Night night Cassie….

 

It is with great sorrow that I write this blog.  Yesterday afternoon, while I was writing yesterday’s blog, Cassie snuck off the boat onto the pontoon, wandered along it to the gate, and somehow fell in the water.  We don’t know how she came to fall, but we suspect that she may have had a fit.  She was fished out fairly quickly, but her breathing was very laboured and a very kind family loaded her into the back of their estate car and took us to the local vet.  She was put on oxygen to try to help her breathing, but she deteriorated very quickly.  When it became obvious that she wasn’t going to recover, the vet suggested that the kindest thing was to put an end to her suffering, which we did.

So rest in peace our gorgeous girl.  You’ve crossed the rainbow bridge to doggie heaven where there are lots of feet to sit on and legs to lean against, and every narrowboat bow has someone on it to give you a treat.
