Sat at work around 11am and got a text from Mum telling me Damien and Caroline had decided to have Ferris put to sleep. Almost immediately burst into tears, looked bloody ridiculous with people thinking the most tragic thing ever had happened. To be fair it is pretty tragic to us, he was one of the family. Sara took me outside and gave me a hug which was lovely of her. I went home at 3pm to work from home for a couple of hours, spent a bit of time with him before they took him to the Vets.
It's actually making feel incredibly sad writing about it. He looked so peaceful laying down in our house on the quilt all sleepy. I gave him lots of hugs and as he usually doesn't like people getting too close to his face he was surprisingly good letting me give him a small kiss on the head. He was the best freakin' dog anyone could ask for, an absolute legend. He was a grand age of 17 which i'm pretty sure means he should have been getting a telegram from the Queen anytime soon.
Caroline was absolutely beside herself, this was very VERY upsetting to see. Ferris was loved so very much but all the family but we all know it was genuinely the right thing to do, he was struggling to carry his own weight even though he only weighed as much as a feather since he was so thin.
Ferris you were absolutely brilliant and I miss you ever so much already. You touched all our lives and for this we thank you, you will never ever be forgotten :-)
