RIP White Bear

So it's the day after one of the hardest days of my life....My little white bear passed away on 15th March.. never to be forgotten!

For us, we found out around midnight in Malaysia we cried and then had a stupid attempt at sleeping which obviously didn't work.
I cannot put into words how gutted I am, but there comes a point when you have to accept that she is gone and there is nothing you can do, even if we had been home there was still nothing we could do...

The tummy issues she had been having that had been investigated by the vet...she was cut open two years ago and they still didn't find what was wrong, we took their advice and did the best we could changing he diet, getting up with her at 2am in the morning to let her out, coming home and cleaning the mess when she had an accident... and my god it was usually a mess (strangely I can have a small smile at that now),but obviously there was more to it than met the eye and then it took her away from us.

I love my material things I do, but I would take memories over items anyday, and Laika has left me with some amazing memories...
As  puppy she would love sitting on the windowsill her little floppy ears not yet standing up, she would jump from the chair to Matts arms, she was the cutest little bundle.
We would take them walking and they would get covered in mud, she would just lay in it, she would fly off any pier into water to chase a ball and really she would take off with such momentum that she would seem to fly through the air! She adored her football and her yellow ball when out walking, if you tricked her into thinking it had been thrown she would trot gazelle-like until she was defiinte it had not been thrown.
She was a snuggler, she would snuggle with you on the bed, on the settee, on the floor, she just wanted to be with you most of the time, she would hide her little face under her paw as she snuggled in for a nap! Matt would pull her around to get her from one end of bed to other where she would lay with her head on the pillow whilst he cuddled up to her. She used to sit on 'my settee' sometimes landing so her bum was literally on my lap if the cushions (which she was frightened of) would be spread out more than usual.
For me the biggest thing about Laika was her pretty face and characterful personality, she was a gorgeous looking dog and would pull little faces that made her cuter, her sleepy face made me want to go to sleep instantly!

I can't imagine my life without her, she was such a big part of our little family, but when you have pets this time will always come and not matter how sad you are for your loss you can always know that you did your best for them. Laika lived a happy life she was loved so much, she never wanted for anything, most importantly she knew this.

Laika will now live on in my heart and in my memories.
