I am devasted to announce that today we had to put Katie to sleep.

 
9 months after developing endocarditis, she quite suddenly went downhill, developing arrhythmia to go with her heart failure. 
Letting her go was the very hardest thing I've had to do. I'm absolutely distraught. 


Those of you that knew her will know that she was truly a one in a million dog. The perfect balance of complete idiot and loyal and devoted companion. She would do anything, go anywhere and got on with everyone and everything. Apart from cats of course, of which she had a terrified fascination!


We took her to the top of munros, swimming across lochs, on boat trips to seal watch and she was my constant companion at work for nearly 11 years. She was never a liability, always friendly to everyone and never barked or showed any aggression. 


She had an tireless fascination with small furry things on four legs. We had guinea pigs for a long time, and in all honesty they were her pets. She'd watch them (or their run) for hours without breaking concentration. Never any intent to harm them though - they broke out more than once and Katie didn't touch them.


She's always been there as part of our family and adapted seamlessly when our older daughter arrived nearly 8 years ago. It was infact at Katie that Hanna first properly laughed. 


The girls have been really attentive through her illness and will no doubt miss her terribly.


Katie was truly irreplaceable.
