A Little Life Update: My Little Rosie

So a couple of days ago, my little Rosie passed away.

For those of you who might be a little bit newer to the show, Rosie is my 11 year old French bulldog.

One of two that we've had.

Hugo sadly passed a couple of years ago, leaving our lovely little girl Rosie, um, She's such a beautiful girl and such a funny personality.

So loving, so loyal, but also fiercely independent.

She actually reminds me of myself a little bit.

And those of you in my inner circle will already know that about six months ago, Rosie had to have a mast cell tumour removed because And I don't know how much you know, I don't really know a lot about it.

But from my understanding, a mast cell tumour, obviously a tumour can be cancerous.

And the mast cells are like what makes your body fight or produce histamine, right? So basically, for the last six months, we have been controlling what have almost been allergic reactions in Rosie.

And we've managed to get on top of it.

And we made a decision because she's so old.

She's 11 years old.

We made the decision not to sort of do any further tests or anything and just let her life go.

take its course in the dignified way that she deserves and that we would all want at such an old age.

So we sort of decided to let fate play its part.

And yeah, we managed to get on top of her symptoms just by using antihistamines.

And she was doing so well.

She um so this was out of the blue for us which sounds a bit silly because obviously we have been managing symptoms so it's not really out of the blue but given that she's had she's been fine um and that's a lovely thing like she her last few days with us she enjoyed camping um snuggling up next to us in the tent And just having a few last normal days here with us and the boys before they go back to school.

And Rufus, of course.

So yeah, we're all a little bit heartbroken right now.

Shocked but also not shocked.

It's a weird feeling.

But it was all very peaceful.

Very peaceful and we can't really ask for any more than that.

Like I spent all day yesterday crying.
