its with a heavy heavy heart that im here to let everyone know that this morning i decided enough is enough. i had the vet who had been dealing with storm come out to help him over the finish-line. the hardest descision ive ever made .He was due more scans today and an mri brain scan but to me exploratory tests werent bringing him back from where hes been the last week.

i collected him last night from the vet and in a couple of days hed failed and looked like he was losing his hard fought battle, he wasnt waggy and stuck upagainst me like hed usually do, instead i got "the look" from him that id been waiting for. id said for a year that when he gives me that look ill know were at the end of our journey together. so this morning ive cried till i got the courage to fone the vet. mr morrow at gortlands vet thinks that although the cancer wasnt apparent in tumour form it had reached his brain stem.

so at 1100am johnny and partner called to my house. 1108 i held my warrior till his big heart stopped.

Storm when you chose me at 8 weeks old i was privileged and its been an honour to have you for 8 years. part of me has went with you and someday i hope you give me it back.

thanks to my mate ian for being here when i needed you.

Well i was gonna say that perhaps Storm has gone to a better place, impossible though, for im sure that he wanted for nothing, and had the best treatment from a true dog lover, you have lost a great friend and member of your family, and to say im sorry is an understatement, but that is all i have to offer.

Dearest John, My heart aches for you today and our thoughts are with you. You both knew the time was right and you were his rock. I can't find the right words but Debby has put on such a beautiful picture of Storm and some lovely words to go with it.

RIP Storm,

Love Jenny
