Thankyou all so very much for your replies, we are still reeling here - her basket is still in the kitchen and her bowl is still on the kitchen floor I just cant do it yet - its as if shes in the hall still - sleeping like a draught excluder like she normally did. Ive even thought I heard her snoring last night. Woke up this morning and it took a couple of seconds to realise that she had gone.
Rosie was the only constant in my children's fairly traumatic life in the last couple of years - she saw my eldest start school (hes now 13 1/2) my youngest born, my stroke, youngest start school, my marriage breakup and a move away from my family. Many many a time Ive sobbed into her neck - and now shes gone. Evie will make a new place in our family - and shes got Rosies name in her KC name - shes Rosie's Midnight Hope.
