that was so moving, i hope our basil (17) is now playing with the other animals, he passed away last night peacefully at home, we were told that we may have to put him to sleep but the good lord answered our prayers and took him into his arms with his loved ones around him to give him a farewell after having him 15 years. basil was a rescued dog who when we first got him was quite depressed and poorly, the vet who examined him at the time said he wouldnt last very long but he did and gave us many enjoyable years, goodbye sweet basil you will never be forgotten xx
