Some of you may be wondering who Bailey is, he was Chillinator's lovely, 11 year-old Golden Retriever. Luke found a small lump on his leg last week and took him straight to the vets, a blood test result came back as normal a couple of days ago and the lump turned out to be a harmless cyst.

Today, however, we came back to find Bailey lying on the kitchen floor breathing very heavily. We rushed him down to the vet where he started convulsing and sadly his heart simply couldn't take the strain any longer.

The vet had no idea what the cause was - hopefully we'll find that out in a few days.

Luke seems to be trying to hold it together but I can tell it's hitting him hard underneath. He might not be around for a couple of days; he needs some time and a bit of comfort. Bailey really was a lovely dog and full of life, I'll certainly miss him jumping on the bed every morning and licking my face.

Rest In Peace sweetheart, run free.

So sorry for your loss! RIP sweetheart x
