So hard to write, but Higgins didn’t come home. Scans showed his little body was full of tumours and we had to make the dreadful, but only decision to put him out of pain. We held him in our arms as he slipped away and it was so very, very hard.
There is an aching void in the house, a massive hole left by a very small dog.
Thank you all for the lovely messages, thoughts and prayers. I know he had lots of followers and fans who will miss him. Looking back over the blog I’ve found so many pictures, right back to September 2009 when he first arrived and turned our lives upside down.
He was the best boy, my little mate. Always there, especially if there was the possibility of cheese! I don’t quite know how to go on without him at the moment…
I will be back, I’m not quite sure when, I know you’ll understand.

I was heartbroken for you at the loss of dear Higgins, unfortunately thats the inevitable outcome of loving a pet so much, but I too know the deep pain you feel , but you had so many happy times with Higgins which you must always remember, you gave him a lovely life and now he is over the rainbow bridge and has most likely found some new friends to play with. Do take care Penny, and a comforting hug for you. Love from Anne in Redditch

So sorry to hear about Higgins, We had a dog just like him and it was very painful to say good-bye.
Oh Penny..I have tears reading this about your dear little Higgins as I know that terrible aching grief. It is just as strong as losing a close human friend..it is. I will be thinking of you in the days and weeks to come..just remember that although so hard for you to do this..it was your last great show of love and compassion for your best boy when he needed it the most.
I’m so very sorry Penny. I always enjoyed your updates on sweet Higgins.
Oh, dear Penny, my thoughts are with you.
I live difficult times with my 13 and a half year old cat, she suffers from hyper thyroidism which has damaged her kidneys.
Since November, I accompany him in his last moments, there is no solution.
We know well that the time with our companions is always too short, let us keep in mind the reciprocal affection and all these pleasant moments.
sincerely
Oh, Penny. I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing Higgins with us all these years. He brought joy to many. Hugs and tears.
Oi, sinto muito por você, sei que inicialmente essa dor parece sem fim, mas com o tempo,a dor da lugar a saudade e boas lembranças.
