Willow

A Sad farewell to Willow … one of the hardest decisions to make .. especially for her foster mum . You may recall Willow underwent surgery on her elbow last year which sadly was not successful and was redone .. rehabilitation, hydrotherapy, was all taken care of by the owner of Chapel Farm Rehab Clare ( who was foster mum) and when we thought everything was going in the right direction Willow then presented as non weight bearing on her other front leg … which after a lengthy process revealed a very bad fracture ….
After all this treatment and rehabilitation the decision was made to heartbreakingly end her life, after consulting with the vet this was the best way forward. One of the hardest decisions to make yet for Willow the kindest way forward…
I know Clare took this very hard .. how do you make that decision when Willow so wanted to live but her body could no longer go on …
Clare .. Willow could not have gone to a better home .. she experienced love , warmth, freedom, holidays..swimming in the sea, running on the sand .. you packed so much into her life with you .. and the photos show the beauty you created … her time with you was short but you gave her life …..
Willow was in the best possible hands with you .. you have been incredible ..
Thank you Clare for everything xx
