We had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy Joe on Sunday 15 November.

He was already elderly and had kidney disease when we got him from Battersea at Easter 2014. But it was love at first sight and in the 19 months that he spent with us he gave us so much love and affection. He was the most gentle, polite and wonderful boy and we miss him terribly. Losing him was devastating and we can only hope that we made him half as happy towards the end of his life as he did us.
