"we had to make the heartbreaking decision yesterday to get our beautiful girl put to sleep 💔 i just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff who over the years have made our vet visits so easy, we were very lucky with Molly that she didn't need many vet visits other than her yearly check ups but on the odd occasion (she claimed she was ill) i say this as more than once she fooled us acting ill not bring able to walk but would get to the surgery and she would hop right out the car and strut right up to reception for a gravy bone haha but in all seriousness she had the best care, and as heartbroken as we are she had an amazing 14 years here and had a great life with lots of love, so we thank you from the bottom of out hearts 💗"
