22nd October 2007,my dog Tia, allerted me to a painless lump on my elbow which I hadnt noticed myself.
23rd October 2007, I went to see my GP,this was the beginning of investigations into my illness,NHL.
23rd October 2008, Tia [my girl] went for a scan today,as for the past week I sensed something wasnt quite right with her,the vet phoned confirming my biggest fear,the scan showed that Tia had cancer! I so I had to make the hardest heartbreaking decision of my life to let her go to sleep one final time!
For 12 years Tia has shown me unconditional love,she has been my best friend,companion and comforter in times of need basically shes been with me through Thick And Thin. She always knew how I was feeling and would react to me accordingly, she was BRILLIANT!!!! My Dad [who passed in may 2008 with lung cancer] used to always say ''Tia and I are so in tune with each other it was unbelievable'' This i know for sure was so true and still is and always will be.
Tia was a 'STAFFIE' through and through [sorry crying buckets again now have to cut it short] .
Im lucky to have been able to have 12 years of her delightful companionship.
I will miss her sooooo much, words cannot describe how I feel.

Hi Jacqui,
Your cat sounds amazing thats exactly what Tia used to do its funny how they can sense things, and they are such great company too.
I am slowly getting used to not having Tia around its the little things like not having her greet me when I come home,and her bark each day at 3.15 feeding time, at present I have no intention of getting another as the poor thing would have a lot to live up to,but who knows in the future maybe.
