Lambert is dying

[Catherine]

Thank-you all for your kind thoughts. It is hard losing any pet, but he was the last of the original family and he was the last of the Groom's Pet shop pets. They closed years ago, but they didn't seem quite gone until now.
Lambert was a little sweetheart, but he was also nicknamed "Bratnick"
because he was the one who pulled down piles of clean towels to sleep on. He was a real character.

I am glad he was healthy until the end. Even that morning he ate well and was himself. There were subtle signs of age, I was watching, but I thought Rosebert his son was aging faster. So Lambert was a healthy happy guy right to the end.
Robbie seemed the most unsettled this morning. He didn't know where to stand at breakfast time. Rosebert and Norbert are brothers and have been together all along. I think Robbie was really attached to Lambert. He will need a lot of attention right now.

So I will release Lambert to his happy homecoming and spend my time with the boys he left behind.


I shall so enjoy seeing them all again.
