There is so many people that we need to thank for all there help they have shown us and given us over the last 1 and half years when Penny first took ill.
Firstly i have to thank my fantastic vets the 2 stephens there hard work and dedication we will never forget, they never gave up, they were always there for us and penny and always squeezed us in when we needed them.
They have just been amazing and they did go that extra mile to try and help Penny, Stephen Champion and champions vets staff and nurses especially Laura i have to say with out a shadow of a doubt is the best vets i have ever experienced, they know and understand what our pets mean to us.
Stephen champion who owns Champions vets he always went out his way to show his care, commitment and dedication he is without a doubt in the right JOB but i think it is more than a job to him, if ever you need a vet and you are based in Scotland i have to highly recommend him id travel from the other side of Scotland to keep him as my vet .championvet
Thank you page on behalf of us and Penny
When Penny passed away Stephen Champion called me at home to talk to me in amongst my tears he told me what i needed to hear "that i did the right thing" as she was so ill, he spent time with me on the phone when he was not at work and they sent us flowers, HOW MANY VETS DO THIS??? I believe they loved our Penny as much as we did, she became a bit like the surgery dog as she was always there visitng for something or other.
So a huge thank you to my VETS who helped Penny so much
A huge Thank you to my mum and brother who over the last couple of weeks have been very comforting to us with there comforting words, and support,My mum lost KIM who grew up with Penny only a year before Pennys passing, kim passed away to the dreaded cancer also, so it was hard for her but she was there to comfort me when i really needed it, i couldent have got through it with out her help, penny was special to everyone in my family in her own wee way she touched so many people she had been through so much and she kept fighting.

I really am thankful to all of you, you all knew what Penny meant to me and still does mean to me, she was so special, and thanks to Penny i have found my own way in life and know that i now want to help other labradors in her honour and im sure she would approve.
I will be making a site to re-home labradors within the Glasgow area, to help find them forever homes and happiness again.
Another little thank you to my other dogs Holly, Boni and Tammy who didnt get there share of my attention over the last few weeks, as my time was so wrapped up with Penny, but they stepped aside and let me get on with it, i really believe they knew she was ill.
The song on this page, was always my song to Penny " i cant smile without you" and on the day i got her ashes back, i cried so much as i held her close to me , then on the tv came an advert advertsing barry manilow and the song they played was " cant smile without you" i believe this was Penny letting me know she was still around watching me
Another Huge thank you to all the staff and vets at pets accident and emergency hospital, in particular to Leslie who runs it, who through out pennys illness with her diabetes at the start,Leslie Herd was a tremendous support to us and really supported and reassured us every step of the way, and to Lauren the nurse their who really helped me when penny was put to sleep, Lauren and susan both really helped me through this as at the time it was a complete nightmare to me and i struggled with letting Penny go, the staff there helped me so much, they are all fantastic,peta&e
