Another poem for you and for your good idea
I too am so upset to hear about little Todd and my heart grieves for you, Gentess.
But you have had a wonderful idea for Rupert's Fund, which is, after all, named after another much-loved Cavalier. If all of us who have ever lost a Cavvie could just give a little for each one, and perhaps put a photo up on the thread too, just think how that would help the researchers - and ultimately, with a bit of luck, all of us who will go on to have healthier little pals in the future.
RIP, Todd, and healing thoughts to your mum
A piece of my heart
By Fionna Duncan
A piece of my heart is made of you
A small but vital place
Full of memories of happy times
That nothing could displace
It’s nestled in and settled down
Like a sleepy, winter mole
It's part of me now, flesh and blood
And it's connected to my soul
In time it will be pushed aside
And other parts will swell
With pets and people and places too
That I will love as well
But you will always be with me
So secure and tucked away
I'll know that you are safe in there
And we'll meet again some day
And when my heart begins to fail
Grows old and frail and weak
You'll still be in that special place
Until it gives its final beat
