Thankyou all so much for your kind words, especially the poem.

We had a small service for Syd on our nearby beach on Christmas day and found the following poem which we read there:

They say memories are golden
Well maybe that is true
But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you

A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died

In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
No one could ever fill

If tears could build a stairway
And heartbreak make a lane
I'd walk that path to heaven
And bring you back again

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as we are called home, one by one
The chain will link again

we then, (in our our minds and hearts) took Syd on a lovely walk along the beach and threw sticks for him

I have (hopefully) attached a picture of Syd, Sophie and Jasmine (Sophie is in Jasmines bed which is why she looks so pi**ed off! (Jasmine, that is!)

I'll write some more about my boy soon when I've stopped crying some more!

Lovely picture of Syd.

Please don't think he blames you for anything. I know he thanks you for all the love he recieved and he doesn't want you to join him at the rainbow bridge before time as he is happy to wait, he is having so much fun with his friends. I am so sad for you.

I am so sorry to hear your tragic news, run free little Sydney.

Your loss is particularly pertinent to me as I was just viewing the quarantine stations in Aus last week (researching possible places for our next move).
Quarantine must never be an easy situation but like you I would have been comforted by the fantastic life they have on release. With such limited visiting hours 'so the staff can attend to the animals' (as per there link on daff website) I find myself wondering why no one noticed your boy deteriorate.
I really hope you get some better answers and explanation.

My thoughts are with you and your wife, the ceremony on Christmas day you had for Sydney sounds beautiful,

take care, you will find lots of support and comfort from people on this site
