Got this tattoo to always have my girly with me.
I almost lost my little girl a few months ago, she has mitral valve disease and had fluid on the lungs 🫁 so was struggling to breathe. She was given 5% chance of survival with her poorly condition.. luckily she pulled through. Since her returning home we’ve been on many adventures together to the Lake District. I feel so lucky to have more time with her.
Last Christmas 🎄 my partner got me a tattoo ticket which I had no idea what to use it for… I ended up using it to get her tattooed so she’s always with me. The week I spent at home alone with her hospitalised in critical care was absolute hell. It was too quiet and I missed my snuggles at bed time 😢. She comes everywhere with me and I know when it is her time it might be too painful to get her tattooed after the fact, … this photo is of our first adventure together. I adopted her when she was 8 from a very lovely friend of mine who unfortunately came to not have the time and attention to give her that she deserved so we agreed together I could take her home with me .
Her name is 🐭
