‘Three weeks ago yesterday I said goodbye to my sweet boy, Banjo. My heart is completely broken.
‘He was my best friend, my baby and my shadow… and I don’t know what to do without him.
‘He was way ahead of his time – he was staying with dad near Wagga and we think he may have been bitten by a snake.
‘It was very sudden and I would like to thank our vet who fought so hard to save him. We are all so sad.
‘There is still a star in the sky these days. Vale Banjo.’
