“I want to thank you for it. Thank you for being the most impactful silent supporter. I know how tough these last months have been for you. Thank you for fighting so hard to stay with us for as long as you could.

She continued: “Your mummies and your little brother will miss your cuddles, your sassy walks, and your bossy behaviour. Your ‘I know my worth’ attitude. Demanding, yet the most caring personality. We will miss your sweet little face and those big eyes that looked so deeply into one’s soul.
“I know you felt how loved you were when we held you in our arms as you fell asleep forever, even though our hearts were breaking…”
Thank you for fighting so hard to stay with us for as long as you could.
Concluding her tribute, Katya said: “You are the most perfect creature to have ever trotted this earth. @thesashalatoya @aggypure, we will never be the same… But we know our girl is the sassiest boss queen up there.
“12 June will forever be Crumble day.”
