I never regretted the choice. Bio: Candy was my soul mate. we had so much in common. We both had back problems, skin problems and were inclined to put weight on. I am ashamed to say she weighed nearly 8 stone so we both went on a diet she got down to her ideal weight of 37 kilos and I lost nearly 4 stone. She got through to Pet slimmer of the year final. She was on TV and stayed in a posh hotel at Hyde Park Corner London. The final was held at Kensington Roof Gardens which is where the photo of her curled up asleep was taken. She finished runner up to a draught excluder! She was 11 and a half when I lost her, but she went in 1 day from a tumour on the spleen with secondaries.
