Today is a sad day in our house. Our dear dog ,loyal friend of nearly 12 years has been put to sleep. I felt the need to write this as a little tribute to him. He had been getting a bit unsteady on his back legs and grumbling alot, but still enjoyed his walks and his dinner so we had put it down to old age. He then started having fits over christmas. The one I saw is something I never wish to see again. So today with sad hearts we took him to the vets . She thought as we did that he had a brain tumour probably spread from somewhere else. Drugs could have given him a few more weeks but the kindest thing was not to let him suffer. So we said goodbye and sat with him until the end. I have never had to do anything so sad. Jackson is looking for him in the garden and has never been alone before so we dont know how he will adjust as he is of a nervous disposition at the best of times.
Anyway just needed to write this down sorry if it depresses anyone who reads it.
