Feel for you mate I lost a dog not long ago, heartbreaking. He was a good age, mine was a year younger.
Many of you will know of him, (he's my avatar), he suffered a massive stroke which paralysed both of his back legs aged 5 and was given only a 50/50 chance of ever walking again. We all knew he would walk again and did for anotther 9 years.
He passed away today aged four**** and a half.
Named after SBR. Sleep well Bobster. ❤️

It is heartbreaking CL.
Some say it's like losing a member of your family, it's not, it is losing a member of your family.
My dog George a Labrador had a large tumour removed which had give him no pain but he cried for 4 days after surgery.
After a biopsy on the lump the vet said it was a very aggressive cancer and would return.It has returned and it is just a matter of timing it when to have him put to sleep before he suffers with it.
I am not putting him through further surgery which caused him more suffering than the tumour which is external.I don't want to lose my pal and I am dreading the time I have to tell the vet to give the fatal jab.
always devastating to lose a pet. xx
what a champion Bobby must have been though to get through what he did. xx
It's been a terrible day. I made three appointments at the vets but cancelled all of them.
Just couldn't bring myself.
Until today, I knew.
Hasn't made it any easier mind.
Awful decision to make.
Ah, gutted for you, Stan. Genuinely. I'm very sorry, man.
Thank you TL.
He was. I called him a Warrior, but so gentle to everyone, even cats.
So sorry to hear your sad news Stan. I know what you are going through I lost my greyhound, it's six years ago now. I had him from a pup for 11 years. I have a painting of him in front of this desk I'm using so I see him every day.
Whatever you do Stan don't change your avatar.
Thanks Zip.
Devastated if I'm truly honest. Despite knowing it was coming.
