Alfie
25 Answers
As many of you know, I adopted a beautiful little dog in Spain back in April 2006. I brought him back to England in 2010 and he was subsequently found to have Leishmaniasis. We have treated this aggressively in the past but always been mindful that we are dealing with an incurable disease.
His disease and indeed his quality of life have significantly deteriorated over recent weeks and we sought the opinion of the Vet again last night.
Following quite a frank discussion, Alfie's dad and I have made the heartbreaking decision to end his suffering. He's booked in for 11am on Monday.
We will spoil him over the next few days and I will cook one final "family dinner" on Sunday and I know Alfie will be by my side in the kitchen the whole time, as usual.
Many tears have already been shed and I know the worst is yet to come.
I am going to miss my little rascal so very much.

The vet sent me a card to say that he knew I had done the right and above all, humane thing. I found it helped to sit the cat on my lap on that last night and tell her everything I wanted to say. I know she couldn`t hear me because she was deaf but it was a comforting moment.
