About a month ago I posted a question regarding a difficult decision following my dog being diagnosed with Cancer. I received loads of really helpful and most importantly objective advice for which i was and remain very grateful.

Several people asked for an update, so here goes.

Dog has had a fantastic month, lots of treats, mostly ice cream based, long walks in the forest and has spent loads of time with me at work and pretty much anywhere else I have been for the past month. We have had weekly visits to the vets who have been monitoring him as his weight was falling but otherwise he has been the same bright spark he has always been for the past 10 years

Unfortunately he went downhill rapidly this weekend. He was fine on Saturday morning but by the evening clearly unwell and during sunday got worse.

This morning the vet put him to sleep.

We are of course devastated but know that we gave him a good life and the best last month possible.

So thanks again to everyone who responded a month ago.

Take care.

Jem, that's absolutely lovely.

My thoughts are with you, but he had a great month. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx He's now chasing rabits, rolling in fox poo, suffering from selective hearing loss, in the great beyond.

YOU DID WHAT WAS RIGHT XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bless you for loving your dog so much. I'm sure he was happy and knew he was loved. Take comfort from the fact that you ABSOLUTELY did the right thing at the end. Big hug to you. x

What a wonderful life your darling doggie had with you he will have known how much he was loved. I am so sorry for you and your family with your loss I do hope you will come to terms with it over the weeks/months to come. You will eventually remember all the good and funny times and the pain will lessen in time. My thoughts are with you, sending you lots of hugs.

I am welling up, which I don't readily do. I never met the wee chap, but the loss of a beloved dog is always hard. At least you can be proud that he had the best of everything right up to the end
