Happy Birthday dear lad xxx

Thank you all , Nelly has been tired again but she did enjoy a short walk , even chased some leaves which was so lovely to see . So far no adverse side effects to the new drugs , she is such a good girl to have both of the syringed into her mouth too . We have an appointment with Sue on Monday...

Chicken is waiting patiently in the greenhouse xxx

I made a memory box for Sam when he died , just a couple of his favourite toys, his collar etc . I put it away until I felt strong enough to open it . The loss of a dog is not just the loss of the dog but the loss of a way of life , so many situations when they were included in our every day...

Its very early days but she didnt wake in the night , first time in several days that she hasnt cried out or seemed anxious , fingers crossed that the drugs are helping her xxxxx

Poor love , we have completely overlooked the fact that it is her birthday , not a very happy one for her but she is fighting this for all she is worth xxx

We are home after a very long consultation . Nelly now has pregabalin and metacam plus omeprezole . There is a small amount of swelling on her spine close to the neck and she also has a growth in her mouth at the front . The main thing of course is to treat the neurological problems , she has to...

Thank you dear friends . I took Nelly back to bed at 5 a.m. , she was exhausted poor little love . I made a nest for her , she went to sleep and is still asleep now but I carried her to her little basket in the sitting room as she panics if left alone . Every hope I can hope is pinned on our Vet...

Another bad night , Nelly hasnt cried much but is very unsettled . I have sent Paul back to bed and so I`m on the sofa with coffee and both dogs . I have given her metacam and hope it helps , she is wanting to go outside all the time but doesnt do anything when she gets there , its been a long...

No , its usually given to calm the dog in an emergency situation which in turn helps them to cope better but usually given in capsule form to be used rectally . Nelly has gabapentin but as this disease is progressing , it becomes less effective , there are other drugs to try such as pregabalin...

We have just gone through a really tough time with out little one . She is strongly suspected of having Chiari Malformation , she has every single symptom , the only definitive diagnosis being an MRI . Unfortunately there is no Vet with an MRI in Cornwall and in any case , a formal diagnosis...

Thank goodness for your kind neighbour and that Ted is ok , must have been a frantic worry for you xxx

A true testament to a wonderful girl , that the receptionist shared your tears . Tears are a good release of emotion, nothing wrong with a loss of composure , I would also have given you a hug xx

Oh Karen , I feel for you so much . As you know , I have lived with seizure dogs and so am aware how awful these are to witness and also your worry about the future . Its no use me saying dont worry , of course you will , I am so sorry . Also very sorry to hear how poorly you have been/are so...

Big smiles to see Reuben off to Playgroup just now, first time in about 5 weeks due to his nail issues . He was so excited to see Anna coming down the path for him xx

Lovely photos Natalie , what good boys xxx

I often think of Sam , mainly because I have a massive reminder beside me in his great nephew . I also think of all the others who went before and firmly believe that we do not ` get over ` our loss but in time we learn to live with it , eventually looking back with smiles and happy memories of...

It really is the hardest and most awful time , constant reminders are everywhere often taking us by surprise and bringing with them the tears . My heart truly goes out to everyone who has lost a precious dog , grief they say is the price we pay for love xxxx

Reuben has a new nail growing , at last and made us smile :clap: It seems to have taken forever but the nail bed dried up eventually and thankfully a nice black nail is emerging so its back to Playgroup later this week, I`m sure he has missed his pals xxx

I wont tell Reuben yet , he will go crackerdog :tail:
