Our dog was healthy, happy and full of energy his whole life. Then a week ago he went off his food, he would eat other things just not his biscuits - then on Thursday he refused everything and started having nose bleeds. We took him to the vets, he had tests, and whilst we waited for results we watched him turn into a different dog.
Saturday we found out what was going on and last night we had to say goodbye.
He had liver failure, and leukaemia. It was aggressive and progressing too fast to treat. They said we would have had a week at most with him suffering if we'd of left him, so we made the tough choice of having him put to sleep.
I feel awful. I feel heartbroken. I want to go back in time and cuddle him more, play with him more, squeeze his skin rolls more and smell him. I feel empty, I know we did the right thing, but oh my god my heart wasn't ready for this. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him, he was the best dog I've ever had the pleasure of knowing 💔
So please cuddle your pets longer and tighter today, I'm in so much shock. ❤️
