My beloved boy, who is old, has been ill over the past week. There were times when I thought he wasn't going to make it, but he is responding slowly to treatment. He's so brave.
I always knew he'd get old of course and not be in my life forever, but it's something I've tried to put to the back of my mind.
His illness has really brought home just how frail he is and how fragile life can be, especially for someone so small.
I've been crying so much this past week. He's been by my side or lied on me for most hours of the day and night.
It makes me wonder when he does pass away, how will I cope? I can't imagine life without him and it really makes my heart ache when I think about it. I've had pets pass away previously and it's been so difficult, but this boy is so special. I love him with all my might.
