I posted a week or so ago about our senile, incontinent dog - knowing that his time was probably close. We've been keeping him going and he's generally ok in spirits. However, we're going on holiday on 6th August and I'm desperately worried that he'll not be here on our return. Our 2 dogs are staying with friends and it seems such a big 'ask' to expect them to cope with all his health ailments and possible demise. Our vet is completely fab - she's supportive of our dilemma - but wants us to be aware of our other dog's feelings, too. She's suggested that if we do decide to have him pts then it should be this week to give Maggie time to adjust to his absence before leaving her to go away. God, what an awful dilemma. Any views welcome - I fully understand that there are no easy answers.

Many thanks to everyone. I know he's at peace which is comforting. We're imagining Harley running through the forest with his enormously cumbersome stick, returning home to an overflowing food bowl and cuddles on the sofa! No more confusion or pain. x
