We sadly lost our Westie at the weekend at the age of 15. He was great up until the last six months and started having bouts of breathing issues caused by mass on his lungs. We don’t believe in keeping any animal alive longer than is right and it was his time. He was such a scamp and so lovely with the kids.
We’d had him with his litter brother since they were eight weeks old and they shared beds up until the end. His brother is now lost. He’s had a few accidents in the house, is pacing and his tail is firmly low and down.
We do have another dog in the house who joined us 3 months ago so he’s not on his own but is there anything we can do or should be doing? Possibly not, seems crazy to ask. We have had our boy cremated so we can’t ‘show’ him his brother. I didn’t know that was a ‘thing’ until after otherwise we could have done it. Too late now.
