Her last few weeks camping....

Thank you x

We have a vet coming on Thursday, a vet who specialises in stress free, caring euthenasia at home. 6 weeks ago the vet suggested that we had 6 to 8 weeks with her. The tumour has burst her anal glands and infection is a big risk.

I think the vet is going to be surprised. The holiday at nene country park has had a wonderful effect. She is like a five year old at present. WE are not kidding ourselves but who knows, we may be able to give her another holiday in May. As long as she is happy and pain free, that's all that matters.

Let's hope so. She's a lucky lady to be part of such a caring home either way. Take care Jen x
 
I‘ll keep my fingers crossed and wow how strong you are! So clear and in everything you do: Best for her is most important even when that means to let her go. Wonderful GrannyJen!
 
Well,

The vet came on Thursday. This is the vet from the "home euthanasia" specialists. A lovely, caring man who expected to be coming to visit a dog in her final days.

He instead found a doggie free from the infection that nearly killed her: A doggie strong, playful and happy. Yes, the tumour had grown, but the raw mess where it had burst her anal glands had healed.

His next visit is in four weeks, unless something dramatic happens. Who knows, instead of Bella's last holiday the next thread may be "Bella's next holiday".

Every day a gift. Every day a memory. Every day a joy to see Bella so happy. We know the end is near, but her happiness now is the most priceless commodity.
 
Lovely to hear that you have some extra time with her GJ.

Our last dog got a tumour near his anal glands, that sounds similar. He carried on quite happily for several months, running about as normal, then suddenly went downhill one day and it was obvious that it was his time. I don't think he suffered too much.

xxx to Bella.
