Decisions

This was written on Monday when the photo was taken

Merlin is very poorly...

For several years he has had a lot of problems and almost daily little 'accidents' but he has had more the last couple of days. This morning I noticed his back feet and base of his tail are swollen and it is obviously hard for him to walk - he looked at me sadly and blinked his eyes saying " help me".(the photo shows his feet)

J rang the PDSA but he can't be seen until tomorrow afternoon. We have important hospital appointments in London today and tomorrow so we couldn't really have gone earlier anyway. I think that despite passing urine he has a fluid build-up and if it is also around his heart then there is no hope. Much as we love him dearly we pray that perhaps he will pass in his sleep, otherwise we will have to make a decision which will be in his best interests...

He sends his love to all of you who have been following his journey and to remind you that 'Love Is Eternal'


On Wednesday our dear, dear friend went to meet his Maker...
