Well since I posted last, my little pal seems to have picked up and rallied round, I’ve postponed the awful decision as I don’t feel it’s time for us to part company just yet, I’m very relieved, we’re still going to see the vet but just for a once over and to ask re painkiller for him should he need it in between his monthly arthritis injection. He went with me for a little walk yesterday morning and managed quite well, and yesterday evening he was running off with the ball of string I was using to secure the cardboard I was putting out for the recycling! I just wanted to say thanks for your wonderful support in this matter xxx Furthermore my friend Ali e who has Harry’s sister, is going to look after him for a few days in early August so I can have a few days away. She’s had similar worries with her dogs health and I know I can trust her completely to care for him while I’m away (4 days in London)
