    Spoke to the vet tonight. she thinks it’s likely Polo’s got a nerve based tumour, which is why it’s not responding to pain relief. We’re going to try increasing his gabapentin for a few days but he’ll have to get significantly better as his quality of life is poor. He’s a fighter but I think this is his last battle ....

    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Oh no! I know he’s no spring chicken but even so he is a beloved family member and you don’t want him to suffer but at the same time you don’t wanna lose him either. I don’t envy your position right now but know that I will be thinking of you.

    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

    I know.

    Katie’s in pieces as she hasn’t been able to see him. We’re trying to sort something out for the weekend

    Is it possible you could make him comfy in the garden and while inside let Katie go in the garden with him for a while so she can see him and spend that bit of time?

    Yeah, that’s the plan. We’ve got a side gate so she doesn’t have to go through the house
