Dad: Thanks so much for the kind messages of support when I described our dilemma over Pooch's
health the other day. The missus and I much appreciated them.
After much thought, we have decided that we are not ready to give up on Pooch yet. We feel he is
still enjoying life - playing with his toys, eating well etc. We don't feel he is ready to go to
his final sleep yet, no matter what the vet thinks. Pooch is scared of the surgery so the vet doesn't
see him at his best. He doesn't see him at home - relaxed and happy.
So we're going to try the drug treatment. We know there could be side effects, and that the treatment
might not even work. We're going to try, and we'll see where it goes.
Rest assured that our little dog, whom we adore and whom it has been our privilege
to share with our PBase friends through photos for many years now, will not be allowed to suffer.
We'll be keeping a close eye on his quality of life.
His welfare is our absolute priority, so when it's time to let him go - we will.
