In reply to EJ Lamprey. Thanks EJ, so sorry for the tears. These animals do carve themselves into our hearts don't they. I hope your lovely old girl keeps being as difficult and lovable for years to come.

Okay, I’m in tears. Hugs, Georgia. Had a horse similar to XXXX (smaller! but as big a heart, he knew no fear). Have a ‘problem child’ dog (who also appears in my books, and was at least as evil as Maggie) who has mellowed dramatically over the four years since her rescue but is still not to be trifled with. So many dogs over the years, but she has carved a special place just by being so difficult. She’s old now, well over bulldog lifespan, luckily the other half, whatever it is, keeps her going. She will be defiant to the end.

I’m so very glad you made the decision you did, and that it worked out as it did.

It’s so hard whe you lose a dog. They just don’t live long enough. xxx

In reply to Vallypee. So sorry for the tears, and memories, Val. It's astonishing the impact these furry creatures make in our lives, isn't it? You're quite right about the treatment though, plus it would have been a miserable way for her to exist while she went through it. Thanks so much for reading and commenting, I do appreciate it xx

Oh dear, Georgia, you have made me cry now. This post brought back all the gut wrenching misery I felt when I had to say goodbye to my own dog – two years ago now, but still too fresh. I’m so very glad you had that extra time with Poppy and I’ll bet you’re glad you took the decision you did now. The treatment might have killed her earlier! Your story about the wonderful horse got me started and Poppy finished me off, but thank you for a beautiful post!

In reply to Cathy. Thanks Cathy, I do realise that at the grand old age of 14 1/2 I was lucky to still have her anyway, but whatever time you have with a loved one is never enough, is it. xx

Posts like this always make me tear up. I’ve lost several dogs through illness and I feel your pain. They are so much a part of our lives and leave an enormous gap when they leave. So glad you and Poppy had more time together than you initially thought xx
