It’s not a good week here. Charlie is near the end. I’m cancelling a lot of my appointments and staying home to spend time with him. The vet has said that either he has developed quite significant senility, or has a brain tumour. Either way I feel we’ve given him as much health and time as we can and it’s becoming inappropriate to leave him alone for long stretches of time as he can no longer navigate even small distances with ease. Hopefully  can make his last week a good one, I’ve bought lots of his favourite dog chews and treats and if the weather is good we’ll take as many walks as his arthritis will allow.
