Just under a month ago, I blogged that The End Is Nigh – and today it arrived.
It has been very clear over the last week that Watson was on the downward slope – he was finding it difficult to stay upright, and preferred to spend the day resting and sleeping. He would no longer come into our bedroom every morning to wake Martin and steal a sock from the clothes basket, or ask to be chased around the dining table every evening.
On his daily walks, he could only manage a little way outside the house before he would collapse and need to rest and recover his strength. I needed to help him get back upright on all fours before he was able to carry on.
Today we decided that he had reached his final destination and called the vet.
She came, with a vet in training, and with gentle care put him to sleep.
Watson, we will miss you.
