Vale Tammy

Almost exactly 11 years ago I published this post.

This afternoon I sent a less pleasurable email to family members.
She has been going downhill for most of the last year and the process has been accelerating recently.  She's stopped getting excited about us returning when we left her, and tolerating (most days) going for a walk rather than leaping up and down demanding to go.  She also seemed confused about where she was - stand looking at a blank wall, not know where doors were etc.  Over the last few days she also seemed to lose bladder and bowel control.  Her quality of life was marginal at best.
So we decided that it was time to put her out of her misery which we did with the aid a very caring vet this afternoon.
She gave us 11 good years and I hope we did the same for her.
