posh dog or what- we adopted Slinky a couple of years back when our DD2 was no longer able to give him quality time in his old age. Now I've never bought the Tatler and perhaps once thumbed a copy at the dentists' - far to posh for me, lol :

sad can't see properly as eyes have filled up. Condolences granjura. And RIP Slinky, the much loved and cool dog that had his photo in Tatler. Oh, can't see, off for a tissue.

Every condolence granjura. We love our dogs and it is heartbreaking. Despite your sleepless night, it sounds mercifully quick and Slinky will have fallen asleep in the arms of the people he loved most. Not many of us are granted that privilege

Sadness granjura, Slinky sounds like a prince among dogs you were so lucky to have each other. God bless Slinky, go chase those rabbits in the sky.

Thank you so much all- it seems so quiet here tonight and I keep looking for him and then remembering...

but as said, feel so much better that we made a quick decision, and that it was the right one. The vet was full of praise for how we dealt with his diabetes and blindness- and said it was so rare for such a long and happy survival beyond diagnosis, especially at this advanced age.
