Lola has had a bad couple of days. She is miserable, not eating properly and her eyes are telling us it is time to let her go.
Spoke to the vet earlier and she agreed that we could let Lola have the weekend, she will be spoilt, pampered and loved and on Tuesday the vet is going to come to the house to put her sleep. We have decided to bury her in the garden in her favourite place and OH is going to dig the hole this weekend with my dad and one of my brothers who are coming down for a visit.
Of course if we feel that Lola is in any pain or she deteriorates we will ring the vet to come out straight away, but all are in agreement that at the moment she is relatively ok.
We got Lola 7.5 years ago from a rescue centre, she had been brought in by the dog warden after being found wandering the streets of Doncaster. When we saw her at the kennels she had only been there a couple of days so we had 5 long days to wait until she was properly ours and we could bring her home. For the first six weeks she was passive, a robot, just going throught the motions of living. Her eyes were dull and expressionless, her tail plastered between her legs. She didn't interact with our other dog or us at all. Six weeks in a switch was flicked mid walk. She left my side and ran, she ran after our other dog and began to play. I cried. That was the day our Lola emerged.
She has given us more happiness, love and joy over the years than I ever thought a dog could bring. She is adored by all who know her. OH's dad first words on every phone call have always been 'How's Lola' and he really doesn't like dogs very much!
I don't know how I am going to manage without my girl.
