Had to let my lad go last night, had a bit of a tumble down some concrete steps a couple of weeks ago, then 3-4 days later started to struggle on his walks scraping his claws, seems he may have exasperated a nerve problem in his back and started to lose use of his left hind and front leg, so sad as he was in great health two weeks ago to seeing him at the end, so prefer to try and remember him for being the lovable, lazy, greedy sex pest he was.

For anyone considering getting a dog, please don’t be put off by getting an older rescue (with a sound temperament), he was brilliant and I don’t regret a single day, not saying he didn’t have any challenges, which is always likely with a hound (following its nose, finding the most obnoxious smelling things he could find to eat), but he was genuinely a wonderful little dog and he’s left a very big hole in my life.
