Ruth my heart is breaking for what you have gone through with this beautiful girl, but at least her last days and indeed hours were full of love and caring. Run free now Finch with no more pain and suffering. Love and hugs to you Ruth. XxxxX

Having a cry as just read about Finch. Like to have a look every few days for any news for Dad. From what I have learned over the last few months about DB, she was in the best place and with the best of 'friends'. Off to see Stanley and Gemma today after work will be giving them both a cuddle and a treat as well as my 2 cats when I get home. Take care everyone.

We asked to take Finch out into the garden at the vets as the sun was shining and she went to sleep in the warmth of the sun and being cuddled. Sleep tight precious - my heart is broken you could not have had longer. Thank you Jill for meeting me at the vets - it meant an awful lot and made what is a very very difficult thing to do a little bit easier. x

I think over the last few years this is one of the saddest times I have read the discussion board. I was so apprehensive to log on this morning as it fills me with tears, I think because Finch's age is so close to Rose our beautiful greyhound. I love the oldies and really feel for them that they need safe loving homes. I have comfort to read that Finch has been so well cared by Ruth and Daybreaks. xxx.

Such a tragic story. I can't help but think about Finch's previous owner too, it's such a shame. However, it sounds like she's had a lovely few days and been treated like a queen, even though she sounds so poorly. Big hugs to you Ruth and everyone else who's been touched by this lady's story.

Hi Honey'smom, thanks so much for this. Made me feel better.....daisy dog is a real home girl...just like your Honey. Your comments made me think of her behaviour in different way....funnily enough though with dogs shes ok, its just people and things and places that she doesn't like! And strangely enough she loves having her lead put on - wags her tail and gets excited. Perhaps for her the car is her walk! Really appreciate your reply. x

Today is going to be difficult - I am taking Finch to the vets at 11am. She slept on our bed last night (now in the wash due to the amount of blood on it) and has just had a lovely breakfast of sausage and ham which she loved! This morning will be not sad but a happy one of lots of cuddles due to the pleasure of having this beautiful girl be part of our lives for just a few days. The sad part is her prognosis which is out of my control so I have to concentrate on what I can do for her for the best and that is to make her as happy and comfortable as possible. She is going to have me driving her crazy this morning smiling and chatting to her and taking lots of photos! She has such a happy waggy tail and has started smiling at me which I love 🙂
