I had Max put to sleep today. It's only a few weeks since the tumour was diagnosed in his foot, and I had really, really hoped we would have longer; but the tumour was too aggressive. He was starting to struggle.
You'd think this would get easier, this coming back to an empty house, as you get older, as the collection of old collars which you can never quite bring yourself to throw away in the bottom drawer gets larger. It never bloody does, of course.

You are a very wonderful person for dogs to have the pleasure of being with.
