My dear sweet Tully in palliative care

Caro, beyond sorry to hear of the struggle. Tully has been so tough, hanging in there through multiple issues. As Ann says, age is just a number, and if she falls short of 15, she still had a remarkable and long life. Three of mine passed just short of birthdays so I do understand what you are saying. But it is our ultimate gift to our dogs to let them go when the time is right. Only you and your vet will know when that is. Sending much love and hope for strength and grace to you and sweet Tully.
 
The sad thing is that Tully's not ready to go. Last night she wanted cuddles and play, this morning she's 'playing' with the puppy and hovering for food. But like almost every morning now I've just finished cleaning up the laundry from the overnight mess, and Tully will drop the food all over the floor because she's not hungry after all. Her body is giving up but her mind isn't.
 
Little bugger, took her on our walk tonight and she didn't want to get in her stroller and tried to run away! I actually had trouble catching her. I have no idea what got into her, well maybe the extra prednisolone she felt less pain (shame it's hastening her decline too). She still stinks and isn't eating, but she's happy - at least until she wakes up and wonders why she's so sore.
