not much to say in this blog really.
ive had a shit week, we found out my mums dog jimi( i kind of viewed him as mine too because i was so close to him) we found out he had tumours in his liver and spleen. big horrible nasty terminal tumours.
he had been out of sorts for a few weeks, but nothing extreme or even worrying really, just kind of lost his gusto.
then my mum took her two dogs with them camping in wales and when she got back she warned me that his stomach seemed a little swollen, and that she thought he might be constipated, but when i saw him i knew it was more than that.
so she took him straight to the vet and they said they thought he could just have a blockage and gave him some antibiotics and told her to bring him back in a few days.
she did and they said they wanted to keep him in to take some bloods and if needed do an ultrasound.
then they rang and told her it was tumours that were terminal and very very agressive.
so my mum went to get him and brought him home, she said she couldnt put him to sleep without letting me know and letting me say goodbye, because she knows how much jimi means to me.
we spent a long time talking, and crying and thinking, and cuddling jimi. and we decided that seeing as his death was iminent ( they said he could die a that second or in a week but it would be soon) we just didnt want him to suffer, we coulnt do that to him.
so i did the hardest thing ive ever had to do and give him a kiss and a cuddle and say goodbye, then walk out of the door knowing i wouldnt see him again.
my mum sent me a text to let me know he was gone and i cried and cried and cried.
he was the most lovely dog ever, hes put up with kids yanking his ears, riding him, allsorts....he never yelped or showed a single shred of aggression. not once. he had so much love, in fact ive never known a more selfless loving dog.
a few years ago, my mums other dog died very suddenly, from what we think was a heart attack. she just dropped and stopped breathing, it was horrible, horrific and ill never forget the phonecall from my dad.
at least with jimi we got a chance to say goodbye and give him extra love before he passed.
i will never forget jimi, here a couple of photos
goodnight sweet jimi

At least he's at peace now and knew nothing but love and warmth from you while he was alive. Not many animals get to feel that.
I love you darling, please take care of yourself in the coming days, it's gonna be hard sometimes xx
