Difficult decision, one I’ve been trying to gloss over and put off until ‘tomorrow’ for too long… today we had to have our pet dog Squishy put down, he had a tumour on his leg, that we kept trying and trying to get right. It never healed and kept bleeding, it got to the point where he didn’t want to go outside anymore.

My lasting memory of him will be when we had stock feed potatoes, he used to bring one from the pile and drop it our feet. He loved playing ball with them, but always got very confused if we threw them back on the pile! He was a great dog, no good at ratting but very good at cuddles!

The vets did a great job, and we stayed with him until the end. He’s buried on the farm now, back where he belongs, thanks for 12 years Squish!
