Reading your lovely stories this week has made me happy and also sad, especially the Tennyson quote because 2 weeks ago we found out that our little Alice has a bladder tumour.
We have always had 2 Yorkies, at the moment the largest we have ever owned our Bradley age 4 and our tiny Alice age 8.
The tumour is inoperable because it is in the wall of the bladder and she is too tiny to survive the op.
We do not know how long we have ,hopefully quite a while yet.
She is on low dose anti inflammatories and has an injection every Tuesday to check the growth of the tumour.
She is happy, running on her walks, barking in the window at passers by and fighting Bradley for the toys.
Her only problem, she is peeing for Britain so has gone back to puppy pads and wakes up a couple of times in the night to use them.
We know that in the future we shall have a decision to make and, like most of you here know, it is not an easy one but none of us would see our 'babies' suffer in pain.
At the present time we have 2 happy Yorkies one of which is becoming very ,very spoilt ,lol.
