Our lovely Carlo is slowly but surely slipping away from us. The tumour in his mouth is making it almost impossible for him to eat and he doesn't really want to eat any more.Carlo is 12 years old and has been a loyal and loving companion to Jenny and I. We will both miss him when he finally goes.
I am hoping and praying that he gets to live out the full allotment of his days without us having to step in to relieve his suffering. At the moment he's not in pain but you can tell that he's so very tired now.
Over the last week or so I've slept on the floor with him because he so loves to have company during the night. I know that last night he didn't sleep very well and today he has spent most of the day laying in the one spot with his eyes open. As far as I can tell he hasn't slept today and I think that perhaps when he does go to sleep tonight that he won't wake up.
