On Thursday night, Troy looked like he wanted to go for a walk, so I took him by car to the Country Park. He first didn't want to jump into the car, but did so when I asked him. The walk itself wasn't good as Troy stopped a lot, did't know where he wanted to go and was quite wobbly all the way around. I knew that this was probably the last walk.
Over the last few days, he got more wobbly and yesterday and today he has started to refuse food again. He ate half his breakfast this morning, a couple of licks of his lunch... so I went and got some chicken breast and cooked it. So he ate a pound of warm cooked chicken with lots of gusto.
In the evening, I took the other boys for a walk and when I came home Troy was laying down in the same position I left him, but he'd pood. He either couldn't, didn't want to or didn't know he had to get up... I suspect he oculdn't get up as I had to help him later when he couldn't lift his backend up to go for a wee.
Since then, he hasn't moved and I just tried to give him some chicken again and although he took one piece after a lot of persuasion he is refusing to eat more now!
I think we are reaching the end of the road now... he looks tired and his eyes are almost always closed now! I will sleep downstairs tonight and tell Cornel tomorrow to come and see him. My heart is breaking...

Vera, what a beautiful dog your Troy was. I understand only too well the pain you are going through. Your writing about Troy is so beautiful and will surly keep him alive within you. I am so sorry for your loss and I pray you will steadily move through your grief and sadness.
