Don't really want to make this post, but I'd better do it now than put it off. Just back from saying goodbye to Deacon at the vets. He's just had a bad run of illnesses for the last couple of months, his arthritis has been getting worse and worse and he's been really unwell all weekend so we decided that it was time to call it a day.
Feel dreadful, that spark was still there, but he's hardly been more than a couple of minutes from the house for weeks and he's become frightened of tackling the stairs in the house because his back legs have just gone. Knew this day was coming, just didn't think it would feel so bad.
Gutted, the most photogenic of dogs and I can tell had the nicest nature. Difficult decision but the right one by the sounds of it. Still, gutted and thoughts going out.
Really sorry to hear that I_R, Deac will be missed round these parts. Just know that in addition to clearly being a legendary pupper IRL he was an 11/10 good boye on the internet as well and brightened up many an aging millenial's day whenever he appeared in the thread.
