Baxter’s Mum here x
Today, Baxter lost his battle. He became very poorly very quickly and we had no choice but to let him go. He was in my arms, looking into his Dad’s eyes.
He was our beautiful boy. Funny, quirky, stubborn, loving. Cont/.
Had my dressing off today pals at the local vets. I’m a bit bruised, but the wound is looking good and I feel a bit more comfortable. In other news, I actually ate some white fish at 3pm feed, the folks were quite emotional, they’re just hoping I eat again at tea time 😬

Hi Baxter’s Mum here.
Today we had the worst news, Baxter has prostate cancer. It’s incurable and chemo won’t offer him anything so it’s about giving him the best 3-9 months we can and keeping him comfortable.
Pals, I am shocked. Guess where I have been for the last 45 minutes...... only locked in the garage!!! 😱🥶 Panicked the folks for a good few minute while they searched for me. Dad’s in the doghouse 😉
Ello pals, it’s me…Ziggy! My new folks came to see me again today. They said they couldn’t believe how much I’d grown and Mummy was obsessed with my puppy belly 🙄 I’m just getting my teefs and tried to have a little chew on Daddy 😬

Morning pals! The bruising is going down and I’m sleeping comfortably. Last few days I have eaten a little more, so M&D quite pleased with me, but we just taking it a day at a time.
Have a furbulous weekend pals!

He made us smile everyday, and we will treasure the memories of a special boy, the best boy, forever.
Rest easy now my boy, no more pain, no more suffering, just endless gravy bones and squizzers x Please look out for him

and all his pals over the bridge x
Don’t tell Dad, but Mum’s having a portrait painted of me for his burfday and can’t decide which pic is best to use. What does you thinks? She’s likes pic 3, but is worried the lighting is too harsh and makes me look greyer than I really am.
Ello pals, it's me...Ziggy! The folks came to see me again today and said they couldn't believe how much I've grown again. They said I'll be joining them in just under 3 weeks - excited ears! 🤗
Pals, I’m now minus my gallbladder and spleen. Turns out my gallbladder was worse than they thought so good it’s gone. Lump on prostate could turn out to be an abscess or cyst, it certainly surprised the vets, so we wait for test results on that.
Well pals, I is home! Vets decided I was well enough so M&D collected me this afternoon. I still have a feeding tube for a few days in case I don’t eat and the folks have some liquid food and a bag full of meds to keep me going.
So pals, M had another call today from the vets. It’s been decided that I will be having surgery to remove my gallbladder and probably my spleen. They will then have a good look inside me and take biopsies of nodules of my prostate and maybe liver.
Well pals, I'm home, at least for now, until our vets open. I'm a bit spaced out, I've been on the good stuff 😉 Apparently I am an 😇 and a credit to my folks according to the nice lady emergency vet. We now see what happens next. Thanks again for your support

Hello pals! I can see you (well, sort of) now my peepers are open! M & D can’t believe how much I’ve grown in a week. They’re coming to see me again next weekend 🤗

Everyone was so kind and I managed not to blub! 😄 and of course the highlight was meeting this little cheeky chappy 😍
#WorldPetMemorialDay
and of course my boy is upmost in my mind, but also are all those other furs who have crossed 🌈 bridge and their hoos that are left behind. I read recently that grief is love that has no place to go 🤎
Happy Heavenly 12th Birthday beautiful boy. Hope there are endless gravy bones and plenty of squizzers to chase up there. Mum and Dad miss you so much 🤎🌈🐾
So pals, vets have repeated the bloods and scans and they’re not happy, so I’m being referred to a specialist. Just waiting for the call to be collected by my folks and taken there.

He gets his tube and stitches out on Friday so we are going to try and get him back to some sort of normal and obviously try and make the next months as happy and loved as we can.

Sad news today pals. My local BT furend who I met at puppy school unexpectedly went over rainbow bridge. She was a bit under the weather on Friday then had to go to emergency vet this morning, had a seizure and didn’t come home. I will miss you Betsie 😢

Pals, I am still at the specialist on fluids and pain relief waiting for the CT scan to be reviewed externally, we should know more tomorrow. I am being taken out for a pootle and a pee regularly and letting them know if it’s not regular enough 🙂. Thank again for the good wishes
Well this isn't how I expected to be spending New Year's Day pals. Been taken to emergency vet cos I keep being sick. I'm having blood tests so we keeping paws crossed 🤞
We've received a beautiful and kind gift from our dear pal

She baffed me! 😫 but I did get to open my Nomsvember box from
@bemorebob2
It's a cracker this month cos I loves meaty treats and chewy things. Thanks Bob! 👍😋
We is sad today. We found out that little terrier pal, Boris, whose pawrents used to have a BT died in his sleep this week. They tragically lost their BT at quite a young age and Boris mended their hearts. He was an older fur and died sun puddling in his conservatory. RIP Boris😢
Mum’s sorted out my treat box so it’s only got low fat treats in it. I’m pleased to see it’s still full 😋 All other treats will be donated to a local rescue x
Not sure how much more of this year I can take. Found out this week that my beloved Dad has lung cancer. He’s 84 and really doesn’t deserve this. Frankly, cancer can go f**k itself!
1/2 Well pals, I’m a bit poorly. Blood test results weren’t good, I’ve had an ultrasound and I have a problem with my gallbladder. I’m on strong pain relief and antibiotics and fluids and I’ll be spending the night at the vets.
