Max senior collapsed this morning. His legs finally gave up on him. Sadly I’ve had to make “that” decision. With him unable to lift his own weight and complete incontinence I decided it was time. I held his head and made sure we had eye to eye contact as he slipped away. Gutted😢

I come down to this most mornings. I feel so sorry for the old boy. He poops in his sleep and can’t help it. He looks like this until I tell him its ok. I’ve had him for 12 of his 14yrs yet he’s never forgotten the treatment he received before I got him.

“Spend £20 on a draught excluder for the box at the rear of the kennel” they said. “Draught excluders are good at excluding draughts” they said “it’ll keep Max Junior warm” they said.
“Meet Max junior” I said......

Senior was ill treated as a pup and although I’ve had him for nearly 12 yrs he still gives this ‘I didn’t mean it please don’t hit me’ look.He’s a bit incontinent now and that look tells me he’s had an accident overnight. He’s hidden it under the cushion he’s lying on bless him

Happy 15th (ish) birthday to dear old senior!
I say ‘ish’ as he was a rescue from Battersea dogs home (Old Windsor) with no dob. Vet reckoned ‘about two’ when I got him in early 2010. We donated to him a birthday in January. A lovely gentleman who I hope will go on a lot longer

Last Wednesday senior was unable to walk, I carried him into the vet he was shaking, dribbling and throwing up. I thought I wouldn’t see him again. After a week of ups and downs his character and health are back to almost normal. Just his appetite that needs rekindling 😃

My OH’s sister passed away overnight, she wasin an induced coma. OH and her brother have gone round to break the news to their 90yr old Mum. She leaves behind a husband two adult daughters and a grandchild. Bless you Sara two years of hell and pain are over, may you rest in peace

How the hell does he do it? Senior fast asleep in the garden. I get a snack from the kitchen I can see he is still asleep. I sneak into lounge and sit down, within 10 secs in walks senior. Every. Single. Time. It’s bloody spooky if I’m honest 😂😂

I know this is tempting fate but can’t resist. Senior has had solid poos for two days straight! First time for 3 months 😃. The incontinence has also stopped (apart from the odd willy dribble).
Perhaps this tweet is more for dog handlers rather that normal people.....😂

My sweet little new born granddaughter is having to have blood tests today. Midwife has pointed to something that if correct will have lifelong implications for her and the family. I obviously want tests to be negative but if not she will always have all the love & help she needs

Good deed done today, at Aldi check out I was behind an old lady in the queue. Her bill came to £51.60 but when she counted out her change she had just under £50. She didn’t want me to help her bless her, but I insisted, and in no time we had all her shopping back on the shelves.

3 years ago today I had to have my retired explo dog Alfie pts. He was a dear old boy who lived to almost 17. An excellent search dog with eyes that could see into your soul. Rest easy my friend. Locals called him the scruffiest police dog in Berkshire 😂

This has just popped up on my FB feed. 13 years ago senior and I had just passed our Explosives search course. 10 weeks before he was in Battersea Dogs Home a confused wary 2yr old. He trusted me immediately (almost) took a few weeks to realise not all ppl are bad. I miss him!

Always feel a little sad when Senior is in the garden fast asleep and instead of my first thought being ‘bless him’ it’s ‘is he breathing’ 🥲 (yes he is in case you’re wondering…..😂)

Very worried about Max senior. He’s had a delicate back for many years but it’s only occasionally been a problem he’s a very powerful lad Suddenly this morning his hips are all over the place. He’s still his normal happy self but something major has happened. Vets 6pm for exam 😢

Walking home from town loaded with shopping. I notice an ARV pulling up alongside, window rolls down and a voice says “Oi Padders you oId bastard! Wanna lift?”

After 10 days in kennels the boys are back. Junior has, as predicted, lost his voice. He also had the raging hump with me for an hour after I picked him up 😂 sulky not shirty.
Senior is knackered after ‘helping’ the kennel staff each day, they all loved him.

Poor old Max senior forgot himself just now. He ran into the garden instead of his usual trot. His front legs couldn’t keep up and he nosedived into the grass. He’s fine but it was obvious it hurt his pride bless him.

Another handler at a different gate has just searched a large truck full of bread. His spaniel came joyfully running back to him from the depth of the load and presented him with a large scone….. junior of course would never do that…. He’d scoff it first!

Dear old Max senior is off to the vets first thing in the morning. Having an ultrasound scan to see if we can find out what gives him such regular tummy issues. Not keen on him having general anaesthetic but run out of options. Strong ❤️& lungs so fingers crossed.

Update on Grandaughter. She has been thoroughly examined by two paediatricians separately. They disagree with the midwife’s assessment she has none of the physical characteristics of the condition. Decided against blood test as a lot of blood needed and would be traumatic for an

First time in over a year that senior has wanted to climb the stairs, admittedly it’s a slow process but at the end even managed an illegal jump onto the bed! I think coming downstairs on those dodgy legs of his might give me heart failure though 😂
