Gadget update and the vets yet again ........

After a tough week dealing with the loss of Molly, this morning it was very clear that Gadget really wasn't well and didn't have long with us. We'd more or less decided that we'd take him to the vets tomorrow so that it wouldn't prolong anything. 

DH had suggested that we go walking today as we both needed to get out, so we set off to head up towards Kendal. We hadn't gone far, however, before DD rang to say she was really worried about Gadget and didn't want to be on her own. Luckily we hadn't gone far so we came off the motorway as soon as we could and headed home. 

I think Gadget was already more or less unconscious when we got home sadly.  We'd put him in DD's room and made him comfortable and then we stayed with him until his time came and he left us. One week on from losing Molly. 

It's been a difficult week. 

And then later on today we noticed that Aveline was starting to claw at her face, getting worse as the day went on. So a phone call to the vets and an emergency trip there, a sedation for Aveline, and the loss of a wobbly tooth! (And a recommendation to have two more removed). I'm losing count of the number of trips to the vets I'm having lately, but I think we're up to about 14 visits in 3 weeks so far. I wonder if I'm due a free visit soon?! 

R.I.P my dear Gadget .........
