Gatsby the dog here, not well

For many of you who come to the clinic here, you may have noticed the large white fluffy Labradoodle called Gatsby.  Recently, although only 5 years old, he has been diagnosed with Lymphoma (a cancer, common in dogs, that spreads through the lymphatic system).

Hopefully he can start Chemo this week, and hopefully we can achieve a good remission.
He is not eating - and I have to feed him with a large sringe.  He still loves going out for drives and to the beach - but of course, he is steadily losing wieght and getting weaker.

In that intuitive way that animals can have, he seems to know that he may not have long to live - yet seems to live each moment very mindfully, and wants to live life to the full, and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, living each day, one moment at a time.  Animals can have a remarkable wisdom, and a far greater intelligence than we realise.
