Thank you so much for all your kind words.

I am crying as i write this as i have made the very difficult decision to let Lennox go with dignity.

I spent the whole night with him last night, and this morning things are no better. He keeps trying to come to me, and the sadness and despair in his eyes when he can't do it , is just unbearable. He can't even lie down comfortably cos his legs won't go where he wants them to ... they collapse from under him , and his cries are like a knife thru my heart.

I hope that i at least managed to give him all the love and affection that he deserved in the short time I was able to have him. I feel privileged to have been a part of his life, be it only briefly.

I am taking him to the vets at 5 today,once my children have said their goodbyes.

Lennox , my big brave boy , I will always hold you dear in my heart .... I only wish I had found you sooner. Goodnight my darling.
