Chilli
We're sitting in the sun and it's nearly 3 o'clock on April 27th. Two days ago Chilli was 10.
The vet is coming at 3. Chilli has cancer, she has a big tumour on her tail and we think it's spread to her left hind leg as she now has trouble walking. She really only wants to lie around now although she still looks lovely and healthy. She eats well and is still glossy.
This is a very hard thing to do and today I'm wondering if it's too soon. I do know though that if it's not today it will be in a few days as she is getting weaker and can't do the things she usually does.
She's a very cool dog, placid and calm and loving to us. Very focused on us and on what we're doing. She loves going out whether it's in the car or walking and she's been the best friend to both Jedd and me. A beautiful and dependent watchful eye at our house.
It's amazing that at the end of April it's still this hot and we're able to sit outside like this. It will be ok to say goodbye to her here in the sun and then take her down to the bottom of the garden and bury her. I just can't believe we have to do this though, I wish we didn't. Love you Chills.

Beautiful Mum, she was such a great dog with a wonderful personality (dogonality?). She will definitely be missed and I have so many good memories to hold on to.
