After being allowed out and enjoying being out on the grass it has been decided to hold on to him a while longer. He was more attentive to his surroundings than at any time I have seen him over the past few weeks. He is being kept on the painkillers, but we have had our first conversations in quite a while.Marshlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275661546055657399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229246696323404049.post-26735638764420728062015-06-16T20:44:30.718+01:002015-06-16T20:44:30.718+01:00Oh, such sad news.

He has been on pain killers for weeks which, of course, bring their own problems. The vet is making a final visit tomorrow to help end Jack's pain and misery. The farmer's sister put him out in the paddock today, so he could spend his last day eating grass and enjoying the outdoors as much as possible. Everyone on the farm is talking in hushed voices. We are all very sad. Jack, it has been a real pleasure knowing you.Marshlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275661546055657399noreply@blogger.com
