It may be time for the end of the good Chief Inspector Murphy's watch

I has a great big Sad.

Not good news at the V-e-t this morning. Don't know how long he has, but this leg issue seems to have turned worse.

He can still walk and eat, for now. We will keep him alive every single day that it is even possible.

Hug your friends.

UPDATE: Murphy has two growths on his back. We will get them looked at.

of these. I always tell people to think of how you made it fun to be your dog. I hope it's that way for every pet.

I have loved seeing your posts about Inspector Murphy.

We had to help our fourteen and a half year old dog over the bridge before Thanksgiving. Our sixteen year old cat went before that.

They are family. Their loss is heartbreaking.

One of the happiest dogs I ever knew, who lived to the ripe age of 17, was a 3-legged mixed breed who'd had an amputation after a car accident.

If it's even a possibility...

sadly,
Bright

Fingers crossed.

I am not sure he could take the anesthesia. He’s 8.

Thanks.

I did not know he was ill.
I send all my best wishes for a recovery.
As long as the fur babies eat and are comfortable we have hope.

I am sorry for this turn of events.
He is so cute.....
