Today our Winston passed away.

I've been remiss in not keeping up with his story.

He had a bad spell around Easter last year (2014)but pulled through after 3 weeks of tube feedings around the clock.The chronic anemia was diagnosed as Von Willibrands disease. He gained weight back and tho the hip dysplasia made it slow going, he did well through the summer & fall. His appetite came back, he spent hours in the yard playing with his cone and when snow came, he did his fair share of rolling in it. After Christmas he started going down hill. I'd vowed not to take him back to the vet. He remained pain free untill the last week, at which point I added back in Rimadyl. 

He passed away early this morning.

RIP my beloved Winston.
