Zil lost his battle with Liver disease and suspected lymphoma today at 2.38pm.
He died peacefully in my arms at home unassisted with the words of my love and G-d speed in his ear.
My house and my heart already miss his presence although i can feel his love and spirit always with me.

Thank you everyone here who supported us with prayers, thoughts and helpful advice whilst he fought an epic battle to get well again. Sadly in the past month and especially the last week it appears that lymphoma took the upper hand and took him in the end. It was quite quick...he was a little off his food last night, then this morning he wasn't himself and just before lunch he lay down in the hall and wouldn't get up. I made him very comfortable, gave him some tramadol and sat vigil with him waiting for the vet to arrive. He passed before she could get here. He went as all dobes should; snuggled under a duvet, head on a feather pillow and cuddled up with his 'mum'. He went with dignity and grace and all my love.

Run free my beautiful and beloved boy. You were one in a million.

Wrap Around hugs to you. He felt you were his safest place. And know now that he is at the bridge always waiting for you. I am so sorry. He fought so gallantly and you did tool. His memories will bring smiles to you. Tears too, but the smiles will come.

Lots of hugs for you Dianne. It was a long battle, and Zil had the most amazing mom to help him through every step (and poop) of the way. Niz sends his love and dobernubbins.

I am so very sorry for your heartache, for your loss. Zillah was as fortunate to have you as you were to have him.

It hurts to much to see them go but I know it's comforting to know he is at peace now. It sounds like he had a very gentle, dignified passing with the one he loved the most.
