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.
