Got a text from my friend Rachel saying today would be her dog Mavis's last day...
So at lunchtime I went round with doughnuts (for R) and sausages (for M) - today is not a day for diets. 
Today is a day for celebrating life and preparing to do "the right thing," tomorrow.

I know her heart is breaking - but we both agreed we'd like that last day of dignity ourselves when the time comes.

This is the worst part of having a treasured pet.

I took some photos of the two of them (she's no doubt got hundreds of just Mavis) and thought this one summed-up the unconditional and unselfish love between them best.
