We have been thinking of you and...Dearest Bertie, <br /><br />We have been thinking of you and are only just reading your health updates. <br /><br />Like my late Riley, we know you have always been here for a good time! However, often humans hope we are here for both a good time and a very very very long time. <br /><br />As scientific adviser “What is a long time? Is it measured in happy moments OR years of average life existing day to day but not achieving or doing much?” <br /><br />From what we have seen on your blog, you have lived your life with great adventures and spirit. You are legendary Bertie! And now you have Gail, at your side (I am sure you planned her retirement for this time), catering to your every need and watching your every move, nap, leg lift and meals far too much. <br /><br />Being constantly watched can be strange, as if you followed Gail into the bathroom and watched her every movements she would have something to say, but the way she thinks is different to how you think. You are just doing what you need to do when you need to do it! <br /><br />Bertie, you live in the moment, enjoy food, treats, adventures, more food, walks and living in the moment, more food, pats and love and did we mention food... so we are wishing you many more good moments than bad this year (with lots of extra hugs from Gail) and that you and Gail both know you are surrounded with love from all around the blogging world. <br /><br />Sending you our love and hugs, <br /><br />F and Enzo (from New Zealand) The Life of Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042517508689233894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-39818309566181026602021-05-19T04:10:29.136+01:002021-05-19T04:10:29.136+01:00I am so sorry that the tumor is getting bigger.

The landscape is not dissimilar to your title picture. And I was thinking how much I enjoyed having my little dog with me and how sad I will be when he can't do so much... But then perhaps I will not be so able either.

I must say, you and Gail...Wonderful photos, Bertie! I must say, you and Gail look terrific early in the morning....not so, in our house! Just a comment on Gabapentin, which might ease Gail's mind (or at least provide another point of view). I have tried Gabapentin on two of my dogs. I rejected it immediately for the old borderish-colliesh, because it essentially knocked him out. Following that experience, I was prejudiced against using it, but did try it again recently (temporarily) on my 12-year-old cardigan, who had absolutely no adverse side effects and did not sleep more than usual. (Perhaps it was the collie in my borderish that was sensitive...). Feel better, my friend, Bertie.
