This is Rudie, one of my two dogs. He's about seven.
This picture was taken 3 years ago, in 2019 July.
Recently, he's had a growth on the back of his head that's progressively gotten bigger and bigger. Today, I found out that he was taken to the vet after his balance began to get unstable and that the growth has spread to the brain. There's nothing the vets can do.
He might make a full miracle recovery. Though, likely not.
He doesn't live with me; he lives with my mum and my sisters at their house. I'm going over there tomorrow, to spend time with him whilst he's still himself.
If you've got a pet at home, give them a hug and tell them how much you appreciate them.
