Izzy at the vet.

I want to share with you the news that Izzy is ill, being tested at the Cambridge Valley Veterinary Clinic to confirm what we believe is a life-threatening illness. I very much appreciate that Izzy, like Rose and my other dogs, does not belong only to me, but I am going to focus on this privately for the next couple of days until it’s resolved. I just can’t write about it much at the moment, and I don’t want to do a blow-by-blow drama. Sometimes, even in this contemporary and very high-tech world, you just have to turn inward. Maria and I are very much in this together, as in all things. I will let you know when things are clearer. I’ll be posting on the blog as usual, but not about Izzy. I know many of you love him and wish him well. Thanks for that.

Izzy, a hospice therapy dog,  is an angel in a canine body. He has done a lot of good for so many people at the edge of life, and if it comes to that, I will be sure and do the same for him.
