Today we had to sadly farewell our lovely Maltese, Tess after over 16 years, and keeping us company on the road for the last five years.
Only six months into our travels in 2014 we lost her best friend Lolli (who was a year older), and Tess has been our faithful companion ever since.
Tess was remarkably well until 2016 and the age of 14, but after losing an eye and shortly after damaging a cruciate ligament we discovered she had Cushings Disease. Because of the Cushings she couldn’t have surgery for the cruciate and subsequently the other one went in 2017. Finally she was reaching the point where she was having difficulty standing and walking and had no quality of life left, doing nothing but sleep with a declining appetite and other worsening issues,
The following images tell more of the story –
Farewell Tess and Thank You!
