A final farewell for our 13 year old Patterdale Terrier
Our Patterdale Terrier, Jeff has been unwell for 4 weeks and has been undergoing tests at Morley and Halton in Leeds, over that time, his condition has worsened to the point where he had lost a dangerous amount of weight and was losing muscle mass fast, he could barely hold himself up for more than a few minutes and could no longer go for a walk, even a short one. Natasha Richardson, our vet at Halton for the last few years has been brilliant. She was empathetic towards us, explained our options clearly, and we arrived at the decision to send Jeff off for an endless nap. The care Jeff, and we received was excellent and he went to sleep surrounded by his family, holding his paws and kissing him goodbye. Thank you Abbey House, and Natasha for your professionalism, your empathy, your care and for treating our best friend with the dignity he deserved. We'll continue to use Abbey House for our other dog for as long as he lives.
