Bessie

My beloved Bessie, came from a farm on Exmoor as a puppy and lived with me until she was 16 and a half years old, Bessie died on 27th May 2011.

This is what feeding time looked like after our walk :( <br />
All food is now hand fed, little pieces either placed in front of her or in my open hand. She doesn't want anything now.Each day she eats less and less. It's really hard not to try and force feed her, but that would be so cruel. <br />
It's as though her brain isn't getting any messages about eating being necessary to survive - or maybe it is, and this is her way of bringing her life slowly to an end while still enjoying what she can. At the moment she is in complete control.
