Esky, is lovely and cares so much for these dog. I loved seeing the photos that were put up of the peks. She has been a wealth of info and help over the years.

It must be heartbreaking for the gentleman involved

Yes, she is at the house. They are coming each day to feed her wash her eye and tend to the garden. This is a situation that cannot go on as they are aware and are seeking options for her. It is very time consuming as multiple people are taking large amounts of time to visit her. It isn't how she will live out her life but she is having visits of multiple hours at a time, she isn't just being fed and left. She is an inside dog and they have a roster system going. They just can't convince the elderly man that they actually have lives and can't continue spending their days at his house. Especially as they have their own dogs at home.

It can be very hard for elderly people to accept that their move into care is permanent. The house next door to us has been empty for nearly 3 years. The lady who lived there has gone into care, but refuses to accept that it's permanent, so the house sits there with her family visiting regularly to maintain the garden and occasionally stay for a night. They want to sell it by the old lady won't agree.

It sounds the same for this elderly man. Letting his dog go may make him feel like he's never going home and that's probably a huge thing for him to accept.
