Playing Tug with Luke
Indie was always so patient with Luke and this is demonstrated here with Indie asking Luke to play with him!

Indie last move ...
Indie had been to the vets before this was taken and probably had a tumour in his throat. We were going to wait until after Christmas for the vets to look again, as he clearly wasn't suffering. He had had a mild cough for months, but was well in himself so we hadn't worried.
On Christmas Day 2009 Indie wasn't himself and although he came for a walk with me in the morning he wasn't right and didn't want to go far. Being Christmas Day he was with us all day, lying among the presents and unwrapping as usual. By 5pm I knew he was dying as his tongue had gone black and he feet were cold. He wanted to get up but couldn't really. We helped him the best we could. Kept him hydrated and enjoyed our last day with him. Luke said goodnight and goodbye when Luke went off to bed. In the early hours of Boxing Day morning Indie made one more attempt to go outside, which he couldn't manage, so pooed himself (bless him). He then took 2 more breaths and died in my arms. We placed him in the boot of our car on his bed and covered with a blanket and the next day took his body to the vets to be cremated. His ashes are spread by the railway line in Harlington where we often walked him. |
This video is a few days before Christmas but after we had been to the vets ... he was his usual mad self always wanting to be part of the fun ... and could be totally trusted to play alongside Luke as always :-)
