If you knew Abbey, she was very camera shy and almost never looks into the camera, except if there's food waving somewhere.

On this day, she looked like she was giving up, too weak to even turn away from the camera.

She had already lost the bright eyes she once had.

Got her spirits up a little bit after giving some of her favourite bread.. Her mood didn't last too long sadly..

Parked outside the clinic waiting for the nurse to see us. Hanging out a little more on the truck.

Abbey was really tired at this point, drifting in and out of sleep.

Mum comforting Abbey one last time. Abbey looked peaceful and relaxed, I'm glad we were all with her.

The doctor was preparing the necessary equipment for Abbey. We had to wait at the reception while that happened.

8 or 9 years ago, I remember sitting on that same bench waiting for Abbey as she delivered puppies! It was so exciting.

Life is quite morbid, celebrating different aspects of life in the same place.

I put my camera away as soon as the doctor was ready for the procedure, continued documenting only after everything was over.

I don't know how everyone feels about the idea of euthanasia.

I did come to terms that it was best for the dog, but I still feel like a murderer.

Abbey was here 1 minute and gone the next, but she never looked this rested in a long time.

This is the final photo from my documentation of Abbey's final hours.

Farewell Abbey, the house is very quiet without you. You are missed.
