I am guessing from what you say that George is working toward accepting the inevitable and perhaps doesn't want to prolong things. Very hard on us, moreso than on him.
Please make sure that he gets referred to a Palliative Care team, at least for a consultation.
Even if the end (gulp!) is not immediate, they provide the most wonderful of services, comfort measures centered on his wishes, when and how, to insure that he is comfortable now and onward into the last phase. Don't wait. Consulting PC doesn't mean giving up.
Tell George that our bodies may fail us, but we can still be persons of purpose and importance to those who love us.
ITA, and many many prayers to you Sheltie. HUGS and Luv
