In October 2013 my dream came true of owning a dog of my own. I had had a dog as a child but work commitments made that impossible for many years as an adult. It just would not have been fair on the dog. And then my work circumstances changed and a beautiful 11 week old Black Labrador (with very large paws) came into my husband’s and my life and changed our world forever…and for the better. As he grew (and he certainly did that) he turned into the best companion anyone could ask for.
Admittedly, like most Labradors food was his driver and many a walk involved pulling him away from bins and discarded food packages but his nature was nothing but love. Bless him I spent most of his life (from six months old onwards) treating a skin condition that required injections, creams, sprays, tablets almost every day.
He grew tall until he was German Shepherd size and weighed 50 kilos but we trained him well so that he was able to walk off lead and was gentle with children. He never experienced kennels, most holidays he came with us and, if not, he stayed with family and friends and we would return the favour. After a very short illness, we lost him in June 2024 and the home and our routine were not the same.
