Vale Nat RTCH FTC Haigenhauf Golden One

Hi all

I received the email below from Pamela Tyrie this morning. My thoughts are with them.

Regards, Jason.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

It was a very sad day for us last Friday and certainly a black Friday as Malcolm had to make the hardest decision of his life to have the vet put Nick to sleep.

He had been getting more frail in his back legs for a while but still managed to get around OK and be his happy self. But over the last few weeks he became worse and finally the last week he was finding it very difficult to get up, could no longer stand to eat his dinner, and started to collapse when walking just a short distance.

For a man who does not show much emotion, Malcolm was and is devistated over his loss as we both are. We know that he is in a better place now in his little pine grotto on our property where the sun shines through on him and there is no more pain or discomfort.

We will miss our most wonderful friend.

If you could put something on the site for us we would appreciate it very much.

Regards

Pamela and Malcolm

Dear Mal and Pam,

We are so sad to hear this news, knowing how much Mal thought about his great mate Nick, we can appreciate how hard this decision was for him and how devastated you must both must be feeling. Just remember a great dog lives forever in the heart of his master.
Catch up with you soon
