Re: So long dear friend
Thanks everyone, it may not sound like much but your words do mean something.
My Dad's really beating himself up over what has happened, blaming himself for not putting Monty on the lead earlier but what happened happened, I've tried to tell him it's not his fault though any situation people do think back and wish they'd done things a different way. I think for him it has hit him the most but we all knew what Monty was like, young and wanting to explore everywhere whilst chasing anything or anyone.
We've lost dogs before but they'd lived longer and unfortunately we had to have them put down which was always upsetting for my Dad as he'd been the one taking them to the vets.
I'm glad of one thing, being here when it happened, if I'd been at work I don't think I'd have been in a stable state of mind to be dealing with customers, I have a short fuse at the best of times and I would've been worse if there.
Monty, although he had a short life he had a good life, we all loved him, we all enjoyed his company, hell, last night he was sat on the sofa with me trying to grab my hand with his front paws and nibble on it playfully. He's going to be missed, even our cat Ozzy has noticed and is sad but, Monty will forever be remembered by us all.
Now, excuse me, rambling.... On the Vodka
