cold pint 330 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Comes a time when we have to make the regretable decision as to retire our old faithfulls. After a painfull spell of waiting, driving my self around the bend. My old bitch as now retired, she's been a reliable companion and put her fair share of fluff to bed. However a while ago she took a real bad knock, resulting in a knackered tendon in her back leg and her career coming to an end. Dont know who it hurts more her , or me to leave her behind? Any how as its a new year so onward and upward its time for my youngster to take the lead now and hopefully she can keep on as she's doing. Don't know if she will ever full the old girls boots but il give her my best shot in doing so. Happy new year folks have a good 2017.,,. Edited January 20, 2017 by cold pint 16 Quote Link to post

ginger beard 4,652 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 just make sure you explain to her that he's retired because they never get the memo. 1 Quote Link to post
cold pint 330 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Cheers Taffey, Fuji money couldn't buy the joy I've had with her. No super dog but she allways earnt her keep and kept me smiling. Looking back I may have asked to much of her at times but she never buckled and allways got the job done. As I say weather or not the youngster steps upto the mark who knows but I'm sure we will have some fun together. And that's what it's all about ? Happy new year buddy hope you and the dogs have a good one,,cp 9 Quote Link to post
