He was born in Septermber 2001, one of 11 brothers and sisters. The pick of the litter.

At 6 weeks old he found his new home. His first time away from all his brothers and sisters, he got to express himself. Ears flopping while he chased and played.

Going on his 2 walks a day he covered over 10,000 km with his best friend, before he lost him.

He continued to get his walks, with me replacing the role of best friend. He was my buddy and I was his. There was nothing I wouldn't do for him.

Even while he was sick, he would still run. Still wee on everything. Still ignore you if he felt like it. Still leap to his feet when I entered the house. Made sure to tell you he loved you, in his own way.

Slowly age caught up with him, and just over 8 months after his best friend went, Tiger followed him past the veil.

I did my best to keep you around, I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I hope wherever you are, you're happy and smiling. Just as I'll always remember you.

I miss you, buddy.
