I got some bad news today from an old workplace where I worked with all kinds of dogs but one stood out amongst the rest he was living at the kennels for nearly 5 years before I started as no one wanted him, I worked there for just under 3 years and made a strong bond with this dog... his name was tom and was the friendliest border collie i have ever met he was like my own every second I got I was playing and looking after him but then came the cut backs and i had to leave but i would still go up and be with him, I'm just happy that i gave him the best 3 years I could have as nobody else cared for him much.

he died a few weeks ago aged 16-1/2 I was only told today I just with I could have gone up to see him before he died but with him being at the kennels it was over 3 hours away and couldn't afford to go see him I just wish I had seen him one last time to say goodbye, I know now that he is at rest and no longer hurting as he was old and I could see the changes in him.

R.I.P Tom im going to miss you
