I posted this picture on FB last week.
A special picture from half my life time ago. Me and my boy, my best friend growing up who helped me achieve lots an today he was taken from me unexpectedly. Thie above picture was a centre spread in the H&H magazine from us being in the winning team at Weston park, and because he was so handsome, our pic got in the magazine. For my 21st I was given it on Canvas by my Mum and Dad but it got hung at their house and never left. Last week my Dad turned up with a copy of it on Canvas, completely unexpected as a surprise to cheer me up as things have been a bit all iver the place lately. It certainly did cheer me and has been hung and I have woken with a smile every morning at seeing my boy.
I don't get to see him as often as I used to and even though my Dad sees him and feed him everyday, Tizzy won't let my Dad catch him or get too near him. Still stretches his head out to take a carrot from him and yet even though he only sees me every few weeks at the most he still comes to me like my best buddy . He was the start of my love affair with slightly more challenging animals and taught me about patience and reading animals and what a close relationship with another being was all about. He taught me about love and trust. Teenage years weren't the most fun for me and I would spend hours with him. My mum on a oupoleof occasions came out to find me and him in the stable curled up asleeep in the small hours when we were supposed to be getting reading for shows.
He had been slower this last week and the vet was called to come out this morning. I went over to catch him and be there for the exmination as he doesn't trust strangers. When I brought him in and took off his rug, I ciouldn't believe the difference in 3 weeks. I knew straight away he was going today The amount of condition lost in the last month was unreal and he had swellings in v aious places. The vet came out literally minutes later and confirmed my thoughts. His heart was failing him. He was gone ten mintures later. The vet was great she asked me to move when he was lying down and injecting him but when I said I wanted him to see me, as he worried, she was great and understood. He was looking at me as he took his last breath. I sat with him for ages, really didn;t want tleave him as it meant I was never going to see again the boy I have loved and known for most of my life and who has given me so much. I love you Tizzles, I am so lucky to have known you and only wish he could know exactly what he gave me and how much he meant to me. The trust we had though was somethng special. In my heart forever mate, see you in my dreams.
This is me and him about 5 years ago when he was looking a little healthier.
Trying to steal polos
He loved wobbling his lower lip over my finger bless him!
