The Final Curtain Falls on a Man's Best Friend

 

A picture of health and dignity, only a few weeks ago

 

One day, a fluffy little ball of 'Coton de Tuléar' came into our lives and, without warning, a mutual and lasting bond had blossomed. Her name was Kitty.

 

She proved to be a natural model for my photos and, along with Max, helped me create my screen name, of which I am very proud. But above all, she gave me far more quality time and pleasure than I could ever have imagined. She was my best friend*.

 

Another chapter in our lives has come to a sudden end. She will be sorely missed by all of us and I, for one, will never, ever forget her or those, heart-melting eyes of hers that now bring tears to mine.

 

Farewell, my little friend ...

 * Max was also my best friend - I had two ... and now, I have none!

 

        If there's one thing I've learned from having dogs, it is this:

 

             The bond between 'them' and 'us' is unmistakable
