{Still With Us}
Bradley a tricolour Border Collie
(named after an S club 7 member…of course).
He came to us 6 weeks ago after quite a search and
is everything a doggy lover could wish for a soft coat,
floppy ears that new puppy smell and oh!
those gorgeous eyes!!!
Brad is now 15 weeks old and into everything
mostly everything in Mel’s room
(when he can get in) much to her annoyance.
We haven’t got a pencil between us and
all the pens have their tops chewed right off and
shoes are never where you left them
“BRADLEY!!!…”
Before Brad we had Luke and
he was with me for nearly 14 yrs and ALL of Mel’s life.
Last December he died and we were devastated.
I lost my most faithful friend and Mel lost her best buddy.
Luke was her dog in later years and never left her side and
as she would tell you he was the best finder in Hide and Seek
(even if he sometimes looked in the same place twice!).
Every morning he woke her up and every night
he lie by her bed until she was asleep and
everyday he ran to greet her from school.
He meant so much to both of us and
we never dreamed we’d be without him.
So after a few months without Luke we decided
we needed to fill that void and
started to search and along came Brad.
Mel has put a photo of Luke in her room and it is still him
that watches over her at night and
she still cries and says “why mum why?”
when she needs him.
It’s not quite the same with Bradley yet he is not so kind
when he wakes her up
he steals her toys and plays too rough…
but last night I heard her teaching him
how to play Hide and Seek!
