Heartfelt
thanks
Saturday
night at the National Golden Bone Awards has to be amongst one
of the proudest and happiest I have had for such a long time.
Endal has worked so hard either looking after me or in his PR
role, his tail never stops wagging from sun rise to sun rise
(even in his sleep). For him to be recognised in respect of
the award is amazing, you've made his partner the proudest "Dog
owner alive".
Having lost so many memories that most people take for granted,
the children's first steps, their first day at school... getting
married... the things that truly matter. To experience the pride
that I felt Saturday night is a very close second to those lost
memories and one that I will treasure dearly. Thank you all
for giving me that opportunity to reach emotions lost.
Please pass on my thanks to all the crew that made the evening
possible and such a success. I have attended some similar events
but none which seemed to remain truly focused on the aim, recognising
the work of the dogs and people who give their all in the canine
field. The emotion of the day hit home in the early hours of
Sunday morning when privately the tears flowed. It seemed so
far from the days in day care, so many miles Endal had pulled
from me that hell I was then stuck in.
While we stayed in Manchester for the four days Endal and I
were just so "Enabled" by the Northern folk, be it
the hotel staff, the organisers, the guests on the night or
just people we met while out and about. If we needed help it
was so freely given, nothing was too much of a problem and many
new friends were made.
When we thundered down that runway Sunday we really didn't need
an aircraft to fly that high. Endal put his head on my lap and
it dawned on me just how much he has helped me achieve in life.
If Sandra and I do eventually re-marry, my best man will have
four legs and a really waggy tail.
Thank you for all you and your team do to enable people like
me and dogs like Endal through your work.
Yours etc.
Allen and Endal
