Tears from my wife this afternoon. She had been watering the flowers and as usual had gone to fill his water bowl with the remains in the watering can.

A thousand times a day I put my hand down expecting to feel his nose in my palm.

So I thought I'd share a happier tail(Tale!)

Some years ago my wife was away looking after elderly parents and I'd because I had work i'd stayed home.
Anyway as it was a warm summers night and I'd left the patio doors open for the breeze and the dogs who were out enjoying the night air in the garden.
I'd taken the opportunitely of my wife being away to plug the x-box in to the widescreen t.v in the lounge to enjoy a game of DOOM 3 with the larger screen and surround sound speakers rather than the set up in the den I usually was banished to.
I don't know if you've played DOOM 3 but for it's time it had very good graphics and sound and swiftly I am complely absorbed in the game. Sat crossed legged in the middle of the lounge carpet as the lead to the controller wouldn't reach the sofa.

The game is about creeping down corridors waiting for monsters to leap out and attack you.

As I said I'm completely absorbed in the game....
When suddanly someone breathes down the back of my neck!

With a shout I leap to my feet and spin around to find stood him there with a big doggy smile looking at me as if to say "What?"

I miss you Tosh R.I.P
