Thread: Out of time

After a quick tussle with throat cancer we laid our old boy to rest at the start of the week. Nugget was around 12 years old.
We took him on at one year old as an untrained rescue dog. A slight built Shepherd/Huntaway cross with no manners.
He spent six years at my side on the farm I ran, he learnt to work sheep for me, and he quickly became my shadow.
My lad and him grew up together and they were always the best of mates.

A change in career saw him retire and become the full time family pet.
Many 4wd trips, tramps and family outings were had together. No way he would have ever been left behind.
Nugget got a mate a couple of years back in the shape of a Mastiff/AM Bulldog cross. She kept him active at home and spent a lot of time with him recently, checking on him, cleaning him and even letting him lean on her when he was a bit shaky when walking.
She watched us bury Nugget and has been really lost these last few days as has the rest of the family.


Miss ya heaps mate.
