Company Dog Departs

Mourning becomes us not

Much lamentation and grief at HQ and beyond (she had friends from all over the world) as last month the dearly beloved Company Dog, Fire, made a dignified and quiet exit after  about 15 years of loyal service to the firm.

One of "the great dogs" (see Dean Spanley), the Proprietor in particular is gutted.

Faithful, friendly, and fun. The best of company.

Mind you – like any good dog – she had her faults ... she could drop the worst of farts in a car, and then with a withering look, imply it was you what done it.

She now lies under the orchard and the cherry blossom. A bottle of our best pinot was shared over her grave.

Rest in peace old dog, and may you catch all the rrrraaabbbittsss you want wherever it is you’ve gone.
