To My Best Companion In K9

Just received news of his departure this morning...

To My Best Companion In K9

Thank you for being there through my 20 long months as a dog handler - right from the very start. 
  

I can still vividly remembered the initial frustration when I first got you.

Haha. 
  

Since then, we've grown from enemies to friends, and created so much memories together.




...

 Hundreds of hours of sentry through the long silent nights.

Hundreds of miles covered on foot, striding together side by side.

All the times spent running and training together.

And the times when I would pop by just to tell you random rubbish. 

In the 20 months, I've definitely spent more time with you than any single living entity in K9.

...

 Thank you for being so obedient.

 And for keeping your kennel so clean.


I dare say you have the supreme ultimate cleanest kennel in ALL of K9 - no contest.

And sentries with you were always much easier - No barking, no charging, no random diarrhea, no nonsense. 


(Prowling is tougher, but then no one is perfect, right :P)

Truly, life would have been much tougher if I didn't get you.

...

You've lived to a ripe old age and passed away peacefully.

Please be friendly when you meet Ato up there. ^_^

And may you have lots of tennis balls to play with.

Finally, if there's such thing called reincarnation, don't go into the military again.

HAHA.

You will be missed.
