In between appointments today I managed to take Smokey for a trip to my favourite part of beach. The place was clear other than us, and those twenty minutes are minutes I will never forget.
He'd clearly never been before, and as you can see from that last picture, he wasn't 100% sure of the waves. He seemed to enjoy it, once again his determination to walk on the sand is testament to how brave this wonderful big boy is. Today brought back memories of Dudley, but also provided me with amazing new ones of an equally brave soldier.
Worn out and back in the Landrover ready for Parents Evening, "I think I'll just stay in here Dad."
These next few photos I tried to take myself. Now isn't the time to tell Smokey's life story before SHAK, we have to value the time we have left, but some people out there will be amazed to see him showing affection like this. I just feel like the luckiest man in the world to be receiving the love. I know my time with his is running short, the grains of sand are pouring through the egg timer for perhaps the last time, but pictures like these will keep him with me forever.....
