Once upon a time we had a golden retriever named Cobbie. He came into our lives when he was 3 months old. He was a good companion as well as a patience listener. We took him for a swim follow by an hour walk everyday in the country park in ShenZhen, China. We had lived happily for eight years and then my wife and I had to face the fact that we had to move back to Hong Kong to carry on with our living. It's a hard separation ; He knows it and we knows it. He lives in our heart forever and I try very hard not to cry every time I see his picture.
Good luck Cobbie and we love u.
