Tommy's dog trainer, Pam, lost her battle with cancer on 16-05-11.
She was a lovely lady - firm but fair. She filled me with enough confidence to believe that I can train Tommy to do anything I wish.
It was her funeral today. She requested that 'her dogs' were there. We were. Over 55 handlers turned up - some had left their dogs at home, but there were still over 30 dogs there. We lined the crematorium road where the horse drawn carriage came in. Some of the handlers didn't stay for the service. For those that did, there was someone in the carpark to keep an eye on the dogs, so we left windows and boots open on the cars so we could celebrate Pam's life. Her funeral song was 'Easy Like Sunday Morning'...
Her trip to Rainbow Bridge will be welcomed by all the dogs that went before her - she will wait there for the rest.
I will miss her.
Rest In Peace, Pam.
