Little Tommy Tucker

On a morning dark and dismal
A cardboard box was found
At the gates of the rescue centre
And it held but not a sound

---------

The box was opened with caution
The contents were not known
It took a while to realise
What it was they had found

--------

He was quite dirty and smelly
And looked an awful mess
But after a bath they realised
Just who he was at best!

--------

He was Tommy Tucker - a sheltie
And poor little soul was blind
He did have the waggyist tail though
He was such a good find!

--------

He came to stay with us
In the twilight of his years
He gave us oh so much of his love
And was so loyal until the end!

--------

R.I.P. Our Little Tommy - 1998.

Hi Cath,

It sounds to me like someone knew Tommy would be well looked after if he was left with you, and they were right.

Adele.

What a sad tale Cath,glad he found you for his final years.

Thanks everyone. He was a little cutie at least he gave us 2/3 years of enjoying him.

Lovely Cath, so glad you were able to give him a loving home.
