We adopted Floyd aged 6 in 2015. He'd had a troubled start, in and out of rescue many times and we wanted to offer him his forever home,
It certainly was a challenge to begin with and we had to learn fast how to best manage him.
He was at his happiest being out with Simon, walking in the mountains and amazed us with his drive and strength. We would say he was as tough as old boots!
Over the years he softened and showed us his more vulnerable side as he would insist on a cuddle and lie on your lap (all 22kg of him!) in the evenings.
Mark helped us take good care of him as he grew older and his body began to fail and eventually we came to the day when the the kindest act was to let him go. The hardest decision we had to make and thank you to Mark for his guidance and for taking care of all of us on that day.
Run fast and free over those hills our darling boy, a force of nature we'll never forget.
Floyd March 2009 - December 2023
