Sir Friday's Thunder Storm CGC, TDI, NOB, NRD, NTR I, NAG I, CCCP, TT
Thunder is quite the talented boy! He is my constant companion and the bond between us is undeniable! He is the namesake for Thunder Vallies and serves his duties well. He works with me on a daily basis and is an incredible companion. He moves a little slower these days but, at 11, still competes in Tracking and Article Search and will continue to do so as long as he enjoys it. Thunder is also certified by Therapy Dogs International as a Therapy dog.
Thunder was recently (August '08) with cancer. This has taken an emotional toll on our family and his prognosis is not what we wanted to hear. He was given 12 months. We are hopeful that he will triumph and he is currently showing no signs. While he has slowed down in his old age, he still enjoys visiting with everyone and will still retrieve a tennis ball for long periods of time. Keep him in your prayers. While we know, at his age, he could go at any time, we want him to be as pain free and happy for as long as possible! |
