Jonty Goodfellow came to live with us, rescued from the local animal welfare shelter. I was dead against it at the time. Too old at 3 years ( my son was 15, a puppy would be more appropriate) a history of being abused and a CORGI. Little did I know what a major impact he would have on our lives. He became my soul mate when Richard went off to university and I grew to love him dearly. He helped me through the empty nest syndrome and I always felt that he & I were able to communicate with each other. He didn't prove to be too old or have bad habits and he had a sunny beautiful nature. He played soccer with Richard but only after 5 in the afternoon. He adored hot toast but only at breakfast time & if given by my husband. He loved ducks and would swim happily with them in a dam on my neighbour's property & he insisted on everyone being in bed by 10.00 every evening. His was the alarm that got everyone up for school as he h-00-roohed every morning down the passage. His name was a combination of Jonty Rhodes, a cricketer who had legendary skill in catching a ball & goodfellow because he liked to go walkabout down the road. After 13 years with us he died of kidney failure on Valentine's Day. The whole family mourned him and although life went on it was never quite the same without him. He is in our hearts forever.
