It was 4 years ago today that I lost my best friend, and although time does heal I still have sad moments. Odin was a Great Dane, he was only six weeks old when we got him and I remember bringing him home in a cardboard box. He settled in very quickly and it was as if he had been there all the time, he was a laid back dog even at a young age.

He gave us a lot of enjoyment and was always by my side, he had a calming influence over people and could tell if you wasn't feeling happy. You couldn't get annoyed with him as he was the ultimate gentle giant, he would come and rest his chin on the table and just look at you with soppy eyes. He was so easily pleased and never asked for anything, he would always wait for you to make the first move about going out for a walk.
I still haven't been able to get another dog, Mrs Fred would like another one but for me I just don't feel ready. The trouble is it has been four years now and I really should let go, it's not so bad as it was but here I am posting about him still after 4 years.
