He was a good dog

He was a good dog and tonight he left us, in peace and pain free at last.  The dog's name was Magwah.   His master was Kelly.  Magwah was a friend to everyone.  He was a Border Collie, that special breed of canine known around the world as a working dog that herds not only sheep but anything that moved, including people.

Magwah died tonight.  The "nation within the nation" lost one its' own.  All the people who came to know and love Magwah lost a special companion.  Many tears will be shed over the loss of such a fine dog.  Time will pass to heal the sadness we all feel tonight.  Yes, he was a good dog and he will be missed, but not forgotten.

This is the last photo I took with Magwah in the frame.  This photo was taken on my iPhone on Christmas day at South Beach at Point Roberts, just before we departed on our trip to Arizona.  Typically he is the centre of attention and has everyone right where he wants them, surrounding him with love.  Yes, he was a good dog....
