Tough day for the Kiwi. . .

[Kiwi Rider]

It was a tough day for me today, seeing as you guys are my extended family I thought I’d share a little personal stuff that I’ve had to deal with….
My old and close friend Jack (known him 46 years) passed away a week ago and today was his funeral, he was buried at a local lawn cemetery and I was one of the pall bearers, but it was really a celebration of his life and achievements (family related) and the fact that he’s free of the pain and frustrations of this world… and the freedom he has now.
Then, this afternoon at 4pm I had my old dog Loui, 18 years, had him from a pup, euthanised at the local vet. Very sad, he was dimented and withdrawn, blind and very wobbly, and had no control over his bowels and bladder poor old boy.
He’s at peace and frolicking in the fields in doggie heaven now.
Boy, what a day. . . Glad it’s done and dusted.

Sorry for your loss Greg,

It's never an easy day losing two of your friends....hopefully they are both together playing fetch or something.

Makes us remember how fragile and precious life is and really puts things into perspective sometimes.....

Sorry to hear this brother, get those bikes out and get that therapy as that's about the only thing that helps me.

I am so sorry I have experienced both

A very tough day, Greg. Loss is always hard, but both of them are in a better place now.

I am also sorry for your losses. There are no words, but riding helps me in times like this. I hope you have someone who is there to listen.

My condolences to you on both losses, Greg. Glad you are doing some therapy riding around. Keep your head up man.
