Unhappy RIP Thunder

One of my Aunt & Uncle's 3 N.S. Duck Tollers died today He was hit and killed by a delivery truck in their driveway. His name was Thunder and he was just 7 years old!

His endless energy, big beautiful smile and silly personality will not be forgotten. My fondest memory of him was when he picked up a stuffed toy that was a giant pair of lips and carried them around the house running into everybody like he was kissing them! haha

Although they live 4 provinces away from me, after I spent a summer living with them in college, Thunder has been one of my most favourite dogs that I've ever met. Actually, a lot of his personality and even some of his looks remind me of Molson!

RIP Thunder, I know you will be missed, beautiful boy!!


Some photos I took of him in 2003 when he was still a puppy.
