When a good friend suddenly becomes ill

You do not expect it.  You work and the days go past. For 12 long years we’ve fought together, fighting for so many lives, each in his own way, but always together. In daily conversation about what is good or what could e done better, about which dogs are a concern to us and how to tie the ends together. When I want to save too many dogs, Ton is the one who will whistle me back, yes we can save them but we need to save them financially too. That is the issue.

When he suddenly became ill last week I did not know what happened, it was such a heavy blow. This could not be that strong man who always defied everything, inside a soft good man, honest and sincere, and committed to our dogs, nothing was too much for him, nothing was too heavy, but now …  he must take a step back, to recover and then he will be back.

We hope, as we want it so badly, dear Ton, we wish you the strength of our entire team, of all of us, of all our dogs … Know that we are behind you. And we want to give you the time to feel and be better. Together we are strong, in good and bad times.
