Thank you everyone for your very kind replies and messages to my retirement tweet . I’m overwhelmed by your kindness. Please bear with me as I’m away on a bit of a break…. But I will reply to every single comment. Feeling humbled, thank you 🙏🏻

RPD’s Stark & Mickey having a nice cool off in the stream during their walk today with pets Roxie & Sully

5 months ago Stark exploded a disc in his back which damaged his spinal cord, leaving him unable to walk and barely able to stand. This ended his Police career & I wasn’t sure what his long term quality of life would be. Now he enjoys his walks and can even jump into the truck!!

If you can spare 2 minutes please vote for NFRSA. Thank you

Had a lovely visit from Starks puppy walker J R Hartley this morning. He was so excited to see her again. He never forgets Tracey and it’s lovely to see them together. 🐾🐾

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

If you’re in a position to donate to assist this dog that would be massively appreciated by her owner. Retired police dogs can’t realistically be insured so all costs come down to the owner and charities. 🐾🐾

Tongue out Tuesday…. 👅 👅 🐾

A huge thank you to NFRSA for their very generous grant in assisting Stark with his much needed steroid injections yesterday. The great news is they already seem to be having an effect and he’s doing really well today now the sedation has worn off. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐾
