Carried my Beau into the house as a puppy, & was there holding him in my arms when the vet put him to sleep in our front room 11 years later, then carried him out of the house to the crematorium car.💔
Been 8 months of hurt & was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life!🌈
And just like that I have a 30 year old son in
@JjPitchley15
I've watched him play the sport we both love, all across the world over the years, so it's only right that I'm in an ice rink this evening, doing it again.
❤️ you kid!
🏴🇨🇦🏒 ENTP x QUEBEC
As England U13 head to the Pee Wee Tournoi, a couple of ENTP Quebec alumni send their best wishes to the squad heading over for this year's edition.
Our beautiful Beau crossed over the 🌈 bridge yesterday evening, peacefully in our home, surrounded by love & family 💔🥹 He lived a good life, & gave us his unconditional love over the 11 years we had him.
Sleep well my boy, until we meet again.....
And this is why I fought to get the England programme back at this tournament, after previous leadership teams pulled the plug on it... 🏴
Thank you

Love you Dad, Happy fathers day!❤️⚒️
And that's a 5 nil win for England U13s in their 1st exhibition game, out here in Quebec City.
Good to see boys one the ice after a tough couple of days travelling and acclimatising to a different country/timezone!
