Ted: Happy Ever After
Ted: Happy Ever After: My Final Journey with Gone Fishing by Ted the Dog
'Whether you have two legs or four, life is never long enough, and it speeds up towards the end. When you reach that final stop sign, you want to know you took the meatiest chunk you could out of this world. Taste everything - regret nothing.' BE MORE TED
'Dogs live far more "in the day" than people. Each new day is an new joy to us, a fresh beginning, full of hope and promise. Even, or especially, as we get older, we need to seize every opportunity that comes our way. We have earnt the right to be respected senior citizens - or top dogs.
I had no intention of fading away quietly once my time was up on the riverbanks, so I set about exploring new ways to find my happy ever after. I knew there was more to life than lounging in bed all day - as attractive as that sounds - and I wanted to make sure I had rinsed every drop of life the world has to offer and licked the metaphorical bowl clean!
Take it from me - it sucks when you have to let go.'
In this Ted's final tale, he explores various roles for his impending retirement, in public service, the military and the voluntary sector, finding some more suitable than others. He also makes one final and rather starting discovery about his precious briefcase.
Ted didn't quite get to enjoy his retirement, so honour his legacy and make sure you find your own happy ever after.
