Well, I'm really chuffed for Heath winning the GG but I just wish so badly he was still here to accept the awards himself and to see how well the TDK did and how his performance blew us all away. Also, massive respect to Chris Nolan who is doing a great and very dignified job on behalf of Heath. Never forget you Heath xxxx ------------------------------
"Hey Ennis, you ok?"
"Hey Jack, whatcha doing?"
"Just come up from a dive and saw I had a missed call from you...?"
"Oh yes, well I wanted to share some good news I got with you."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, well you know I've been doing some stuff on less stressful treatment of canine bone and joint disorders and wound healing?"
"Mmmm?"
"Well, my work got published in a really respected journal I found out today."
"Cool."
"And it's going to go in a book too."
"Double cool."
"And they're going to name the procedure after me, 'The Del Mar dressing', you know like Boyle's Law or the Heimlich Manoeuvre."
"No way!"
"OK, I made that last bit up! Not yet they're not. But you never know, when the whole world catches on to my genius......"
"Oh Ennis that's fantastic. Brilliant. Congratulations! I'm so proud of you, well done."
"Thanks Little Otter."
"Mind you, I'm proud of you every day you realise that don't you Ennis? Everyday you do amazing work, save the animals and make the people happy. But today we are all extra special really REALLY proud of you."
"We?"
"Yeah. Me. And Brazos-he's here. Brazos-say well done to Ennis."
"Woof!"
"See Brazos loves you to. And from my boat I can see two manatees, and yes, wait for it, they're bobbing to the surface now too to show their appreciation as well! I'd join the standing ovation but I might tip the boat!"
"No no don't do that! Well thank you Brazos, manatees and Jack. Have to say I'm chuffed. Does kind of make it all extra worthwhile. I mean I love my job, I'd do it anyway, but when you know your peers appreciate you too...well it's pretty satisfying."
"No one deserves it more than you. I#m s happy for you. Gonna spoil you rotten tonight."
"Ooo, I'll look forward to that. Guess I better go."
"Ok, bye. Love you Ennis. Proud of you. Always always proud of you." |
