    This picture makes me smile and laugh… and shed a few tears in remembrance of the good girls my family has had over the years.

    Dogs are so magnificent.

      I hope hope the pic brought back some good memories. You’re right, dogs are wonderful. She’s getting older (10 this past August) and I really want to enjoy the time we have with her. Their lives are far too short.

        It brought back many, many good memories, so thank you for that :)

        When I was a kid we had a lab and a flat coated retriever. The house was usually empty, except for the dogs, when I got home from school. Being greeted by those two charmers, who were always inconceivably happy to see me, could put a smile on any frowny day.

        They become proper, universally loved family members, and so it’s terribly sad they can’t be with us “forever”. Make every moment count. I suppose that’s true for most things in life.
