Good pooch, him. All good dogs go to heaven, good memories are all we are left with in the end.

Dam.....sorry Lad......

Thanks Unc. Odd around here this morning.....the usual rituals not being adhered to...

The sun was setting on the red dog...

Loss of a family member causes many of our usual rituals to get delayed or cancelled. Things will return to more normal with time passed but will never return to exactly the same when a member is no longer there. Our thoughts are with you and the Missus.

Beautiful picture Robin!
Thing is, I don`t think they know or dwell on their impending death, they try their best to live each day as it it were their last. After raising and owning more than a dozen dogs that stayed with me for their natural life I can`t say the spent much time pining, they were up and at it til the end.

Yep that was from an earlier time....He had a darn good run.....healthy until this....g'boy he was...

On a happier note the Costa Rican dog seems to be much better....thought we were going to lose them both to different illnesses for awhile there....damn mid winta blues....

Hope the two remaining will have many more happy years with you, many more memories yet to be made.

Yeah....they're a little puzzled this morning.....they know things ain't right .....be a while for us all until things "normal" out.....his sister's been with him since day one...literally....

Other dogs will miss him, may spend some time searching and be off in many ways, only time will allow things to normal out. One thing I always found a thread of solace in was that they had a good life with me, no ill treatment, good home and good food plus a loving environment, could have been a much worse experience for them other places. When it came their time they didn`t have to suffer, made it easy as possible for them, not having to lay about suffering to the end.

Not one thing yet to rattle off them saws .

Had a good road trip down around MDI Yesterday. Used to go down there a lot through the summers when we spent more time on the bike. Nice riding, nice roads but the last few yr it has become very crowded in the summer.....just to much traffic. But in the winter the sidewalks are rolled up and Bar Harbor is nearly a ghost town. The girl dogs had a good time we got out and walked some paths/trails in a couple different places in the park (ANP).......it was warm, 48 'Merican but blowing hard, the waves were crashing and the bell buoy off Schooner Head was clanging like mad!!! Had pick places to walk that were in the lee mostly.
