My daughter still misses her Black Lab, Hershey. He's cremated and on the shelf in her office. If I had to choose a lab, it would be hard. Black, chocolate, white, or tan. They're great, loyal dogs.
Dude, you don’t look like a giant in your pic. I’m 5’8” so to me you are a giant. I have two younger cousins that tall. They don’t fit in some cars and bump their heads a lot. Great guys though.
I was struck by the idea that dogs don’t remember our successes or failures, only who was there. Maybe many of the things we consider important fade with time, while those walks, silences, and small acts of attention remain, even if they once seemed ordinary.
This was a sweet and tender read. I’ve never been much of a dog or cat person, well honestly I’d choose dog over cat, but that’s just me. I appreciated though how you took the time and moment to write it out, relating the life of an animal to presence. That was lovely and made me smile. I’ve always felt like dogs could sense the “quality” of a person and what you shared resonated with that. And it’s not just an animal, but something you care about, another kind of life. I love seeing the way we as humans interact with life that’s around us—that includes the dogs too 🫶🏽🐶

Yes! I love that line “many of the things we consider important fade with time”

Awww I’m glad it made you smile! Yes I totally agree. Dogs can definitely sense the quality of a person.
Thanks for checking it out! I appreciate it!
Great work and a beautiful dog.
