I found an old roll of film in my camera bag from a little over a year ago. This photo of Kona curled up on our bed, made me remember how much he loved to curl up there on a winter morning. It also made me realize my old camera (Nikkormat FTN) needs a tune up but I kind of like its flaws. It is 40 years old and still going strong…
I love what Ben said, and also what you said (the space they leave never goes away but the pain slowly fades over time). We are thinking of you still, knowing that during the fading something often triggers a pang as if it happened yesterday, and the hurt is fresh again. This photo of Kona is lovely; snoozing ball of fluff in happy dreamland. We savor those sweetest times. ~ Jeanne
Thanks Jeanne.
Looks like a ball of white fluff! Im wishing you find more surprises.
Thanks Janelle.
Since that is a favourite position for Khyra, I’m smiling along with you!
Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks Khyra & mom.
What a wonderful surprise :)
It was:)
My guess is that you remember the exact moment that photo was taken. Bittersweet, but such a joy to find.
Hope your days are becoming less cloudy.
xo
I do:) Thanks Cowgirl.
What a wonderful surprise that must have been to have found that treasure. Two Christmas’ ago my husband presented me with a video of our past 25 years together. There was a one minute clip in there of the day when we brought our Cookie (my beloved heartdog) home the first day as a puppy. In the video you can hear us discuss what we should name her. I did not even know that video existed……and it is the only image we have of her as a puppy. Watching that video I was overwhelmed with emotion….I was crying so hard I couldn’t breath. It is the most treasured gift I ever received.
That’s a wonderful stroy Deborah. I love finding those little forgotten moments.
I love it how big dogs can curl up in small balls! I don’t know about you, but whenever I see my dogs curled up I can’t help myself and have to go over and hug them. Beautiful photo of Kona!!
Thanks Elizabeth. They do liik very cute all curled up like that don’t they.
So sweet, a true treasure.
Thanks Terri.
Must be nice to have found more photos of Kona….
It was a pleasant surprise:)
Happy and at peace … The only way we see Kona in our minds eye.
It’s not the minutes, the hours, the days or the years we spend with our dogs – it’s the imprint they leave on our hearts that count.
Very true…Kona left a big pawprint on our hearts.
thanx for dropping by our blog.
i’m finding it very hard to cope and my life hasn’t really since moved on an inch…
but i’m working hard now, collating BamBam’s pictures and putting them into a montage so I can frame them up, together with his collar…
i miss BamBam so much that no words can express; and i am sure, you feel the same towards Kona.
I know exactly how you feel but hang in there. The space they leave never goes away but the pain of their absence slowly does. All our best to you during this difficult time.
