Black Dog Sunday

Our Black Dog never missed a chance to have fun. He loved romping in the snow more than anything. Each time that I called him to me, he sprinted as if running to me was a new and amazing adventure. He must have run over this saddle a million times in his life - but he ran with the same verve in the last year of his life as in the first year.

He was such a hopeful and happy dog. I miss my "conversations with R" - because his irrepressible attitude would put a wide smile on my face. He is looking at me quizzically in the next photo, perhaps wondering what was next or what kind of treat I was about to give him.

I miss him, and I still talk to him in my head as I ride my bike. I've been stopping by the Lone Ponderosa almost daily to think about him and remember all of his antics. He is one of those spirits that will stay with me forever.

Happy Black Dog Sunday. Please find a way to smile today in memory of our Black Dog.

  1. I am smiling now to see the two of them looking into the camera always makes me smile and are running over the snow makes me smile also. And again another smile because I talked to both like you talked to our he is like a person and he looks me in the face and he cocks his head and he listens carefully to what I'm saying and the majority of the time I know that he's understanding
