On a recent snowy day at our old place, I stopped to gaze at this sign where the "back trail" heads into our land. I love the understated humor in it. It's even funnier if you knew our Black Dog, He was far too friendly to be a guard dog. We do plan to take it with us to guard over Lab Valley.
Shyla and I have done some short walks together since she came home from the hospital, out past our "Black Dog Guard Dog" sign and then to a spot that is bathed in warm sun at this time of year. I used to take her and R's photo there at this time of year. We paused to gaze at the spot, remembering her sweet big brother.
Shyla used to rely on R's support to stand tall and confident. Thanks to him, she now stands tall on her own.
Happy Black Dog Sunday.
Oh that picture of Black Dog and Shyla together is unbelievably wonderful and touching. And I too like the 'scary labrador' sign!

ReplyDeleteKB your gift with such beautiful words about your precious pack and your land make my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteI love the last sentence under the LabraDuo pic. Each being on earth has a purpose...R was a mentor, teacher and beloved friend to all. Very happy to hear Shyla is out and about where she shines literally and physically

We love that "guard dog" sign and love how funny that is in reference to R. We're glad to hear Shyla is feeling well enough for a walk. That's such a lovely picture of Shyla and R.

A great sign, good that you are taking it with you. And how I love your Black dog, I tear up every time I see his picture. He was special and could touch hearts.
ReplyDeleteI think R has been watching over her as well. So glad she is still improving. ♥
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking "Best Black Dog photo ever". Then the next Sunday comes along and...wow!
ReplyDeleteGlad Shyla's feeling well enough to go for a walk with you.

I miss that handsome face.
ReplyDeleteIF I saw that sign I'd be looking for the dog so I could fuss over them - if they wanted me to, of course, but most labs in my experience do.
