My girl, she's almost 18 now and a day doesn't pass when I realize that she wont be with me forever. Everyday when I walk in that door, I look for her. I had her before I married, before I had children, before I moved to Arizona and after my divorce. She's been my side-kick now for so long.
When I define "me", she's a part of it. When she's gone, a part of me will be gone.
This morning, the boys were off to school. I had run some errands in the 108 degree heat and came home to fix something to eat. I felt this little "nudge" on my leg, a cold little nose, she's done that for years and years. I'm not sure what it means, I think it's a sign of affection, a little touch that says "it's
you and me!"
The day will come when I will no longer feel that little nudge, and all the money in the world, and all the wishing I could do and tears I could cry won't bring it back... it's priceless.

This is the sweetest picture... She looks so peaceful and content.
Nice... We have a 15 year old chihuaha who is blind, deaf & mute. Lovable, sweet, dependent (quiet :)
It's interesting how much loyaly and compassion our pets pull from us.
Thanks, she's a sweethart for sure. And Gary, she's also part chihuaha!
Maybe the sweetest picture I have every seen. Oh, and the cold nose...sniff. Please give her a big soft hug for us! Blackie, Tanner & Miss S =^..^=
I gathered a puppy of the street eleven years ago. Now it is one pretty granny that has accompanied me all these years.
Your history remembered to me much of my dog "Pinky" because she look similar. You must have a great heart.
Thanks to visit my blog, I have seen your watercolors and are really beautiful.
I´m sorry for my poor english language, I must practice more...
Thank you for visiting my watercolor gallery! I noticed that you have been reading a lot! Perhaps you could list and recommend few good books for me. I saw few books on Amazon and thinking about buying books on "transparent watercolor".. I don't remember the author :-)
Thanks

I just "started" painting again last July and will be posting more new works soon!
I understand completely.
My best wishes to you and "your girl"
Good idea Wizen, I'll post some books that I think are a "must" those serious about Watercolor
When I've read the text,the picture wasn't appeared...Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. My Murphy is about 10 years now, and still acts like the biggest puppy. I guess the inevitable will happen one day and I hope that day is light years away. I wish that for you and your girl too. She's so adorable in the pix.
SHe is so Sweet :D
What a sweet doggie! 18 yrs old... AMAZING!
My beautiful husky turned 10 in October. Like you I think about and dread the inevitable day... she has been my loving companion thru thick and thin. Someday when she is gone I'll comfort myself by knowing we truly understood eachother and I gave her a loving home.
Awww, what a sweetie. I have a 10 yo standard poodle that I feel the same about. Unconditional love.
what a sweetheart! your post brought back memories of my collie and how sweet she was. I am glad to find your blog today.
I'm sorry to note that my beloved friend passed away a few days ago, May 25, 2006. She left with a huge part of my heart. What's left I'll keep her spirit alive in and wait for the day I see her again.
I love you Skeets,
Mama
