almost goodbyes and so longs

a tattoo moment

my nineteen year old keeps me hopping..She is independent, moody,sweet natured and on the move

already mourning her departure in the fall

yet understanding how our roles have shifted

Another mourning..our dear 12 year old dog Owen passed last weekend ..at home..it seems his heart stopped.and so did ours momentarily ..he was a quiet unassuming border collie cross boy..tolerant,wise with a soft way of taking his treats and he gave us many active playful moments and accompanied us on thousands of romps and walks over the years..was a tireless frisbee and kong champ and a marvellous regal companion all around. His temperment became more settled than his sister Savannah..and she has become very needy and affectionate in his absense. Of course we are loving her up..

There is a big hole in our lives and hearts with Owen gone.

may he be frolicing in some field..free and much like his puppy days full of collie spirit!
