DOGS gone by...

Yesterday I needed to look up a picture of an old friend and so I got down into the basement and dragged out one of the many boxes of old pictures I retain from the days of the "before digital camera" era. I can see why there is such a craze for scrapbooking and I would bet I could fill literally dozens and dozens of scrapbooks with all the old dog show snapshots and family birthday pictures...I am not organized however and trying to go through that large box of photos is a dautiing task.

Glancing through all the pictures was a trip back into history. All the dogs that have gone before this time.....all the dog shows, all the traveling, all the hoopla. Now it is a time to reflect back. Can't say I'm sorry. But can't say I don't miss it, either. It's just that now, with my four newfs that I have left, and my settled and somewhat predictable routine , my life more nearly resembles that of a normal person!
