Farewell Pichu!

Ellie came to get him this morning – her sweet perfectly well behaved dog, Pichu.

I did not cry but if he had been here one more day I think I would have.

We were just getting to know each other well and made great strides this morning.

Frame #1: Pichu – “I know this is my bed, but I would rather be on yours!”

Frame #2: Pichu – “Is this really o.k.?”

I Have a Feeling I am Not Supposed to be Up Here!

But we gathered up his belongings,

the toys he ignored in favor of new donations,

his food and snacks,

and his bed he may or may not have slept in.

We do not know where Pichu decided to sleep but he never made a sound all night and left us to our own slumber undisturbed.

Like I said, Pichu is a perfectly well behaved dog.  Ellie and her family deserve accolades.

He is also the softest dog ever and a great hugger.

Anyway, we loved having a golden visitor who made us laugh and almost cry for other lost canine loves.

Farewell Pichu!

And we mean it when we say, “Come again soon.”

Old Lovers

I have a regular walking route through a quiet residential area in town.  Well, at least I USED to have a regular walking route.  Life has presented too many distractions lately with the horrible storm attack.  And immediately thereafter, our son and family paid us one last visit before their permanent move to California.  So I have not taken my walk recently.

I wonder if the old tree and the old shed still stand together.  The storm turned over bigger trees  and crushed sturdier sheds all around our area.

I do love the big tree cozied up to the old storage shed.  It got so close its trunk actually flattened against the walls in a giant hug.  As I stroll by I ponder which will fall first or if they will fall together.   They both seem so very old.

I wonder if people look at my husband and me that way – that old couple still holding each other up.
