This old picture of my J and my Moo has always been my favorite. I took it over the first summer we were together – 1997 – for those that may not know that. This photo re-started my love affair with photography. I love captuing moments in time and I am so very grateful that I will always have this smiling picture of my Moo, being held by the man I most adore.
I am missing my old girl lately. I feel like I haven’t said good-bye to her properly yet. I don’t know how to do that. I want her to be free and happy, and yet, at the same time, I miss her cuddling up with me. I feel sad that R will never know her and C will probably not remember her. I want to rub her ears once more, here her loud snuffle, and yet when I think these things I know how selfish I sound.
I am so lucky, I had this great dog for so many years. She was my constant companion and I am grateful. I am just missing her is all.
This is a good shot of JD and Moo. In fact, this doesn’t even look like your moo to me. She’s such a dark chocolaty brown in this picture. The good thing to remember, is 1) It’s ok to miss your dog. She was a good friend and pal for such a long time. You will always have her in your mind and heart. 2) She helped you discover some things you love: Photography and JD.
It helped me to keep a picture with nicknames of my cockerspaniel when he died. I still have his picture in my nightstand drawer.
