The Blog I Didn't Write

It's been forever since I wrote anything here, although not quite nearly so long as I've been writing this post in my head. That's been since last October when my handsome and beloved Brindle left me. He was a fabulous boy and we had so many adventures together on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

He wasn't really a show off but if I gave him the chance he could demonstrate he was a smart guy. Even as he got older he just got more handsome with his distinguished white face.

My friend Lorena took this photo of us just over a year ago, I can't thank her enough for this.

Another favourite photo is from not long before he was gone. Typical Max, owning the couch, wrapped in his blankie.

Of course I brought him back home where he resides alongside Wee Max and Spencer. Never forgotten, always loved.

In something of a postscript, I took this quote to heart: "When I die please don't say I'll never have another dog. Search for the ones who are abandoned and forgotten, give them a second chance and let them take my place. Honour my life by saving another."

She was at the shelter before the Brindle died, I brought her home as a hospice case in his honour. She decided she had things to do before she died and she's still here. Her name is Nora and of course she's Brindle.
