I had to send one of my dogs to 'dogadise' last month and just this morning my other dog is having an ear surgery. I shouldn't have clicked on this link today :bang;

A touching and valid set of slides about 'man's best friend'. I have had many such friends over the years, and I never 'owned' one of them, just privileged that I was a friend of their's and they allowed me to enjoy their friendship and love.

Here's another view, with a different 'animal', the comments at the bottom of each picture are certainly worth reading and considering. 'LAST PORTRAITS' are nothing new, The Victorians had photographs of the recently deceased taken, including babies and children, as momento's for the bereaved family.

***Warning, these WILL upset and disturb some persons!***
