I found you the other day.
Was walking by and there you were.
I picked you up.
Where did the time go ?
We both look so young.
I remember that day.
We were sitting under the tree.
It was sunny and we were resting in the shade.
Mom came out and took our photo.
I had my hand over your shoulder.
I can still remember you.
It's been a while.
My memories are fading.
I don't think about you like I did.
I forget sometimes.
Lately, you have been on my mind.
Maybe that's why I found you again.
If only in that photo.

In memory of my dog, Chrissy.
He was my childhood friend.
A mix of a Collie and Shepherd.

Lovely. :-)
I don't often think of my childhood companions now (dog, horse), but when I do, the memories are warm and gentle.
Beth here -- oh my, tears are falling as I write this....how touching....I love the way you write, my friend.... Have you ever thought of putting pictures with these and making a book -- it would be a best seller! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Beth ~ You are always so kind with your words about my writing. Thank You !!!
Fuzzy Tales ~ He was the best dog ever. I've been thinking about him a lot lately.
A very sweet memorial to a family member and friend, your pet. Fortunately I took many photographs while I was in art school of our family dog, a german shepherd and Alaskan Huskie mix, Brandy, and our black & white foundling cat Sergeant Tibbs. My younger brother is in most of the pctures and they are so precious to us all, now that we are older.
What a nice memory! Purrs to you as you remember Chrissy.
