"I guess you don't really own a dog, you rent them, and you have to be thankful that you had a long lease."

During the weekend a lovely friend of mine lost a furry friend who was very special. So I hope you don't mind Lynn, but seeing we had been through a very similar journey a few years ago I thought a quick blog post about the beautiful Hugo would be fitting.

TRIBUTE TO A BEST FRIEND

Sunlight streams through window pane onto a spot on the floor.....
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie, but now you are no more.

Our feet walk down a hall of carpet, and muted echoes sound.....
then I remember,
it's where your paws would joyously abound.

A voice is heard along the road, and up beyond the hill,
then I remember,
it can't be yours..... your golden voice is still.

But I'll take that vacant spot of floor and empty muted hall,
and lay them with the absent voice and unused dish along the wall.

I'll wrap these treasured memories in a blanket of my love,
and keep them for my best friend until we meet above.

I will remember all the lovely cuddles and attention that was poured over me whenever I came to visit, the mischievous nudges of the nose to entice pats and how absolutely beautiful and stunning looking you were Hugo (even though you're not a real dog...more of a glorified cat really, lol right Lynn? <3).

Jake meeting Hugo. Jake as a puppy... Hugo does not look pleased.....

 

 

......understandably.

I'm not sure if this is Hugo or Stirling but it shows the lovely nature of Lynn's dogs... as well as their cute little noses.
