Here's a photograph I took of my dog, ZARA, in the late '80s or early '90s, and which I'm quite proud of. I got it enlarged, mounted and framed, and it's hung in my living room for many a year, but the above scan comes from the original photo, dug out of an old shoe box a half-hour or so ago. Zara went to the great Kennel Club in the sky just over 21 years ago, but I still regularly have dreams in which she's still alive, and when I awaken, I look around for her before remembering that she's no longer here.
Has anyone else had a beloved pet, now gone, which they sometimes forget isn't part of their everyday life anymore, apart from in dreams, memories and photographs? Take a moment to remember your pet-friend in the comments section if you'd like to. It's good to share.
(Below is maybe how I'd frame the picture now - which version do you prefer?)
Or, given reader CJ's observation (see comments section), how about this one...?
