I found these photos on my iPhone which were taken from the car while we were traveling to — or possibly even in — Colorado. It might be Nebraska.
Anyhow, they are just distractions from my day, which included having to say goodbye to my husband’s dog, Phoebe. I’ve been avoiding the conversation here on my blog for two weeks now. That’s when I found out about the large tumor that was located in her right lung. On Saturday she stopped eating. And this morning, rather than walking up and down the sidewalk, she only wanted to take a walk around the planter in my front yard.
It was her time. And it sucks. She was a great dog.

I can totally understand your sadness.We have a cat named “Wilson”. He is a big part of our life. He makes us laugh many times a day. He is relatively healthy. He has some issues. He is 13 years old. He won’t live forever. Hopefully he will last for a few more years.
But……I noticed our neighbors across the street have a new dog. It wasn’t that long ago that their other dog, “Leo” looked healthy but overweight. I haven’t seen him for a while.
Our neighbor in back has/had a beautiful Himalayan cat. I haven’t seen him either.
What I do see is a cross in her front yard under the tree.
It got me thinking so I made a little site dedicated to my boy “Wilson” and in memory of faithful companions like “Phoebe” and “Leo”.
They bring so much joy to our life.

I’m so sorry. They are with us for such a short and sweet time, and it’s always so very hard to say goodbye to a special dog.

So sorry. It hurts to say goodbye to a close friend and, as Lindy says, it’s the real down side of having pets. Hugs

This is the hardest part of loving a pet. My thoughts go out to you and your family today.
