Goodbye Jack.

My friend J took a photograph 

of my "lover" (I posted about him the other day) sitting on my knee.  I have managed  to put it on here.   J  has fostered Jack (a Border Terrier) for six months while his owners were in Thailand.   They are back and are collecting him next week - I shall miss seeing him.   J is bringing him to see me once more before he goes.

  2. I fully understand. I've fallen for dogs that weren't mine, and never would be, twice. I still think about those dogs.

  15. What a great portrait of lovely you and Jack! Perhaps Jack’s owners will bring him by to visit you once in awhile. I’ve often thought that a service should exist that brings well behaved small dogs or cats for visits to seniors living on their own. Similar to what they do to hospitals and care homes. 15 minutes with a dog or cat can bring many hours of joy.

  24. Lovely photo of you and Jack. Such a dear little dog. We have to get our doggie fixes whenever possible don't we? I shall get mine tomorrow when my daughter and son-in-law pop in with their Jack Russell.

  31. Sweet picture, you look so happy with your little friend. Someone find a dog visitor for Pat! You never know what's out there. My sister has volunteered as a dog walker for seniors so I feel there must be something out there for you. I know dog walking groups are a thing, maybe a query could go out to them, word of mouth. Put your thinking caps everyone.

  32. A great picture! You both look so happy, and I think you really don´t look your age. Maybe Jack can visit your friend and then you once in a while?
    The wall hanging or picture on your left behind you look so interesting. What is it?

  35. I'll join the chorus: It is great to see you and your "sweetheart"!
    If I remember correctly, this is the first time we see you since you changed your hairstyle a few years ago. It suits you very well.

  36. The dog is bigger than I imagined he would be. Much bigger. Your photo is very nice and you look young and like your son, or your son looks like you. Did you have a photo taken of you, your son and grandson when he came? I remember you saying how like your son your grandson is so the three of you together would surely look like triplets.

  37. You both look sweet, and you still have the rest of the dog pack on the estate to see as they potter past.

  38. You both look gorgeous. Have you thought about kidnapping?

  39. Rachel - my son took a video of my grandson and me looking at the map of China but he hasn't sent it to me yet.



    Thanks everyone. Now that I have suddenly realised I can use copy and paste I shall hopefully begin to put photos on again.

  40. What a lovely photo. That hair style really suits you and I think you look younger than on your profile photo. I echo as others have said that that would make a good replacement profile photo. I also thought that Jack was bigger than I was expecting.

  41. Thank you sharing a most delightful photo. Dogs are just the best. Thank you also for sharing bits of your many years, I look forward each morning to our visit.

  42. Absolutely lovely photo Weave. Wish I could bring my Dottie dog over to visit and sit with you. She'd be in heaven. And I spy Gayle's Scottie dog card right behind you! I too keep mine on display.
