55 on Friday

He enjoyed watching the clouds shifting shape, watching their shadows gliding across the slopes of the not-too-distant hills. He could always find some interesting figures: a pony, a kangaroo, a giraffe, a turtle, a bat, a dragon… and when the sun disappeared completely he felt an overwhelming sadness. He missed his late dog so much.

Awww the poor boy. I can so picture seeing all of those shapes in the clouds and even more. Well done my friend :) Have a great weekend :)

I loved laying in the cool grass looking up at clouds and seeing things.
If I tried it now, someone would probably call for an ambulance when they saw me laying in the grass.
Ah, youth.....
Thank you.

I know that "missing the dog" feeling. They are so wonderful and loyal and supportive.

this is actually dedicated to one of my doggy friends (who actually featured in this blog some time ago) and his owner. he was a big boy, a labrador-newfoundler mix and had a nice personality. died of cancer just recently.

thank you all for your comments.

I am sorry to hear of the dog's passing. The loss in the story was apparent to me. I feel your friend's sadness.
