The dogs had antlers on and it wasn't easy! At least I could get several shots to choose one out of!

At first I had a glimmer of hope that you have opened your home to another four legged friend. I am glad you have "loaners".<br />I love the photos of the Ginko tree. How cool to show the changing of them.<br />You are awesome!

It is really amazing how one can make that kind of decision in an instant - and know it to be time. Onward and upward.

Please carry on! Yes it's true there will not be another Jake in my life, but there are, and will be, dogs. Seasons come and go, all of them different than last year's or the year before.<br /><br />Steven you are so right that there are more than four seasons. Duh!! Thank you for this. Four obvious seasons but many more not so obvious.<br /><br />Yes Ronda, Tonka is a huge, powerful, enthusiastic dog. Beautiful and smart and manipulative, but we love him.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-45165487482121715662009-11-29T17:44:59.041-05:002009-11-29T17:44:59.041-05:00Thanks for the slide show.

Real loss is a bitter mystery, I think, & it tends to throw us outside the cyclical motions of the natural year because a real loss has a sense of permanence in passing time.
