Today it's different
I am having a hard time to start this post, usually it is much easier. I upload the pictures and write a few words about them. But today it's different, much different.
Today my model is long gone and I cannot take any more pictures of him. As I cannot pet his long fluffy fur, cannot listen to his loud, monumental barking, as I cannot watch him running in the fields. It is four years that he is gone and all I have, are my memories and some old photos.
I am not even sure there is a point in saying the same things every year this day, but then again it's the day of the year to remember him and I am afraid that you have to bear with me.
He entered into my life as a tiny furry creature in November 2001 and stayed by my side till January 2018. A little more than 16 years, filled with his exuberant personality and passionate character. Impossible not to notice him when he was around and very hard to forget once you had met him.
His name was Morpheus which sounds very similar to beautiful in Greek and I can't thank him enough for the beauty he brought around me.

This is a nice memory and memorial for him. What a sweet looking doggy. It's really nice that you were able to have so long with him.
Thank you @wwwiebe
Yes it was amazing that he lived so long with us and hopefully he had a good time too.
What a little cutie. Those eyes would get me every time and he would get all the treats. I am glad that you have these photos of him to remind you of how awesome he was.
Thank you Wes.
Yes I totally spoiled him even though I knew I shouldn't.
Oh dear I just welled up reading this. Morpheus sounds like he was a wonderful friend.
Thank you very much Cath. He was a wonderful friend indeed!
I am sorry if I got a little melodramatic, it was not in my intentions.
That's perfectly ok, I'm just a big softie. Particularly when it comes to animal friends. :)

It's really touching. I can really understand what you feel as I have a dog (although never having lost any) it's a thought that sometimes crosses my mind, but as a dog owner we have to be ready to lose him one day, it's the cycle of life. But I think it's an experience that is so worth living, dogs are such precious companions, I would not change for anything in the world the moments I spent with my dog.
Have a good evening, in the heart of all these good memories! 😊
Thank you very much @pipoune for your lovely comment. I couldn't agree more!
You're welcome! 😊
Best friends! I miss my buddy and I am always happy when I see some good photos of puches like this.
Thank you @wnfdiary
Unfortunately losing our dog friends is part of the deal.
Such a beautiful post.
Thank you Sara!
What a gorgeous dog! You got some wonderful shots of him, and I, for one, would not mind seeing them once a year. :)) Sorry he's gone, but it looks like he had a very good run.
Thank you very much @goldenoakfarm!
