F is for friends, I highly value all of my friends. So I looked for pictures, I've taken a lot of pictures in the past year. I recognize that my friends are so so important to me. I would not give up a one. I think that's why I like parent group so much, it's structured to facilitate friendship. Old friends and new friends, friends from projects and neighbors. I started looking for a representative friend picture, keeping my mind open.
And this picture spoke to me. Again, I just let it hit me. It's a cliche, man's best friend and all that. I do value people more than animals, I do, I do. But I also have this old dog who has been with me quite a long time. She's very gentle, very loyal, follows me around the house all day. I know she's very old for such a big dog, that she's coming close to the end of her lifespan.
I'm a dog person and I recognize Shadow as being as much of a friend that a dog can be.

What a great "F"! She has in deed been through thick and thin with you! Always there for you and protecting you with her bark . . . as she stands BEHIND you. Freindship : " I will protect you while you protect me "!!
I'm happy for you and your dog. She looks so sweet. I'm sad she's old. I'm going to a UMd. softball game today. Maybe I'll get some pictures to post. I'll let you know.
Shadow is such a sweety, especially with Star Baby.
