Photo Flashback Thursday

Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ images that I have either captured with a Camera, Scanned or just simply stolen off the internet. Little lost moments in time that I post up and relive tight here for everyone while I try to recall the moments around that image. Sometimes it's pretty easy to find that image and sometimes it's a challenge, although one thing it always is is a whole lot of fun for me.

This weeks pic is one of the family members who is buried on the back yard in the woods. Sadie was my old walking buddy and one that gave us very little trouble, she was a good dog. I used to go walk on the trails with her and she would get excited as I grabbed the leash because she knew what that meant.

Sadie got old and we had to put her down a few years ago in a humane effort. She could barely walk anymore, couldn't see and couldn't hear, she was constantly in pain and it was just time.

This picture however was one that was taken the first year we had moved in together, she had her pillow, her water bowl and her food was between the two. Sadie was a good dog.

Have yourselves a great day today.

Photo Flashback Thursday

Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out and look through some of the pictures that I have either taken, scanned or stolen off of the internet through the years and find one special picture that stands out. Little lost moments in time from yesterday caught with a Cameras lens and relived right here in my blog. Sometimes it's pretty easy to find that one special picture and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it consistently is however is a whole lot of fun.

This weeks pic came up on my timeline a couple of days ago on Facebook for memories and it's time to remember Sadie. Sadie was Michelle's dog before we moved in together, and was a pretty good dog, she used to love to go down to the trails and walk with me when I used to go. As soon as I started to change clothes, she just knew we were going to the trail.

This picture is from a part of her life where she was in fact full of life. She would run around the yard and was much quicker than I ever anticipated her being, but a couple of years later father time had caught up to her and her quality of life was gone, we had to do the unbearable and put her down.

She was a good dog and a faithful companion to Michelle and the kids up until the end.

Have yourselves a good day.

Hi ho hi ho

RIP Sadie

Sadie, 1996-September 3, 2014

Sadie, Michelle's dog of about 18 years had to be put down last night. It was a very tough decision, but she was blind, no teeth, deaf and had trouble walking or even standing the past week or so.

It killed me to see her go, as Chad took her to the Vet to have her pain go away for good. I couldn't have done it, it was the first time I have ever had to have a pet put down and it was a little hard to say goodbye.

She used to have seizures real bad and Michelle was going to put her down 5 years ago, but numerous walks on the trails and she sprung back to life for a few years. This past year however she had continued to get worse and worse. We tried taking her out on the trails this summer and she really didn't even want to be outside anymore.

She used to jump around and yelp every-time we even thought about taking a walk, as she was my walking companion for a couple of years. Always leading the way and we were always following her lead.

Earlier this summer we knew it was time, I suggested giving her the Summer to see if she recovered any, but father time has caught up to this long time family pet.

RIP Sadie, you will always be a part of this family.
