The Dogs In Our Lives, Paddy

Paddy

That is a photograph of Paddy taken in 2004 when he was full of vim and vigour. That would be Hector's cattle he is running at, the bad article - running the beef off them. He might have been around Judy's age, five or six - we never knew for certain how old he was. We'd had him for six months then and eight years later he was dying of old age.

Dogs -  they're not with us for that long at all. Only the memories last.

Ol dogs, children, and watermelon wine...
I miss our ol dogs: mainly Sally, Maxwell, & Fergus.

We never forget them. Even Aunt Lizzie at 86, looking through old photographs remembers the farm dogs of her childhood. By the way LOVED that song. Got a friend who plays in a Country Irish band and going to play it to him. He's a dog lover too.
