wow.. it is almost to the hour… in an hour and a half.. it will be exactly 5 months since I let Franklin’s leash go one last time for him to run free..
Time certainly flies…. and the heart never loses the love there………..
I thought I would share something that I have in my home…. We always took photos of the dogs in front of the Christmas tree.. every year.. and closer to Christmas… I will share those memories… but… in 2008 I received a gift from a dear friend of mine who took our Doggie Christmas 2007 picture to a girlfriend of hers who paints on slate, rock, feathers, leaves.. etc.. My girlfriend Marieann has a piece of slate with her dog Lady on it. Lady passed away over 5 years ago…
She painted my Christmas pups on a piece of flagstone.. and we have it in our dining room… it really is a great memory to have…
bark atcha later…..

I'm Canadian eh? living in Southwestern Ontario. My crew consists of my sweetie Fred, my son (25yrs) and my daughter (22yrs) as well as our 4 legged kids, Maggie (12yrs) and Wilson (1year). Franklin was my sweet boy who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2012. His leg was amputated on December 4, 2012. He was the cutest tripawd on this planet. He was happy every day. His tail was always wagging. Lung Mets took him from us on May 15, 2013. Rainbow bridge became a happier place with his arrival. We miss him terribly everyday.
We lost our kitty in September 2012. Diesel, who was 18 1/2 years old when he passed at home, was (and still is) the Godfather. He is missed terribly by all. They are curled up together sleeping at the bridge under the stars, happy to be sleeping buddies again.

All my love,

Chris,
Beautiful pictures and what a special treasure to have the portrait of the two. It’s sometimes frightening to realize how quick time has moved, 5 months……warm thoughts and a hug.

Hugs

As much as they stay safe and always in our hearts, it’s good to have something to hold and touch; I’m glad you have such a wonderful gift from your friend.
Big hugs, Liz and Angel Roxie
That is such a special piece to have. Love those Christmas pics. It just doesn’t seem possible it has been that long. I’ll bet Franklin is getting the hang of those wings now.
Take care-
Luanne and Spirit Shooter
What a timeless treasure to be revered forever! These photos…all of them…are so beautiful Chris. Perfection.
Thank you soooooo mich for stayingnhere and helping allofus. It really DOES keep Frank n’ farter alive and right byour side! I think that’s one reason, for me, it’s so hard to believe it’s been that “long”. Seeing you, seeing his photos, sharing these WONDERFUL memories of him…..all are such life affirming actions.
Thank you again for being here. We’re all family and must stay connected!
Nah Luanne, I think Frank n’ Farter jasn’t mastered the art of flapping his Angel Wings yet…..he’s too busy eating pig ears to practice!
I keep scrollingup to look at these pictures…..they really are stunnng. The slate paintings just blow mymnd! Does she have a website?
Love to you and Fred and Mr. Wilson and Maggie…..and Moon Child”! Franklin is, indeed, forever in our hearts and will never leave!

Chris,
It is so cool to have things like that to remember your animals. We have 3 paintings of previous dogs but they were very expensive so we had a rock painting of Maggie and Blink and I love it, especially now with Maggie gone. She’s been gone 6 months now and I do good not to burst into tears most of the time, now mostly warm memories. Franklin was a sweetie pie and I think he and Maggie are chasing birds across some field.
