Ciao. I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring Camilla, Heidi, Tito, Angelina.... home again.
vz-nostalgia: Gosh, Stef. Do you run a dog lab or something?

Only in England I saw such an Animal cemetery with so moving- dear epitaphs ans some clumpsy poetry- often animals seem to be loved quite more than human beings! I' m afraid the bulldog has been fedded up too richly by his "Frauchen"/"Herrchen" and...! A lovely picture in the sepia toning of deep sorrow- but your pic gave me such a smile onto my face!
vz-nostalgia: Well, apparently the trend finally made it overseas, Philine.
It's sin to say, but I laughed my butt off, when I saw this.
vz-nostalgia: I guess there is one, but we'll never know. Wanna try to make one, Chris? I can start and you will finish.
"No one has seen much of this woman. She rarely left her huge house at teh end of the street. She was old and ugly, and no one liked her, except for her old ugly dog..."
Your turn, Sir.
Have you read "The Loved One" by Evelyn Waugh? This image brings it all back for me
vz-nostalgia: No, I haven't read this one, pixie. I'll check my neighborhood library and let you know. Deal?

Viktor - I agree that this is a clumsy sentiment - I've seen it before and it just makes me shake my head. I have owned dogs my whole life and held many of them as they passed away.So I can appreciate the grief, however.... as someone who believes in Heaven I am less regretful than jealous! The idea of finding a way to extract a loved one from a place of eternal bliss is a silly one to be sure !!! To me this is one of the most selfish expressions you'll find!!
Anyway good shot as always!
vz-nostalgia: What an unusual thought, Lee. How in the world I missed it! To extract a loved one from Heaven back to Hell of Earth is very selfish indeed. Brilliant thought.

yes, very hokey - until you miss someone unbearably
vz-nostalgia: Did you miss someone unbearably, Cathy?
