Octobers

 This is my first October in 16 years without Dan.
I brought him home in late October, 2006. Last October, 2020, marked 15 together. I feel like it was all a dream, most of the time.
Looking at our pictures help; here are a few of my faves from  Octobers through the years.

                                                            All from October 2006

                                                               October 2007

                             With Tina and me, at a St. Francis Day outing - October 2009

                                            Two profiles, in his chair, October 2010

2011, the year he was 5 and his muzzle started to turn white. Bottom pic is on a roadtrip to look at 300 acres of wild land for sale, alas no accommodation...but here we have the famous Danny Squint

                             Up at Eddie's land, one of my favorite pics of him - 2012

                        Blending in with the fall colours on one of our most beloved rambles, 2013

 

 

                                          2014, in his chair, watching me clean

                                    2016, he was 10, and very white, but still very fit, active,healthy
                                                     Our last October in Rupert

2017, in his weird harness, at the new house. He palpably disliked these woods or at least, felt ill at ease in them, but he adored walking onleash around the circle, sniffing the other dogs who had passed by. I never would have imagined.

 

                                                                          2018

                                                          How sweet he was, always....


                                     
  And that's it for Octobers - no pics from 2019 (I was unable to stand up!)   or  his last October, 2020.
                                Oh Dan. I love you and miss you so much.
