An oldie but goodie...

I'm having one of those days and needed a little cheering up.  I always like looking back through the thousands hundreds of pictures I've taken of Sam and Monty.  This photo is a particular favorite of mine.  This is Sam and I at Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona.  It always makes me smile.


He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.  You are his life, his love, his leader.  He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.  You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. - Authur Unknown

  2. What a great picture! That saying at the bottom of your post gave me a lump in my throat and had me all teary eyed. Hope going through your pics cheered you up. Sometimes I find it to be bittersweet.

  3. Awww this is a beautiful picture! I am really bad to always ask everyone to face the camera when I take a picture. This is proof that I should take more natural pictures instead of having everyone pose. Have a wonderful weekend.

  5. Your post brought tears to my eyes... I miss my red goldens cammie and penny so much, that saying at the bottom says it all. Give Sam and Monty a hug for me. There is no greater joy than sharing a special moment with a canine companion! Hope your beautiful pics raised your spirits!

  17. Lovely reminder of what must have been a wonderful day.

    It also made me very curious. Cornell University in my town has a Boyce Thompson Institute of Research. So just who was Boyce Thompson?
