Dream turns 13

[wilgk]

Our gorgeous Golden Dream turned 13 a couple of weeks ago.
I took her & our newly adopted Mali up the street where I had spotted a tree with a weeping habit, which I hoped would make a nice backdrop for Dream.

Mali wasn't too keen as she hadn't been there before, but I kind of like the photo as its a bit like when we're kids & it's not our birthday but we have to pose with our sibling who has all the presents.








Thank you for viewing.

I think you spoiled Dream a little bit through the years...she is getting on the fat side of getting old just like a grandmammy not minding her waistline anymore...looking content and happy. What a pretty kind of autumn backdrop you had chosen to pose them with...it certainly brings their shape and separation from it. Just like how you have to ram it in posing with your siblings, Mali will too ya think? She sure has a scowl in her face...

Good job, Kay. I enjoy dogs very much, especially large fat dogs. Happy birthday to Golden Dream...

Thanks Izzie,
Yes she is a wee bit cuddly, but that's ok

lovely shot of lovely dogs.

I took pictures for a local non-profit that raises and trains goldens for service dogs and it was really a struggle afterwards not to get a puppy for myself.

Nice images, Kay. I think your choice of background works really well.

Great images, Kay. I can tell they are much loved.

Great shots, Kay. You did pick an excellent spot to shoot. Not much grey on the face for that age. She must have had a stress free life

Both shots are excellent. I love the second one for the comparative ages reflected in the eyes. Just like with people the eyes of dogs really show the playfulness of youth, confidence of adulthood, wisdom of age, and sadly, fatigue(for themselves) and worry(for us) as the end draws near. Dream still looks wise to me

Nicely done.

Thank you Richard,Greg, Marie & Dan.
We hope Dream does have some time still with us, as she is a beautiful natured girl.
Her Mum is 16 & living in an elderly folks home as the companion dog.
I wanted to get the younger dog, now though as I was very sad after my dear friend passed away at Christmas. I couldn't cope with losing a pet as well if it happened then. The amazing thing is Mali seemed to know that I was sad & needed her. She likes all the family, but she loves me & never leaves my side when I am home. I think she is a fully qualified grief counsellor.

Love these, Kay, especially the second. Wish my Stella would pose as prettily for me (or that I were quicker on the uptake ).
