a canine friend, one of my friend's dogs, has passed.

she was 13, a doberman, who survived many changes in her life.

the final, after going to live with him, was the arrival of first one puppy

and then three years later another.

(these photos taken two weeks ago)

lena
a big, rough, strong girl,

accepted big changes in her life

welcomed and learned to play like a pup with them.

wendy she had a different, rough start with,

but they eventually became allies and could ride in the car seat together.

and walk in the woods together.

good bye dear friend

wendy and i will miss you.
