People with dogs are seen quite rightly as wonderful people because “They have a dog and are kind to it”. But not it seems once their dogs, which they have looked after for decades, have passed away. They then become considered by some as non-people who are kicked back into the bucket marked ‘People who haven’t got a dog now so they must be really nasty evil people‘. I hate that view. Even though some claim it’s unintentional. I really am annoyed by that view. 🤬
I’ll always dread the 15th of each month.
It’s been 2 months today since I lost my lovely Janey. The 15th April 2019. I think I’m always going to dread the 15th of every month. Still heartbroken. 😥
She wouldn’t have enjoyed all this wet weather at all. Here she is on Tuesday the 11th July 2017 when it was a bit wet out.
Janey walks in the grass.
Some video clips recorded 25th June 2013 with a Kodak Playfull (720p) whilst walking through the grass in the fields of number 1 walk. There’s no sound.
Janeys tongue.
Taken on the 1st May 2013 whilst on our number 1 walk Janey stopped to pose for a #TongueOutTuesday picture.
Janey by the geraniums with her cracker.
Janey enjoyed running up the garden to retrieve her cracker. Here she is in a bit of slow motion bringing it back to me by the geraniums. Filmed on the 14th August 2013.
Grass seed makes your nose run.
Doggy hairs.
One thing I have noticed is that for a few weeks now I’ve woken up without any dog hairs in my mouth. Nor have I had to pick any dog hairs off my clothes during the day. Sad really.🙁
Janey running in the garden.
Found some old video of Janey playing ball in the garden. Think it was taken on a mobile phone about September 2014. The video size is only 640×360 at 25 fps and bit size is 4000kbs. But hey it lives!
Whilst copying images and video from various hard drives to a single hard drive (Yet Another Backup) I found the original video source. It wasn’t from a mobile phone but was taken with a panasonic sdr-h80 which uses a built-in hard drive.
The video details being:-
Duration : 1 min 15 s
Bit rate mode : Variable
Bit rate : 8 982 kb/s
Maximum bit rate : 9 510 kb/s
Width : 704 pixels
Height : 576 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 1.738
Frame rate : 25.000 FPS
Standard : PAL
So that’s nice to know. I’m sure the video camera still works but I’m glad I had the foresight to copy off the video to a past PC.
Janey walks.
Janey walks and skilfully avoids a ditch.
An image with hidden meaning.
Janey: Remember all those conversations at night when I had my head on your shoulder and you were stroking my head?
Me: We had so many conversations. Which one?
Janey: When I said that after I’m gone you should get another doggy like me to look after you.
Me: Oh yes I remember.
Janey: Well I said you’d have nothing to photograph on your walks without me and that when you were desperately needing me you’d photograph anything like the pigeons, food, paper-clips and a pencil.
Me: That’s right.
Janey: Well you’ve started. You’ve photographed a pencil now. You need another me. Maybe not as old as I was, but a bit older.
Me: But I don’t know when the time is right. I’ve always had signs with the others and with you.
Janey: I understand. You’re waiting for my sign. Don’t worry I’ll send you one and soon. Night night.
Me: Night or should I say for old times…”sigh”.
Janey: Sausages?
Me: 😥
