My elder dog Smokey, a male Aussie/heeler cross now 7, taken at Albany Bulb a few years back. I like the way his shadow lies on the painted moon on the concrete slab he is walking on.

Do you fear you won’t be around long enough to have another or won’t be able to provide them with all you need? We came by our first herding dog - the Aussie - after assuring my wife’s aiunt and uncle that we would take him when they couldn’t provid for him any more. The most amazing dog. Had no clue of what a command was for but he never required one. He was kind to everyone from elderly to babies and was never aggressive toward other dogs. His one vice as intimidating young males. I once caught up to hm bent over a big yellow lab with his elbow on its chest as the big puppy peed into the air. Fletcher looked up at me with the most pleased look of pros on his face. The puppy was twice his size but had it gotten mad, Fletcher was a master of deflection and could have defused it in a second. He never actually fought with any dog and may have been afraid to. But he wasn’t afraid of mind games. ideally loved that dog. This was him on a ’walk’ being pushed Ian old wheelbarrow because of his congestive heart failure. I had him scheduled to euthanized the next day at home by a vet.@MarkD
Your dogs are all beautiful and precious. I miss ours so very much. Please keep posting pics!
Since you obviously loved labs here are some pics of my labXgolden who always looked all lab. She was so black when she was younger it was hard to photograph her in sun. Here she is with the first dog Lia and I got together, Daisy the Dalmatian:@MarkD
Thank you for sharing your fond memories of Fletcher. What a beautiful boy he was.
Unfortunately, we are not allowed pets in our condo. We now live vicariously through daughter & SIL's
