Ode to Shadow

Last Friday, my big crazy dog broke a window latch and my canine boys went walkabout. A neighbor found Bear and called me that afternoon. Shadow remained missing throughout the weekend. A different neighbor saw my lost dog signs and called me Monday morning to let me know that Shadow's remains were on the side of 580. I went out and retrieved his body in the pouring rain, bringing it back to my yard for burial. Shadow was my best animal buddy since my cat, Wacko, passed back in 2004. I will miss him. To celebrate the time we had together, here are some of the many photos I took over the last year we spent together.
