The 1st Photo of Chewy as a pup was taken in 2015, and the second photo of Chewy was taken in my livingroom in 2007 while he and his buddy shared a drink...

"I had to grab my camera really quick to get this shot of my drinking buddies! I almost missed it!
I did NOT have time to set the camera mode because I knew the moment would end and that
I may never get another chance at this priceless moment. As soon as I started shooting they stopped!"
Yes I know... it is out of focus and it is not the best quality but it is the theme and subject matter
that counts the most to me.

Sad Note:
I unexpectedly lost my buddy Chewy, pictured on the right side sharing a drink below, on 07/17/2019.
Chewy's passing broke my heart once again by losing a dear pet... I didn't write a story about losing Chewy like I did when I lost my dear cat Snowy (see "my loving pet"), which is still posted. I started to write about losing Chewy but I couldn't do it from being blinded by tears each time that I tried to write about him... Chewy was my soul mate, Chewy was my shadow and I was his...!!! Just how many times can a heart be broken...??? Maybe someday I'll try again to write about Chewy, but now it is still too soon, too vivid, and too painful. Whomever said that "a dog is man's best friend" was an understatement...!!!

Thanks NMGal for your kind words... unfortunately I didn't become a pet lover until late in life... it happened after I retired in 2011... my better half, against my best wishes got one Yorkie, and then another about 2 years before I retired! She got Chewy first and later she got Leia... and then there were 6...!!!!! I soon grew attached to the dogs because they were so cute and funny... but after retiring I was with them 24/7 and to my surprise I really got close to them... after awhile they became more like children that never grew up... they were so loving and we all became best buddies! I learned about each one of them... they were much smarter than I initially realized... but after I retired and was with them so much on a daily basis I soon discovered how bright each one of them were... I quickly learned to understand their request and they learned mine... what an awakening they were for me...!!! Loving them brought me so much happiness but at a great cost... losing them is and will be so painful... a pain that I never thought that I would know... I regret the day when I lose another and again feel the pain of lost... how many times can a heart be broken...???!!!
