Old Friend

Saturday, July 3, 2010

This is a picture I took today of my friend's dog, Beaumont. Beaumont is 12 years old and allergic to pretty much anything you can think up. He's bare in some spots where he's itched or chewed and he has arthritis in his back legs. He's shaky and has trouble with stairs, but nothing stops him form being a happy friend. My favorite thing about this dog is that he's so very happy and just wants to be loved and to love...a good message about life.

50 Word Story:

Good Life

Bumbling puppy, energetic and bouncy. Always ready to play, run, and wrestle. Happy to expend all energy. Lively adult dog. Hiking, fetching Frisbees and balls. Going on long walks in the summertime, sleeping on cool porches. Content old dog. Shaky, slower. Naps in the sunshine, basking in the warmth. Happy.
