"Bobby"

Bobby? That's the wee dog, you understand. It's his portrait, and his pose, that caught my interest. His "Boss-ess" is Margaret, part of a small group of widows/ers who group together on Thursdays at our local hospice. Despite the fact that I'm a widower myself, I attend as one of the group's facilitators, having been a volunteer there since July 2008. (I've only just gained the emotional strength myself, to do this, just short of one-year down the line from losing my own wife.)
