Allium

I spent most of the day to create an album for my friend Anne in Spain.
Six years ago we met and started to chat because she asked me about Omo. She was just new in our village and we noticed that we were almost neighbours. We became good friends. She returned to Spain five years ago.
Omo was always special to her, so I hope she will like the album with photos of Omo combined with quotes about dogs, to remember my sweetheart.
When I was looking for quotes I came across this quote from an unknown author about living with a very old dog. It is so true:

"Living with a very old dog means feeling your heart speeding up every time you see them a little more stiller than usual and approaching with the fear that they have stopped breathing.
Living with a very old dog means being aware that some of the things you’ll do together may be the last.
Living with a very old dog means thinking ′′ this is their last summer “, ′′ this is their last July “, ′′ This could be the last morning”.
Living with a very old dog means they bark at any noise at any time, not because they know what they are barking at, its they feel they need to bark and let us know.
Living with a very old dog means, you have to lift them up into the truck, the bed, the couch, the stairs.
Living with a very old dogs means putting off commitments because it’s important to be close to them.
Living with a old dog means we trip over them because they are so sound asleep they don’t hear us approaching them.
Living with a old dog means accidents in the house, its ok they don’t mean to do it.
Living with a very old dog means feeling guilty because you know you could have done more, giving them more runs, more travel, more hugs, more caresses, more everything.
I would like to say that living with a very old dog also puts us in the face of our own death, fragility, vulnerability.
Living with a very old dog means we got to experience life with a very old dog, which is one of the best joys on earth!"
