A plea from a loving mom (me)

[.sarah]

Thank you for this reminder! I have been meaning to do this. I don't have any recent pictures of my pets and I together except for Buck and I when he came home a couple months ago. I don't have any with Luka that I am aware of, and all of the ones with Mandy and I are really old, and ones with Nova are of her when she was a baby.

So sorry again for your losses.

logan..i totally agree! i grab my camera and try to get shots of klo, but except for my Christmas cards, i have very few of us together. may i add that human family photos (with pets) are priceless too. sadly, i have old ones since never the twain met at home with working hours and active lives. sadly, we learn too late. i'm expecting a Bagley family photo in the snail mail!

Logan, this has really touched home with me. The ones who know me best, know that I hate having my picture taken. However, the last day that my Speckles was on earth, I had a couple of friends come over to take pictures of us both. Those are the pictures I treasure the most.

I just recently purchased a digicam and, yes, I plan on trying to take some good shots of Max and me. I will not post them for obvious reasons but will file them away for future viewing.

Big {{{hugs}}} to you Logan and my heart still breaks for your losses.

Logan, you could not be more correct. And we often need a reminder. Thank you.

Logan, first I want to say how sorry I am that you had to say goodbye to Zipper ... as if it wasn't bad enough to loose Murphy.

You are so right, it's a treassure to have photos of your dear ones, I am lucky to have quite a few of John with Fister, still I wish I had more. Years ago, we had another cat, Sir Patrick. I'm glad I have few photos with him and me - perhaps an opportunity to get them scanned and show them here.


((((Hugs))))

Thanks Logan for the reminder!! I'm sorry you have had to go through so much in the last few months.

I never really had anyone around to take my picture with the kitties.. so I used the timer on my camera to take our pictures together..

I felt like a big nerd.. but It sure is worth it to have those memories!

Logan,

You've been through alot these past few months. Makes MY life look like a cakewalk.

Another bit of advice from a professional photographer's daughter - ALWAYS write on the back WHO, WHERE, and WHEN. I got 2 boxes of pictures from my brother last week (I've been in a funk ever since). The more recent ones don't have any identification on them, but because I know where, when and who, I wrote it on the back. SOME of the older ones (from the early 1900's) have nothing written on them, so I have no idea if it's my great grandfather, or the neighbor next door.

And you're so right. Have pictures taken of you AND your pets. Although I live alone (for the most part) and don't really have anyone to take pictures for me, I manage the one-armed pictures of me and the furkits.

You are so right. Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention. {hugs}
