Spending Time

Spending time with a

friend is something we all should do

more of.



So on this radiant

afternoon I'm spending

time with a friend.



As I enjoy these breezes

blowing my way, sitting

on the patio with my



best friend and companion

looking down at her

sitting as close as one

could get to me,


just now she looked

up at me, with those

beautiful brown eyes of hers,


knowing some day

won't have this time

to spend with my dear friend,


or to get her wet kisses

or that wagging tail,

from my dog Brandy,


so will enjoy this

magic moment, store it in

my memory and loving each

moment.

A lovely touching write on Brandy, James. As you say, we should treasure every moment - I have beautiful memories of our boys, Paddy and Nero

Ah, James, you had me fooled. Thought you were with a lady friend. Pets make great companions even though our time with them is limited by their short life spans. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn
