On April 12th, I came home from work at 6 am, no dog was at the door waiting. I knew something was up, had been expecting it for a few months but the dog just kept hanging on.
16 years, 8 days.
Vets wanted to do all sorts of operations but Coco was 16 years old, a large breed dog,
one of the best hunting dogs I've ever owned. He pointed, retrieved and tracked.
Although we both gave up hunting about 7 years ago..he still enjoyed a good run.
Even now we (the whole family) all look around for him...
Topaz photo, shows him with his beeping collar on, so I could keep track of him in the woods, while he chased those pesky wabbit's

Hi Paul, lovely treatment for a lovely dog. A very nice photo that I am sure you will come to cherish in the years to come. A good age for a large dog. So sorry for your loss.

Paul, You guys are killing me with these sad stories. Pets are such loyal companions and they fill a spot in our hearts that nothing else can even come close to filling. Your love for Coco really comes through here. Such a sweet face. I love the filtering it makes his fur looks great.:S3:

Wonderful memories, Paul. It's hard when we loose part of the family. Your processing and setting is very fitting and I also love the look of his fur.

The loss of a beloved pet is always hard but you have a wonderful photo to remember him by. The Topaz processing is perfect to bring out details in his fur.

Well that got me all welled up! I'm so sorry for your loss, Paul. It's such a heartbreaking thing to lose our pets and my heart goes out to you.
On the other side of things, I love the treatment - it really gives the hair some great texture.

Beautiful dog, Paul, and great expression & pose you captured. You can tell that Coco was a very faithful friend & companion. Wonderful topaz treatment, like the texture of fur and inclusion of habitat. :S3:
