Oh how the years hang heavy.
We received this picture from an old friend this week.
I'm glad no-one is posting before adn after pictures of me with a 14 year gap in between. Don't want to frighten small children and people with low immunity.
Has that pooch been drinking? HMMM> looks like a bad hangover, LOL! Send him over to my house and he can hang with Pepper! She thinks she is a cat so she sleeps all day; and she is only seven, LOL~
ah, but who amongst us would measure up in bringt-n-perkiness to our 1994 selves? on the other hand, we have wisdom, maturity, cunning and guile...so it's not all bad then!
still one GORGEOUS canine at any age!) (geez, i hope LHJ says that about me, occasionally!) :)

Oh that is the sweetest photos ever. As a bona fide dog lover... he/she is TOO cute. He looks like he's lived a very happy life.
I have to mirror other's comments... I feel like that second picture a lot!!! ;)
Well bless his heart, he looks tired. Believe me... compared to 14 years ago we ALL look tired. :)
