For this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge Tina has challenged us to show Precious Pets.
We lost our precious dog Blondie almost 2 years ago. She lived a full life and traveled over 200,000 miles on her bed in the back seat of our truck as she accompanied us in our RV travels through the U. S and Canada. She loved to swim, chase tennis balls, and go for a boat ride. During our travels she swam in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, all the Great Lakes, Cook’s Inlet in Alaska, and even the Yukon River in Canada.




We don’t have a pet these days but we have a grand dog and two grand cats.




This post is dedicated to the memory of all the pets who have made our lives so much richer – FD, FD2, Shadow, Howard, Blue, and especially Blondie.

Thanks to Tina at Travels and Trifles for the Lens Artists Challenge – Precious Pets this week
Beth, Blondie experienced more life than some people I know. I’ll bet it was comforting to have her along on your RV trips. Love the first photo of her and the one of the green eyed kitten through the staircase.

Blondie and Diesel could have been siblings! He, too, loved everything water related, I know, it’s a Lab thing! Great post! Love Tubbles through the stairs.

Thank you! Through the years we had labs of every color. Blondie was our only yellow lab and whenever I see another yellow lab I think of her.

Beth, thanks for sharing your Blondie with us, what a beauty she was! Surely she had traveled more than most people!! They do leave an indelible mark, don’t they?! Your grands are all precious – love the shot of the cats at the table!

Hi, Beth. What a wonderful tribute to the animals that enriched your life. Blondie and our dog Max would have loved to take a swim together….just about anywhere! Blondie must have been a very special companion.

It’s nice to have an opportunity to remember such a valued and loved member of your family. What is the significance of the little yellow jacket or is it a life jacket that your granddog is wearing?

Judy, it’s a life jacket. It was his first time on a boat.
