This week's word selected by Astrid is Friends. This sent me on a search through my Archives stored on my Photostick - all 3000 plus. I'm going square eyed but have found a few suitable ones. I don't like using pictures of people without their permission so have stuck to mainly animal friends or our own children taken many years ago.
I have again used pictures of Roxy and Jess, our 'granddogs'. Roxy is sadly no longer with us but we have pictures to remember her by. When Jess was brought into the family Roxy immediately adopted her as her own and they remained close friends.
Roxy and Baby Jess
I was delighted to find the next couple of photographs during my scroll through my archives. I had forgotten how lovely they were. Being old pictures the condition is not brilliant but it depicts the word 'friend'.
A young Katie with Barnie the dog, TDR the rabbit and Sam her cat who was named after a pop star of the time, Sam the Sham. He was a 'sham Siamese' as he had all the characteristics of his Siamese mother, voice included, but was black, I assume he took after his father (a wandering Tom) so was a Sham Siamese; TDR stood for That Damn Rabbit as that was what B used to call him when he misbehaved in the house where he roamed freely.
Max was a fully trained working dog who failed as he was too gentle and not good at jumping - can't have a patrol dog who could not jump fences or would greet the 'accused' rather than apprehend them!!
He absolutely adored his family and was wonderful with the children, protecting them all the time, accepting Katie's brother as just another addition to his family.
