“Never Forgotten”

As Summer comes to an end I find myself reflecting on all of the beautiful animals that have touched my life over the years. I’ve lost birds, pigs, goats, cats, fish and dogs. For me the greatest losses have come with the beautiful Great Danes we have adopted in the last 12 years. We bring in rescues. They are an amazing breed with so much love and devotion. Unfortunately, their lifespans are very short averaging 7-8 years. Two left us due to bone cancer, which is common in this large breed, especially the males. Our time with them was way too short, but the love they gave made it worth it. Others made it to ripe old ages of up to 11 years. I still think of all of them every day. They are never forgotten…
“Mogo” the black one (3+ years) and “Sampson” (7+ years) the fawn, both crossed the rainbow bridge just a year apart. They were best buddies…
“Bacchus” (6+ years) the larger patched harlequin, “Maile” (9+ years) the smaller patched and “Sophie” another black (11+ years). I miss them so much…

I’ve got the Summer blues. I am not talking about the sad kind. I am referring to the azure skies and blue aqua tint of the ocean waves of Florida. There is also the deeper blue gray of rain in the distance that tends to come around 5:00 pm each day. I am in Venice right now enjoying the salty air and cooler breezes that provide the only reprieve from the stifling heat. This morning we went out and swam in the choppy swells. The temperature was perfect and the sun was hidden behind the clouds for a few hours. I would apologize for my frequent absences from my blog, marketing and work in general. But I am far from sorry. I’ve worked hard for this and can finally live the life I’ve always envisioned. I am spending as much time as possible at the beach this year. It’s just heavenly…

When I was a little girl, I was fascinated with photography. I had my little Kodak Ektra camera and I would take quick snaps everywhere I went. The most exciting part of the process was always going to the drug store to pick up the developed photographs. Back then there was no one hour photo. It took about 5 days and the anticipation would drive me crazy! I would constantly ask my Mom if they were ready yet. Then I would revel at the surprise shot. The one that wasn’t anticipated. A casual shot that turned out to be a “wow”. Today it isn’t much different. I still take snaps wherever I go whenever something catches my eye. And then when I get home, the anticipation of downloading them on my computer is the same as when I was young. The only difference is now I wait mere minutes instead of days. Recently I had a beach getaway where I took over 300 shots and this was the “surprise”…the “wow” shot….

The above piece is our new puppy named “Coffee”. I love animals. You can see it in my artwork and you can see it in my home. I’ve always had furry or feathered companions my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, goats and pigs….all were my friends at some point. Which means I’ve had to say goodbye to a lot of buddies. Recently I lost my Great Dane Sampson. I don’t know how the Universe works…but this message below made me cry. Inside I’ve been struggling with Sampson’s death….I’ve felt bad wondering if I made the right decisions for him…..and it made me think of other animals that I’ve had in the past….wondering if I could have done better for them too….I loved them all very much and always did what I felt was right….I feel like they all sent this today to give me peace….
Six months ago I signed up for a service that supposedly sends email messages from the Universe. TUT. When I signed up, I filled in the blanks so I could get encouragement on my art business. Accordingly all of my messages are about my work, success, perseverance in my job, people I encounter in my career. etc. Never anything personal about pets or family. But today I got this below.
“I just want you to know, Sharon, that those animals you’ve known, who’ve moved beyond the veils of time and space, were forever changed by your love, they’re alive and well, and they’ve banded together to ask me a favor… that I make sure you get this message.”
Bark, meow, chirp, ergle,
The Universe

You say goodbye….Today is a sad day as I sit here missing my sweet companion Sampson. Mere words cannot express my sorrow….He was a magnificent animal with nothing but love to give. A 190 pound sweetheart. Due to his size and deep bark he was also my protector. I always felt safe with Sampson in my home. When we left our daughter home by herself, we always knew she was protected. Brinks had nothing on Sampsonite. In this post, I do not want to focus on the trauma that ended his life. I want to celebrate him! If you’ve never laid your body across such a massive dog and felt his love envelope you, then you cannot understand how deep the “missing” goes. He had such a “presence” and I am not just talking about the house clearing farts….no he gave life to our home. From the gentle way he played with Toby our little lab to the sweet grunting for attention. Yeah, he was a grunter and provided us with a lot of laughter. Dogs like Sampson can never be replaced….he leaves a big hole, but I can smile in the knowing that he is not suffering anymore and that if there is a doggie heaven that he is there now grunting and playing with our Mojo (black dog pictured below). Rest in peace my love….
