Taken on the 1st May 2013 whilst on our number 1 walk Janey stopped to pose for a #TongueOutTuesday picture.
Janeys tongue.
Janey by the geraniums with her cracker.
Janey enjoyed running up the garden to retrieve her cracker. Here she is in a bit of slow motion bringing it back to me by the geraniums. Filmed on the 14th August 2013.
An image with hidden meaning.
Janey: Remember all those conversations at night when I had my head on your shoulder and you were stroking my head?
Me: We had so many conversations. Which one?
Janey: When I said that after I’m gone you should get another doggy like me to look after you.
Me: Oh yes I remember.
Janey: Well I said you’d have nothing to photograph on your walks without me and that when you were desperately needing me you’d photograph anything like the pigeons, food, paper-clips and a pencil.
Me: That’s right.
Janey: Well you’ve started. You’ve photographed a pencil now. You need another me. Maybe not as old as I was, but a bit older.
Me: But I don’t know when the time is right. I’ve always had signs with the others and with you.
Janey: I understand. You’re waiting for my sign. Don’t worry I’ll send you one and soon. Night night.
Me: Night or should I say for old times…”sigh”.
Janey: Sausages?
Me: 😥

A card from the vets.
After bringing home Janeys ashes I took the casket out of the cardboard box and placed her by Sali and Dusty. Then 2 days ago I picked the box out of its bag to put away and found a nice handwritten card from the vets, some forget-me-nots and a small laminated card. Cue eye-grit.
The Original Rainbow Bridge Poem
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together, never to be separated again.

Glad that April 2019 is over.
I’m just glad that April 2019 is finally over. It’s been probably one of the worst months I’ve ever known.
Janey looking at me with her better eye.
Janey has cataracts in both eyes so she has limited vision. She has also come down (since Sunday 7th April 2019) what appears to be Vestibular Syndrome. She was already a bit wobbly on her arthritic legs and is a bit more wobbly now with her VS. She is very poorly but does her best with help from the vet.

Janey can be very rude at times.
Janey looking adorable.
