Fiver 1993-2008

wow , another handsome pooch photograph .... you guys gotta cut it out its kinda choking me up... I serious been there and can feel your pain ....

I firmly believe that there is a special place that God created for dogs - something to reward them for the steadfast loyalty and devotion they showed their family here on earth. I hope that it helps to think of Fiver romping there now.

Oh man, I remember when Fiver passed on to pooch heaven. It's a beautiful photograph, Victor, of a beautiful friend.
We had a similar anticlimax in our family when my great grandfather passed away. I remember it, although I was only four years old. My baby brother was growing bigger inside my mother's womb, and great grandpa thought it was OK for his life to come to pass when a new member of the family would come to be. Today, when I think of it, I remember his large gentle hands, and what a wonderful person my brother is, and I tear up. I'm sure it's the same for you with Angelica. Beautiful tribute, Victor.

Wonderful portrait and touching story...thank you for sharing it.

Beautiful dog. I have a soft spot for labs, too. So sorry he's gone.

Sorry for your loss. Beautiful portrait, though. It is so hard to get the exposure correct on a black dog and you got it beautifully.

Vic, he looks like a sweet pup. Sounds like he had a long love-filled life with you.

All the best,
Daniel

Thanks All. He was a great friend and since Anjelica was born so soon after, I've never really had time to stop and feel his loss. Bill's tribute to Baxter and a couple of days of being away from the family gave me that opportunity.
On exposure - He is a light sucker. I put him at Zone 3 and always exposed my TX400 at 200 and pulled devt (when necessary). Seems to work pretty well.
