excellent composition

Excellent!

a very striking scene, beautifully done.

A beautiful image, and I can empathize with what you are going through. I have had dogs my whole life, which also means you have to periodically say goodbye to one. A few years ago, I lost one suddenly, that had been my baby. It was very difficult for me, and a friend gave me a clipping from a pet magazine. I still carry the clipping with me in my wallet: Remember me always, but do not grieve for me too long. I have tried always to comfort you in times of sorrow, and have made every effort to add joy to your life. I never wanted to cause you pain. Peace for me is certain now, and I suspect I will have eternal sleep in the earth I have loved so well. Please, after your period of grieving for me, make room in your heart for another. You are the kind of human being that should always have a friend like me to love. Your kind and gentle heart should not be wasted on my memory for too long. Give your love to another. I know your new friend will never take my place, because we had something very special. It may not be quite the same, but a new devoted and loving companion will in time, become special in their own way. You loved me very much, and I loved you. My spirit will always be with you, and no matter how deep my sleep, my grateful heart will always remember you." Author Unknown
