Foot Note

By the 'wishing well' I made a marker for Kookie n PuppyDog

The plaque was made by one of the kids I took pics of on Mt Pleasant, working at a stone place n at his church, took pics of him n his girlfriend n they invited me to their wedding.

I have held PuppyDog's ashes since 2015 and Aug 14th will be one year since I held Kookie n wanna finally get it in the past.

When I lost Pumpkin (first saint benard) my daughter had a plaque sent to me, then I had to figure a place to put it so it wouldnt get broke.

I finally scattered a bit of my ashes, PuppyDog n Kookie's ashes on Mt Pleasant.

After dark, putting things in the backpack to go down the trail.. last pic of me n Puparonia

This month I created a 'song' about our photo adventures, just a few sec clip of my photo victims. I used Puparonia (new pup) in one but my favorite Kookie pic on a 'magical night"

As comical as it seems, that an emotional connection with Kookie and a pup I saw for the last time on the day of the 2024 eclipse haunts me. Guess it is good that fond memories were granted in that window of my life.
