Old, battered, worn, loved

Old, battered, worn, loved - Dog leash wall hook - always ready for a quick trip to the seaside or the woods.

 

A quiet reminder of who really rules the house.

 

Ella was always ready for her walk. No matter what the weather, she would always get excited when I reached for the lead and said the magic word "Walkies".

 

She didn't care about torrential rain; she would pounce into the snow and bite great mouthfuls of it; she swam at every opportunity; she ran and hunted down scents in the hot sun; she ran off into dense fog and kept re-appearing to make sure I was still around. If there were hailstones, she hunkered down and just carried on walking. A dog for all seasons.

 

At the moment, since losing Ella in January, I am "dogless", but when the time is right, I will have another.

 

It won't be long as I have always had dogs, so when it feels right, I'll have one again.

 

My life overlapped with Ella's for 13 years and "The Pleasure was all Mine".
