I am not sure if I like the cropped version of this Kodak Moment better, or the full tree version - What do you think?
I am sharing with you one of those great Kodak Moments. Just like when your kids do something special you think - darn, where's my camera - I want to grab that photo and they move jsut before you get the shot! You can't get the shot and can't recreate it. Rusty is a special Doberman. My father rescued him when he was about 9 months old. My father was a bit concerned about getting a dog to replace his "Rusty" that went to the Rainbow Bridge a few months before. My father wasn't feeling well and seemed to know his days were numbered. We convinced him to get another companion and promised him that we would care for him if something happened to our Father. At the time we did not know that our Father had colo-rectal cancer and his days were indeed numbered. We moved him, our Step-Mom and Rusty up north from Florida so we could take care of our Father while he underwent Chemo and Radiation and all the nasty stuff that comes from trying to cure cancer. They all moved in with my sister, Darlene and her hubby Jack in Spring Grove, Illinois. This photo was taken a few weeks later. We didn't know it but this was our last Christmas with the whole family. Rusty posed for this perfect shot by himself. This day, it was just meant to be - we would have a wonderful portrait. Rusty sat down by the tree and sat majestically just daring my sister to get the shot. She grabbed her camera and here's what she got. She has tried and tried to recreate this photo with her other dogs, to no avail. Rusty now resides at my other sister's home - Holly - in a country setting where he romps around with Mini horses and another doggie. This is my favorite Kodak Moment. Thank you for letting me share it with you!
