Dreaming In Color

- robin

Last night, I woke up in the night, then went back to sleep. In that time, when I went back to sleep I had a dream. It is weighing heavy on my heart this morning. I have not even shared it with Larry.

In the dream, I had boxed up all of Libby’s (Libby was my beloved dog) things and took them to storage. Libby died April 2017. I know that it is time to do this, is something wrong with me? Why am I having so much trouble with this?

I still miss her very much and suppose I will keep her things here in my studio. When the time is right, I will know it…. right?

PS: I dream in color, do you?

Love you beyond the moon.

Happy Birthday Ms De Havilland

- robin
Photo:{Internet} Olivia de Havilland with Oscar

Yesterday, one of my favorite actresses turned 103 years old. Happy birthday, Olivia De Havilland .

When I found this photo, I cried. How amazing is this shot? It has all of the elements of a perfect portrait, plus a pug. Can you hear me sigh? A PUG!

Ms De Havilland was born in 1916 in Tokyo, Japan. {and lives in Paris} She has always been one of my favorites. If I listen closely, I can hear her voice. Her beautiful voice. She has been in over 31 movies {she was Melanie in Gone With The Wind} and won two Oscars. Her talent was perfection and her acting is still relevant in 2019.

Happy Birthday Ms De Havilland. I send greetings from Texas to you and sweet Oscar.

Love you beyond the birthday candles.

Picky, Picky….

- robin

 

I found this photo today in my camera.

It was taken months ago and I do not remember it.

Toward the end of Libby’s life, she was picky.

She ate her dinner on a  china plate,

with a  paper towel under it.

She was such a great dog…I am missing her very much this week.

{Larry is out of town and I am quite alone}

Finding these photos are killing me….

Love you.

One More Hour

- robin

My feet feel like cement as I walk around the house.

The days are odd and pretend that I am OK.

Tears come unexpectedly.

Like with any other great loss in my life,

this reality is like a dream.

I know that she is gone,

but I wish I had one more hour with her.

Love you.

I Spent Her Money

- robin

Last year, my most amazing dog  and best friend, {Libby}

made some money.

A bank in Southern CA

used 3 seconds of a video I made of her, for their commercial.

When the check came in I cashed it and carried the entire

amount in my wallet.

That was  one year ago.

I have carried that money for one year,

hoping to find something meaningful as a remembrance.

Libby will be 16 in a few weeks and has been ill.

Today I found what I had been looking for.

I cried when I saw it.

This statue is in honor of Libby.

Made by Lladro, a retired  piece titled

“Dogs Best Friend”

***

I felt, as long as I had Libby’s money in my wallet,

nothing could happen to her.

She has had a difficult few weeks

 and today I spent her money.

All deals are off Sweet Libby Luna.

Do what you need to do.

I love you so much.

Me.
