Lou and Bosco
Newport, RI 10/7/04
As you all know creativity is a healer. During the most difficult times of my life I have turned to my writing, photography and now painting to help get me through. This time is no different. I am still reeling from the loss of my pug and some days feel as though I won't ever stop crying. On Saturday I went looking through some photos of my Bosco, shed some tears, and then put my focus to creating something beautiful.
I love this photo I shot of Lou and Bosco 7 years ago on a trip to Newport. There is something so amazing about capturing those candid moments that cannot never be posed or planned. I thought this image would be great with texture and I cropped it in such a way to leave room for an inspiring quote I found about dogs.
Lou loved what I did with this photo and I do too. The words really complete it for me. It made me feel a little better taking my pain and translating it into something beautiful.
Thought you might like to see the original image . . .
Thank you all for your ongoing support and kind words as I weave my way through this maze of grief.
I am grateful for all of you . . .

How beautiful Cathy! And I must admit, I'm usually more partial to your original photos...with some exceptions. But this time I love the textured one better! And the words synched it for me...even if they aren't 'my' words. :-) Keep at it Cathy. My thoughts continue with you.

ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of you, Cathy. It takes time. I still get teary eyed when I think of my two dogs that passed within 5 weeks of each other. I'm sending you hugs!!! xo
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful photo Cathy! You WILL see Bosco again someday♥
ReplyDeleteCathy, I'm so sorry for your loss. I love the beautiful image that you have made of your two special "people" (yep, anyone who's known a pug knows they are definitely a people!)
ReplyDeleteSending you gentle hugs,
Caity (from Supplies Me class)
Oh, I love this. Took my breath away! Just stunning. A beautiful memory you have created.
ReplyDeleteYour newest follower! (I have typed that in soooo long. Don't add people often anymore.) I have a Shih Tzu named Coco. I have three Shih Tzus, but Coco is special. She is 12 years old and has no doubt been the most amazing dog I have ever owned. I think often about what life would be without her. I tell her several times a week that she is the love of my life. Your story really, really touched me. I am so sorry for your loss. I deeply understand.
