Feeling Really Down Today, Wanted to show you all picture Options

[Goliathsmom]

Hi everyone,

I haven't been in the forum much today as I've been feeling a little down. I just wanted to show you all another picture of my sweet Goliath taken with his daddy a year or two ago, in better times. I hope no one is offended by men with long hair, as my husband does have long hair. But please don't let that fool you; he is a very generous, loving and sensitive person as you can see by the picture and an extremely hard worker.

My guys - at least I still have one of them, eh? And, of course, my Nutter and the birds.

Love to all,

Traci

Hi Traci,

I think that is a heart-warming picture. I can see the kindness and sensitivity in your Hubby's eyes. Goliath looks like he loved his Daddy soooo much.
Seeing this photo convinces me that is one of the most intimate body languages a dog can give his owner- to lie his head across his owner's neck/check just like in your picture. I was lucky enough to have Punky do that to me just the other night. He was incredibly restless and uncomfortable as usual, but he made his way up above my head and then unexpectedly laid his head across my throat. He instantly found peace, and so did I. Even though he was kinda choking me (hee-hee), I enjoyed his warmth and the fact that he finally found comfort. For the first time that night, we slept soundly together in that position for hours. I'm fighting back tears now just thinking about it. He's been so withdrawn and non-interactive in these his last days, that I'm deeply touched whenever he can still reach out and make a connection with me in the only ways that are left to him.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful, personal photo with us Traci.
