Okay, these made me laugh. This is the kind of comedy relief I have always appreciated in my life. At the best of times, but most of all…. at the worst of times. It reminds me that without laughter and humour, I am not truly living a balanced life.
Here’s what happened:
I got the camera out after calling and making the euthanasia appointment with the vets. They were due in a couple of hours. I hardly left Pepper’s side that morning and just lay with her.
Our dear dog, Jazz – not to be outdone (as it is with all little sisters, no?) and being true to photo-bombing form – muscled in on the very last photos I was taking of Pepper just before the vets arrived at home.
She couldn’t help herself. Take this photo below, for example:

I like your take on this xx
Aww thank you so much for saying, MrsW.
Oh dear, ham and a half! I thought the collar was Jazz's tongue, which actually made the upside-down pose even funnier
But I do appreciate what she was doing for you there. Kind of makes me wish I had another dog too for when that day comes. And it's coming.

What a beautiful blog you have! And what gorgeous puppies!
I have read through some of your old posts and my heart broke over the mourning and loss you speak of for your dear Pepper. I have recently lost a much-loved pet myself, and am dreading the day my almost-15 year old dog has to leave me.
Pets become such a big part of your life, it's incredible!
Every year I go down to my friend's private lake. Their dog Pepper always would accompany us, and stand by the water barki at us to play fetch or swim around in circles snapping at the reeds. This year she wasn't there, and the silence was deafening.
I'm sure your Pepper is looking over you and your family with lots of love!
Hee hee.

Too cute.
That dog is darn cheesy… but in a very good way!
It's the one thing we know for sure, isn't it?
I see what you mean about the collar – that IS funny when you think it's her tongue! xxx
Hi there, thank you for your kind comment.
They do leave a big gap, especially when they've been there for so long or are otherwise very noticeable. I hope you have quite a few years left in your companion. I can hardly believe we had Pepper for so long! Amazing.
xx She thinks so!
She is laugh out loud funny. I've never met a dog who tries to be a comedienne.
Cute dog.
