Girls Best Friend

Here's my favorite shot of my best friend, Zoe.  She's been on my mind a lot lately as she's aging and showing her illness more everyday.  We used to love those days at the park, running into the water (only chest deep because she's chicken), sniffing wildly at every turn, snapping at flies and joyfully running off-leash up and down the trail with me.  Although we still enjoy each other, our walks are shorter, she sleeps most of the day and I can see the cancer gradually wearing her out.  I'm happy I immortalized her on one of her happy days, don't miss that chance with your best friend (no matter if yours happens to be furry or not)!
