I've been spending quiet time alone with Jack, bonding, which we seem to have accomplished. He follows me around like a dog. He is a loner, but mainly because he can't kick out anymore, and isn't able to defend his food around the three minis, who I call the 'possee'. He has two special spots in the pasture he has claimed. He loves to have his head held. His ears remind of a brown bear so sometimes I called him Fuzz, or Buzz. But I've been calling him Giacomo. He's like many old men I've known- when you get to be this old, you've seen a lot of loss, and you accept it, but it starts to take its toll.

I love these portraits of Jack.
he is just the sweetest thing ever...
Love these images. The one of his eye is amazing.
I'm thoroughly bonded. He is the sweetest soul ever. Follows me like a dog.
He's a lovely animal.
Oh, the stories those ears could tell. There's something so soulful and melancholy about that single fuzzy ear tip...I find myself meditating on that photo.
Oh Katherine.
When I read your HEART on FBook I had to pop over.
I am so so sorry you have lost such a special special beautiful soul. I know your heart must be broken.
Just know that I am thinking about you and just can't imagine YOU losing this amazing creature. I am so sorry Katherine. Snuggles to you all. xo
