The Lens-Artists theme this week is NOSTALGIC (HERE)
For my take – I have doggie photos and then memories from Christmas 2009.

…
Our first set of dogs were similar to our second set – here are Ginger and Maryann
Cody
Steve
Now – a song….
The first time I heard this El Cerito Place song by Kenny Chesney was around Christmas 2012 or 2013. Not sure which Christmas it was, but I liked it at holiday time. You might already know it, but if not, maybe have a listen and let me know what you think.

I just adore all of your doggie photos! The thing about our pets is that we may temporarily lose their physical presence but they never really leave us! ❤ What a great family photo. You do have a beautiful family!
It still warms my heart. His nickname was Commodore Cody because he was so intelligent and his social skills were “smart” – and he had a commanding side with a splash of chilvary – a bit of contrast to Steve, brothers from the same litter
Thanks so much for sharing those memories Yvette! We too had a Christmas Carol tradition. On Christmas Eve my brothers and I would stay up until 2 am and watch 3 different versions of the movie. I still smile when I think of it 😊
Christmas time definitely should contain huge list of nostalgia for sure. Yes, those four legged ones really great moments and glad you have special moments captured.
Hi Norah – glad to share some Chesney music – he is one of favorite singers (and I like Sean McConnell and my husband sings – love his voice too) anyhow – this song has been done by a few artists but I like Kenny’s the most 🎼❤️
Hi Norah – well he sings – not necessarily directly to me – lol
although there is a lot of “off the cuff” singing around our place – my son belts out lines and well – I like to sing a bit too – I think we are a very oral family
I love the dog photos Yvette – all the precious pets and their memories and always poignant to look back and relive the joy they bring to our lives. Being alongside a special pet not only spells contentment for you, but for that pet as well. The Christmas caps made those photos extra sweet. The El Cerrito Place song was very nice; I like country music, though I don’t listen to it much and it’s my first song I heard by Kenny Chesney.
thanks Linda – and glad to introduce Kenny Chesney to you – he is a country singer that sometimes has songs on the pop charts – and he is one of my favorite singers – 🙂 cool dude too – maybe that good energy trickles into his music
Old Yeller! (A 1957 sentimental family movie about a yellow lab.) I love dogs, could look at dog pix all day. What wonderful animals you have and have had. Superb.
Awww, so happy to see your pupper memories. What cuties!
In my youth, I was taken to A Christmas Carol many years at Indianapolis Repertory Theatre, and unlike my feelings for the annual trip to see The Nutcracker, I grew quite bored of it and am glad I am not dragged there as an adult 🙂

What gorgeous dogs!

I love how Cody would just rest his paw there while you journaled, as if to let you know he was right there with you.
