I don't know how many of you have a facebook account..., ? but I do. I do not go on there very much..., but for me .. it's a good way of keeping up with family and friends in the uk.. while i'm in spin.... Anyway .... they sometimes put a photo on your page.. (that only you can see) and say this is what you were doing this day .. .. so many years ago... My brother reposted the one they showed him of his 4 children sat on a sofa all together visiting their grandad... it was 7 years ago. and it was a nice photo... so I went to my page and mine was of something I had been doing with our other dog zak, who sadly has since died... see the photo above... we were on a walk in the countryside and walked through a wild overgrown almond grove... and he loved almonds so I would pick a couple and he would eat them... a sweet memory... Thank you facebook ..

SO... ? do you have a photo memory of 7 years ago....

Zak was a handsome looking dog. I don't have a facebook page, so many wonderful memories flood my mind and fill our photo albums and thumb drives of glimpses into the past. I have a lot of memories of 2009, which was 7 years ago. That was the summer that I held my beloved Dad's hand as he passed from this life. I remember the many "firsts" after his passing, but that it always felt that he was never more then a thought and a prayer away.

@sueznewz2 And a dream, I often dream of him, they are the sweetest dreams. Remember that when you Dad goes before you. They only leave us in one dimension, not all of them.

Firstly that is a lovely photo of Zak. Facebook is a wonderful way of sharing photos and memories, especially when your family and friends live so far away, it's a way of reaching out, knowing that they are there. I share a lot of photos of furbabies, I use Facebook a lot, I chat a lot and share photos with friends, it's a great medium and I have a lot of photos of memories which would other wise of been lost, it's so easy to forget, especially as you get older.

Thank you @wolfie34 He was a very handsome.. chap.. and such a gentle temperament too, i do use facebook but not as often as I used too... but it is a good medium for keeping in touch ... and that sharing of memories was a nice surprise too ... and usefull in bringing to mind things that have slipped away a bit.... and while it is sad that zak is no longer with us ... that memory bought a smile to my face....

Sometimes the memories that come up on Facebook are not things I especially want to remember, lol. I need to get to work scanning some of my old photos to put here at myLot is what I need to do.

Yes, I know what you mean. I have seen my memories of Abby pop up many times and I still miss her even though she has been gone over 5 years. They make me cry but then I smile..... You loved your guy the same way I can tell.
