Hi Asbad,

I feel so sorry for you and I know just how you feel. My Cocker Spaniel had cancer and each time he went in for surgery I sat home and cried - just praying he would survive. I hope Celtick is okay - and I wish you the fourteen wonderful years I had with Sammi. My heart goes out to you. And your are right - a DSLR is nowhere as important as your dog. A beautiful Mallard in flight - wonderful colors and a nice reflection. But my thoughts are with you and the dog more than on the photo. Good luck my friend.

Asbed,

I am sorry to hear about your best companions. You've shown great heart for nature in all your previous posts and your actions now totally prove it. I admire you for this decision. Hang in there, bad times always pass and those ones will as well. DSLRs are great but they cannot compare to our 4 legged friends. Wishing you all the best.

Oh dear !
It was touching to go through your notes; unfortunately this is the truth of life. Our pets our very much part of our family. To see them in distress is painful & to loose them is a great sorrow. I do agree with Jane, Bob & Martin. They leave a permanent mark on you. However Celtick has left his son (who is carrying 50% body cells of his father, so one way your Celtick is very much alive scientifically). God bless & cherish every moment with your Ranger & new D-SLR.
Best wishes-Dr Subhash Ranjan

Hello Asbed,
I know how it is to be attached to a dog and I hope Celtic gets better and is with you for some time yet.
Your inflight of a female Mallard is taken from a great POV showing the violet sheen of the wing patch and the composition and reflection in the water are great.
An attractive image and thanks for sharing it.
All the best, Ivan

Hi Asbed. You have one more person here who wishes you sympathy for Celtic.I know the feeling well from my past two dogs.
They are family.I am sure he will be fine.
Even though this is a bit out of focus, the colourings and compo are good.
I can imagine it is difficult trying the in flight without a DSLR.
Keep them coming!

L'amore per i cani, l'amore per la natura, ... l'amore per la vita. Anch'io ho un cane che era stato abbandonato ed era malato di filaria, l'abbiamo curato ed è guarito, ora dopo molti anni risente dei danni provocati dalla malattia, ma ha ancora voglia di vivere e ci rende felici. Il volo dell'anatra rappresenta bene la gioia di vivere. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Salut Asbed,
Quel histoire! Je comprend les sentiment que tu peu éprouver maintenant. Je crois que tes priorités sont aux bonnes place. La caméras seras pour plus tard.
à la prochaine,
Roger

If I were to rate this shot on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the highest, I'd rate it 5.THis shot is perfection in itself, Bob.I can't think of anything else to say.

Hi Asbed,
Sorry to hear about Celtick. I also have a 10 year old dog that is not in the best of health. It sounds like you love your dog very much..
That love will pay better dividends than a new DSLR, without a doubt.
Besides, you can always get a new camera down the road. But Celtick you only have once.

Hello Asbed

I recently had my sheltie pass away.He was 12 years old and sat at my feet while I was at the computer.I understand how you feel.
This is a lovely in flight capture of this lady mallard.
The pose is very nice and you placed it well in the frame.
Very good pov.
TFS
