A pleasant train journey

Today I was at my mother's. She had just turned 93. She was in bad shape and slept all the time. I was caming back a bit sad and distracted when a young couple sat down next to me with this sweet dog. Even a strange dog can comfort you in a bad moment.

It's a sweet little dog, and they can be very calming for the soul

So sorry that you were so sad in how your elderly mother was when you visited , but amazing how a sweet little animal can sooth your mind and soul ! Great shot - he seems to be in clover!! fav

[Issi Bannerman]

Sweet, sweet, sweet! Sorry your mum is not doing too well. I know the feeling. My dad turns 91 tomorrow. x

Very cute and thankful that this little dog was able to lift your spirits!
I know how you feel I’m dealing with the same thing with my elderly mother!
It’s very disturbing when they’re not doing well !

I’m glad that this cute, silly little face brought a bit of joy. I understand it’s hard to see a parent (or anyone) in this condition. I used to drive the back way home from visiting my mother especially to see a sparkling creek along the side of the road.

Such a cute and fun shot.

[Barb]

What a darling, happy-looking pup! I'm glad it brought some joy to you after the sad visit to your ailing mom!

[Mags]

LOL! That's just too, too cute!

[Vesna]

It is sad, but your mother has love and everything she needs. I believe you cannot do more.

[Rob Z]

I believe that your Mum may have known you were there and been comforted just by your presence. And this crazy little face must have been a nice distraction for you on your way home.

[Heather]

A delightful capture! I'm glad it brought you a some relief. It's very sad when our parents decline. In my case, I actually felt unanchored- suspended in shock and sadness. It's such a hard time. Hang in, Hannah! Thinking of you! xx

[Peter Dulis]

oh my

[Babs]

So sorry to hear your Mum isn't doing too well at the moment. I am sure this little dog brightened up your day.

[Renee Salamon]

So cute and yes, it’s good to smile even in our sadness

[Kartia]

That sounds like a tough day. I’m glad you found some solace in that cheerful little face.

[Christine Sztukowski]

So true how animals can comfort us, I am so sorry for your pain

[Jane Pittenger]

So sorry re your mom. Dogs really are a man’s (woman’s) best friend. My son just few home with his new 9 week old puppy

[Corinne C]

So sorry for your Mom. A sweet picture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's failing health. It is so hard to see the ones we love suffer. I'm glad this little fellow brought a smile to your face- some happiness amidst life's lower points.
