Monday Half Duck Toller-Spitz

Description

Monday was a really great dog. She understood about 35 commands, two whistles and a few hand signals.

She was roughly 8 months old when we got together and the next 10 years would cover over 6,000 miles through 3 provinces on top of thousands, maybe several thousand blocks and dozens of parks.

Through her charming personality, she allowed me to meet and shoot the breeze with an incredible array of people including Alanis Morrissette before she took off for LA and Alexei Yashin before he played a single NHL hockey game. People generally recognised her (not me) in the neighbourhoods where I lived.

This photo was taken in an Okanagan apple orchard on my way to Kelowna. I remember thinking when I took the shots at this location, that they were the ones I was going to remember her by. It was perfectly the way I wanted to express what she meant to me.

She found me on the Byward Market in Ottawa on August 8, 1989 and she passed away after a bout with cancer on August 28, 1999. This month was the 8th anniversary of her passing. I just miss her. She was really a cool dog.
