Dateline: 10 July 2018, Pasay City

This Instagram embed was originally intended for (belatedly) welcoming the month of July, which in the Northern Hemisphere, is a month ablaze with summer's heat, or "the dog days of summer." But today, I read from a BFF's Facebook status that his beloved golden passed away, presumably due to kidney complications, while the dog's human was out of the country. Us friends, the doting titos and titas, share in the grief. One day - maybe sooner than we think at the moment - we will rejoice with the repeated retelling of memories of happiness brought about by such a gentle golden retriever.

"Precious and few," I planned to talk about how little time I do get blogging stuff lately. But now, this title seems now more apt to the time humans get to spend and benefit from the lifetime loyalty and unconditional love of their furry babies. (Here's a dog age chart for comparison.)

And for those curious about the music used above, I found it on Youtube.
