Our Active Rain-Kodak Moment-The Day We Brought Winston Home August 17th 1994.

Our Kodak Moment-The Day We Brought Winston Home August 17th 1994.

August 17, 1994 was my Birthday and Jane has bought me an American Cocker Spaniel for my 50th Birthday. We was already 4 months old. He was born May 2 1994. I named him "Winston". His breeder kept him so Jane could surprise me on my Birthday. What a lot of joy, love and happiness Winston brought us for over 16 years.

On October 20th I wrote a Blog here in the Rain About my Friend Winston, he went to Doggie Heaven on Oct 12, 2010.

 I just read about the Kodak Active Rain Photo Contest. I so wanted to enter a photo and share with you all a photo that captured the moment in time with Winston...that was a tough challenge for me. You see we have hundreds of great moment photos of our friend.

The Day we Brought Winston HomeI found our very first Photo which was taken the day he came to our home in August 17th , 1994. This photo really captured the moment Winston arrived in our home and the start of the Joy and unconditional love with our little four legged friend.
So this Photo above is Very Special, as it was the start of a very long and positive friendship.

Winston bonded with us immediately and throughout his life he never complained and took everything in his stride...Follow the Link to my October 20th 2010 Post for more moment photos of Winston...

Thanks for the opportunity to share Winston with you all.....

Merry Christmas to all my Active Rain Friends.

Kodak MomentThis post is written as a submission to the ActiveRain 'Kodak Moments' contest. I have the chance to win the KODAK EASYSHARE M580 Digital Camera
