was dog sitting for my parents and just got a new lens for my camera. a leica elmarit-r 135 2.8 if you're curious. ruka is old and losing her sights and sounds. reminds me of how old I'm getting given that they didn't get her until just before i moved out.
she gets confused when I get on the floor but not to pet her. this lens needs her to be 1.5 meters aways to focus, so it took a minute to catch her settled in like this. but she's laying on her favorite bed waiting for her dad to get home and give her some of her favorite treats like he always does with dinner. instead tonight i gave her some treats for siting nice for me in this picture.
she's a real sweetheart. the only struggle was how much she still wanted to climb in my lap and get her belly rubbed like we used to. unfortunately she's to old and achey for that now. any time she tries she ends up hurting herself in the attempt.
time comes for us all, great and small. go love your pets and parents before it's too late.
