11/11: Rememberance Day

Posted by: The Agnew Family
At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we stood in silence and listened to the church bells toll think of those who died for us to keep our country free. Ed and my minds wandered a little and thought about someone very special to us that passed away a couple of months ago.
It was good to see a lot of people at the cenotaph for the service.
Legion members carried the flags.
The pipe band lead the procession back to the Legion.
Ed just finished going through the old negatives scanning photographs of pets, people and important events. I thought I'd share a few old photos of Zaph.
Zaph's first canoe ride. Zaph understood that you stayed in the boat and never once tried to jump into the water from a boat.
Zaph and his favourite toy when he was a pup.
Resting during a hike in Algonquin Park.
Zaph loved playing with kids. He would do whatever they did. I think Zaph thought he was a kid.
Zaph might have needed a boost but he made it onto the raft.
Zaph loved pool parties --- OK he loved the pool. If no one would throw his ball into the pool, he'd roll the ball into the pool and wait for it to float to the middle of the pool. Then he'd jump in and grab it, then swim to the steps. He'd keep repeating this till someone took the ball away.
Zaph loved the water and swimming but he also loved the snow. Nothing was better than a romp in the snow with your favourite ball.
