Mu and Rhubarb.

This is Muireann my only child. She was about 6 when this photo was taken and Rhubarb was her constant companion. Mu could read and write when she was 3 and we educated her at home. Now she has Phd in some branch of literature. I dont get to see her much as she likes to travel in remote places and she claims not to like America; too bland, she says. Poor old Rhubarb is long dead and I mourn him as I do all my past dogs.

Thanks Annette, She was a beautiful experience but I dont see her now as she follows her own path in this world. Frank.

She must be a breathtaking woman by now!! Cute shot Frank!

Artist Reply: I have no recent shots of her as she lives in Europe and has no taste for America. Thank you Jean.

aahhhww.. what a great tribute. LOOK AT THAT CHILD!! Everything is too big on her! Fantastic! She's a "wonder child"! Love this picture of your daughter and dog... But she should see her parents more often...Do you talk to her? That must be a pain not to see her on a regular base... A free spirit? She looks like one!! GREAT PICTURE FRANK!!--

Artist Reply: I actually dont remember taking this picture, but then I took so many, why would I? Thanks for looking.

A beautiful child, who seems full of thought, an awsome pet to keep her days joyful, they all grow up and away.

Artist Reply: She was a great child and she has grown away from me. But a father's love never dies and hope springs eternal. Thanks for looking.

she so sweet...

Artist Reply: She has been a lovely daughter and is her own person. I hardly ever see her due to geography. Thanks for looking.

great photo.........it is so nice to have our photos to remember times gone by........thanks for sharing this memory with us

Artist Reply: I have books of photos as most people do but I am leery of showing them as I am not a photographer, but that was special> Thanks for the comment Mayme.

You know how some say that people and their dogs bear a resemblence? How true here...both a rusy, free spirited hair. I think these two have travelled many a lifetime together. Both magnificent creatures. Is she still as beautiful today??

Artist Reply: It is no use asking me because I am biased in her favour.She is a lovely girl and I haven't met her for 2 years because she travels in Russia, China and other parts of Europe. I am here in the States. when we will meet again is more than I can say. Thanks for looking.

Phil Cashdollar 28 Jan 2007

She's lovely, you must miss her greatly. She must get her good looks from her mother.

Artist Reply: You tread on dangerous ground there Phil, she resembles us both, I have to say, but she got my heavy boned body. Thanks for looking.

Jerry 28 Jan 2007

Lovely picture!

Artist Reply: Thanks for looking, Jerry, at the apple of my eye.

Alberto D'Assumpcao 27 Jan 2007

Splendid capture and wonderful story, Frank!

Artist Reply: I have been hoarding that for a while since I rediscovered it in a drawer. Thanks for looking Albert.

Emily Reed 27 Jan 2007

WHAT A TOUCHING STORY, FRANK! SHE IS ALL IRISH!

William Boyer 27 Jan 2007

Carliss Mora 27 Jan 2007

Frank, Mu was a charmer then, and I'll bet she still is! What a fanatstic photo, and thanks for sharing it!

Artist Reply: That little girl can twist my heart Carliss, it's a part of Parenthood. Thanks.

Nelly van Nieuwenhuijzen 27 Jan 2007

Artist Reply: I have loads and I hardly ever look otherwise my own throat would too lumpy for conversation.Thanks for looking Nelly.

Lucia Stewart 27 Jan 2007

Lawrence Hickman 27 Jan 2007

intresting and very well done great job

Artist Reply: I was using a sentimental love lens. Thanks for the comment.

Trinton Garrett 27 Jan 2007

Did you just point and click on this? I was asking cause I think there might be just a bit to much "noise/busy" in the back ground. Other then that it is a great picture.

Artist Reply: To be honest, I took so many pictures of Mu that I have no memory even of what camera I used. The noise might be emanating from my brain because this was taken behind "Dick Mack's Pub." and that also means I'd had one or even several black pints of the Guinness variety. Thanks for looking.
