Film Synopsis:

This lavish historical drama based on the acclaimed novel by Rose Tremain won Oscars for Costume Design and Art Direction. Robert Downey, Jr. stars as Robert Merivel, a gifted medical student of the 17th century who ignores his studies in favor of pursuing debauched fun -- much to the consternation of his high-minded Quaker colleague John Pearce (David Thewlis).

Merivel achieves the high societal status he covets when he's summoned by King Charles II (Sam Neill). Merivel is chagrined to find that he's expected to care for the king's ailing Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, but the dog rallies and Merivel joins court. When one of Charles' mistresses, Celia (Polly Walker) becomes uppity, Charles arranges her marriage to Merivel.

In return for keeping Celia in a pretend marriage, he receives an estate and knighthood. Merivel, however, falls in love with Celia and, betrayed by an eccentric painter (Hugh Grant), inspires the king's wrath. Banished and stripped of his wealth,

Merivel rediscovers love with an Irish mental patient (Meg Ryan). He also rediscovers his passion for medicine during London's Great Fire and the Black Plague.

It was this film upon viewing it in late 1997 that convinced me to acquire a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel whom were made famous by King Charles II portrayed in this film by Sam Neill.

My dog Lucky came from Ireland, the breeders of these dogs in the UK are of the highest standards compared to here in the States where they are not breed with such strict standards and love.

As we are all aware life is truly a journey a life fraught with both happiness and despair, love and hate and all the other emotions that flow around and over us on this path we travel.

Life is finite and must end, for some it ends earlier than others and for those the passing stings like a cold wintry breeze.

My beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Lucky traveled a long road with me and comforted me with unconditional love, never judging me or my actions and standing steadfastly by my side through all things great and small.

His journey with me was blessedly not a short one, but indeed a long one, but his passing on September 17th, 2012, was still no less painful.

With heavy heart and soul I dedicate this soundtrack to my dog Lucky.

Lucky Dawg (1998-2012)

I'm sorry for your loss, my friend.
I have a dog and I think I can feel your pain.

Thank you my dear friend Petros for your kind words last year, hard to believe that in 8 days time it will have been a year since my dog Lucky's passing.

My dear friend, allow me to dedicate this marvelous song to Lucky:
Manos Hadjidakis - Serenade (1974) [320]

Petros thank you for the dedication song.

The title is a bit strange but what a beautiful piece of music.

It's heard in an outrageous scene in Dusan Makavejiev's film "Sweet Movie".

Thanks a lot for this excellent post Wilwood and i'm very sorry about your deep loss.
I know what you mean. A dog is not just a pet.....is another part of your family.

No problem PM on the way.

Listening to this soundtrack again today on this "special" day.

Indeed.
This is a "special" day, my dear friend.
I know and my feelings are with you.

Thank you my friend, I'm not typically a sentimental/emotional guy but today I am just a bit.

Another year..where does the time go?

I didn't want to remind you of that day,
but it seems you haven't forgotten it.
Yes, two years have passed...

No I haven't forgotten, many good memories of my dog as well so it's a bittersweet reflective day.

Was thinking of my dog today I have a friend who must make the decision to end the pain her dog is enduring today.

A fabulous soundtrack.

Tomorrow will be 4 years since I lost my dog Lucky, he's still very much missed but this beautiful soundtrack reminds me of our time together.

I’m so sorry for your loss, my very dear friend.
Please accept my condolences, late though it is .

Miss you Lucky!

You're still very much loved.

Love, Papa

From one Papa to another:
I understand your sentiments, my friend.
By the way, the new photos are great!

Thanks dear friend Petros!
