She imagines he is still lying there on the old red sofa cushion, tail curled over hindquarters, paws over nose. The leash hangs from a tack on the wall, from the special days when the mistress came back early from work with a bright yellow Frisbee in her hand. Sheila remembers the way the mistress would burst into cries of glee as she watched them, Sheila sprinting with her tongue hanging out of her mouth, and Gus trying to intercept her as they both ran to catch the flying yellow disc.  **    The leash hangs from the special days when the mistress came back early from work with a bright yellow Frisbee in her hand…… What does this mean? Hangs from the days……  “From” here, means “since”?    pructus Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 Full Member 429

The leash hangs ... wall, still remaining there from the times when ... It's slightly metaphoric.  Things "come from" the past into the present.
