THE BEST PLACE TO BURY A DOG

"There is one best place to bury a dog.
"If you bury him in this spot, he will
come to you when you call - come to you
over the grim, dim frontier of death,
and down the well-remembered path,
and to your side again.

"And though you call a dozen living
dogs to heel, they shall not growl at
him, nor resent his coming,
for he belongs there.

"People may scoff at you, who see
no lightest blade of grass bent by his
footfall, who hear no whimper, people
who may never really have had a dog.
Smile at them, for you shall know
something that is hidden from them,
and which is well worth the knowing.

"The one best place to bury a good
dog is in the heart of his master."

--- Ben Hur Lampman ---

Don't know what got me thinking about my grand-mother, and how my cousins and I would play 'horse' at her house, she kept a collection of old brooms just for us, and we'd play for hours on end with them. Do children do that sort of thing anymore? I don't think they do.

I need to clear the junk off the tread mill and do some walking... I've gained back all the weight I lost, plus 5 more... now my clothes don't fit any more... I am NOT happy about this.

What's your word?

Your Word is "Peace"

You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of. Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you. While you can't stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life. You promote harmony and cooperation. You're always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.

What's Your Word?

This one is a tad better, but leaves disconnected from stems are a bit odd looking... I'm going to add more darks to this one... and see what happens.

A really nice standard poodle, and a Puli from the herding group (I liked the Shelty in that group), and the Scottish Deerhound from the Hound group... and a Scottish Terrier... The Scottish breeds did very well last night.

Dixie and I have had a busy day today... She was a little confused with the first one, but has settled down and is going to be a good mother...and thankfully it is a very small litter.
