is another prize of the Caribbean skies The Scottie is part of a group of Scottish terriers called “Skye” – and hence the name of the art piece. They have rectangular head and body, and a triangular beard of finer texture than the coat. They are confident, feisty and territorial – and hence the nickname “Diehard”. Roosevelt, George W, and the Earl of Dumbarton owned Scotties.

And though I treaded with much trepidation,
I could not stop it
So I dropped the idea to stoppit
And let the hairy hare hoppit

Says Dad “Benji can you wait till the next pole” “Mmm too far” says Benji as he casts his head to the next pole
July 13 2016

Says the dog to Dad “How about the pole next to you?”
Says Dad ” Peeing at that shadow pole is like peeing in the breeze!
But it will be cathartic and you will feel better (for a few minutes) once you have expressed yourself.”
Says the dog “But somebody may see me doing it”

..and it came to pass, as Benji wandered in Goddam city, he saw it was not good.
The big bird folk wandered without a goal, and he saw evil wherever he looked.
And the power of the Mighty One entered his heart saying – “Choose the Noah of all in the city to save our birdkind”

Lessons from dog Walk this am- and salt crystals on the road Human – An innate fear of nature at its extreme
Science – Salt lowers freezing point of water Moral – Influence spreads wider than you know – try to be good Dog-
Don’t let the dog step on the crystals – Causes pain and the stops them dead in their tracks in the middle of the road
For those from “no snow” climates – in preparation for snow and slippery conditions on the roads the towns spread salt xstals to reduce the chances of accidents
Wanted to thank you from the bottom of my paws for helping me avoid the salt, explaining to me why humans put it there, and of course telling me about the importance spreading good influence

While visiting G’pa Hy (Naomi’s Dad) in NJ this weekend – we came across these 3 unique individuals
The praying mantis was in the garden demonstrating the power of stillness, seemingly in quiet contemplation and prayer. The wolf whom we saw in the Lacota wolf preserve is, contrary to folk tales, “intelligent, non-aggressive, and friendly with the ability to make strong emotional attachments”.
The wolf is a social animal and dedicated to the well being of the pack.
And Grandpa.. …an angel on earth – to say the least – has all the above qualities and more – the power of stillness, quietness calm and humility .. “intelligent, non-aggressive, and friendly with the ability to make strong emotional attachments”.
… dedicated to the well being of the pack
And that folks summarises our weekend – of course with Naomi, Talya, Arielle, and Benjy making it all the more pleasurable

“The Black Face mountain sheep are believed to have descended from the wild horned Argali sheep that inhabited central Asia in ancient times. Gradually they spread west through Europe and are thought to have been introduced to mainland Britain by the Danes circa 800AD.” Now they are looking to migrate from Ireland to USA, and hence their painted coats!!

Lichen on a tree stump in the shape of an owl and a pussy cat
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat
BY EDWARD LEAR
I
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
“O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!”
II
Pussy said to the Owl, “You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?”
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
III
“Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.”
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
