The weekly let down after my round of Ovid has set in, exaggerated by the two day drive-a-thon to Lincoln, Ne and back.\u00a0 Let down may not be the best phrase.\u00a0 An easing up, a lull, a caravan serai.\u00a0 All better.\u00a0 An internal nod to the energy of the week and the things accomplished, a time to enjoy, not focus.<\/p>\n
The Sollie-Rigel wars have not yet fully waned, but they will.\u00a0 Rigel rolled Sollie over on his back last night in the living room.\u00a0 I thought that would settle things, but not wholly.\u00a0 Dogs love to defend passage ways, a door, a cage entrance, a passageway around the couch, a gate.\u00a0 Sometimes that defensive trigger gets punched and restraint soon flies away, giving way to bared teeth, raised ruffs and lots of snarling.\u00a0 Very primal.<\/p>\n
It is, I noticed, much easier to step into the midst of a fight when the contenders all weigh 100 pounds or less.\u00a0 When the Wolfhounds fought, Tor and Orion for instance, it was 180 pounds against 180 pounds.\u00a0 Puny human of not much account.\u00a0 That’s the time for buckets of cold water.\u00a0 Works surprisingly well.\u00a0 When I got tired of the posturing last night, I barked myself, put a hand on Rigel’s collar and another on Sollie’s and finished it.<\/p>\n
My leeks and herbs have not started.\u00a0 Not sure what I did wrong, I might have fouled up on getting the potting soil wet enough.\u00a0 Or something.\u00a0 But, I have to start over at any rate.\u00a0 A weekend task.<\/p>\n
Each domain, vegetables, dogs, perennials, bees, Latin, art, politics, friendships, family has an inexhaustible number of lessons to teach us.\u00a0 Staying open to learning is so important.\u00a0 And sometimes pretty damned hard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
