The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Then world behind and home ahead
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |
|

Is Ramiusis Ramius' evil twin? ;-)
To: RosieCotton
LOL! Yes, he's the one who won't let me have a dog.
Good twin Ramius would let me.

Well, ~you~ were supposed to find a stray and offer it to us. That's what we were planning on happening. :-D
We entertained the notion of dognapping Homer, but didn't want ecurbh to show up in cami-clothing and a large weapon to get him back.

When the time is right, the dog will appear. ;-)
I confess to visiting the shelter more times than I admitted here. Though...Cisco was there from the beginning. Poor baby... I still don't know why he was there as long as he was (from his paperwork, something like two months), considering they aren't a no-kill kind of place. Someone liked him, I guess.
And thinking about that side of things just makes me sick to my stomach. There are plenty who aren't as lucky.
To: Corin Stormhands
hehehehe....
It's unnecessary. We all have it seared into our memories. ;-)

I know it. So heartbreaking.
But from what I've seen so far, good dogs are usually snatched up quickly. It's the ones with behaviorial issues that take longer to get placed.
And it is importart that it be the ~right~ dog since we have kids and will be visiting folks with other critters from time to time.

You know, I really don't understand it in his case. He was sweet and friendly and no wilder than many of the other dogs there, especially considering the tight quarters and the noise - and considerably more attentive. He did look kinda scruffy, and maybe that was part of it. I'm not complaining...I just don't get it!
He's learned two (useless but fun) new tricks in the last week: "crawl" and "turn around" (he spins around once).
To: RosieCotton
I think that border collies have a reputation for being insanely hyper and folks shy away from that.
It's a mystery to me. Border collies are really sweet.

The border I had for awhile that I found by the road wasn't hyper, but he was obsessively ~focused~ in exactly the way Cisco isn't. He followed and stared and me ALL THE TIME. I don't even think he blinked :~)
Cisco's definately hyper, but he's not rough and hyper, he doesn't knock you down.... Although he could use another dog just like him to play with all day :~) Homer's good, but he poops out.
Since Gidget's been on Rimadyl, she's been playing with Cisco a little more... sortof :~)

Maybe that's it. "Border Collie" isn't mentioned on any of his paperwork, but it's pretty obvious, I think. Except for the ears and the shorter fur, he's all Border.
I'm curious how my sister's puppy will turn out, looks and personality wise. She's more German Shepherd than border collie, though.
To: HairOfTheDog
Heh....a dog that stares at you all the time is disconcerting. I don't think I could live like that. :-)
They had a couple of border collie mixes at the Humane Society, but they were pretty spazzy.
