The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

But not yet weary are our feet...

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!

doggy door?

I still don't have one. With the kind of temperatures we get here...I'm a bit hesitant to knock a hole in the wall without experienced help! But if he went to someone who HAD a doggy door...it's true, he'd probably be fine. He's just easily distracted and doesn't like to ask!

Morning, everyone! How are all the pets doing today?

Well...Cleo managed to lick and pull out some of her sutures. Nothing hangin' out and it doesn't look red or anything...

Talked to the vet and he told me to come get an Elizabethan collar to put on her. I picked it up and need to dose her and put it on, but she's nowhere to be found. Sigh. So I'm hoping if I stop searching she'll come out.

Pop open a can of tuna fish....that usually brings my cat out of hiding.

Heh...cornered her and did both the medicating and the collar application. I'm impressed with myself!

Poor kitty, though...now she's walking around banging the collar into things. Hopefully I got it on tight enough to stay but not tight enough to bother her. Gotta corner her again and check...she'll probably hiss at me.

I'll be glad when this is all over and we can be friends again. *snif*

Good Morning All; just back from our walk through the NW quadrant of "the shire", Gypsy is now resting on the denim throw. She paid her respects to a couple of the friendly doggies along the way. LSA took in the groomers and Gypsy is quite a fine looking lady. She responded well to the 'detailing'.
:-)

Annie has brushed up against Gypsy a couple of times during the 'group grooming'. LSA will commence to brush one of the herd, and the other two will come a-runnin' for their share.

Since the rain appears to be holding off for a while, we'll be heading out shortly to kick a few tires.

Sounds like Gypsy is settling in nicely. Got the patio door open and Miss Kitty is checking it out. Think I need to get a soft, comfy kitty lounger to put out there.

Yeah, no kidding...I'm worried because I have to keep taking the thing on and off. She can't really eat with it on, and she hasn't been eating all that much as it is. Not that she would starve in a week's time, anyway...but she wouldn't be able to drink with that on, either, and that's still more of a concern. The doctor said to just take it off when I'm able to keep on eye on her, so she can eat and all that...but what if she doesn't eat and drink right away and I have to go and have to put it back on?

*fret*

As I said, I'll be glad when this is all over...for the time being at least. Just another week or so.

So she's going to have that collar on while you're at work next week? Poor kitty!

It's just until her incision heals a bit...probably Monday and Tuesday. But yes.

And I hate to do it...but the alternative is that she rips out all her stitches...which wouldn't be good, obviously.

So....are you going home at lunch? I'd hate to leav Miss Kitty all day without being able to eat and drink.

Mornin'

Well, my dogs are as always this time of time (curled up on the bed...under the covers). Total contentment (the full bellies from breakfast help that along).

And why wouldn't Gypsy eat up all that attention at the groomers?! All that personal attention -- no wonder the other dogs wanna get their cut.

Elizabethan collars are a hard sort of torture! Zulu had to wear one for an extended time, and she would just lay down and refuse to move. Logan was cool with it, even if he would get stuck under things.

Good Morning!

Hehehe...the "other dogs" are cats.

Miss Cat has finished mooching for now and is curled up under the blankets for a snooze.

Pizza gooooood. Breakfast will finish it off.

No white sauce, though. Sorry.

Dunno. Haven't heard. But he was seeding his lawn about 8 pm last nite. It was dark, but his lawn tractor has little headlights.

We're just back from our errands. Didn't really find what we were looking for, so the morning was kind of a waste. Oh well. Will assemble the gardent this afternoon.
