The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

It's just hard to determine whether it hurts right now, as is. I'd definately do the surgery if it did... if it was weepy or he rubbed it, or didn't like anyone rubbing it, or ~something~. He's scheduled for the surgery, but it's enough money that it matters in the equation that it doesn't seem to bother him.

I can't tell from this angle!

Actually, now that I think of it, perhaps he just had his glaucoma treatment...

There's a thought...

Also I'm on the morning cartoon ping list and plan to pass along the Dick'n'Jane 'shop.

Getting close to closing time around here.

Perhaps they only need to have the BBQ horizons expanded to include other regional delicacies.

For the chef. Yer supposed to start roasting the pig and start sipping on a fifth of Jack Daniels. THe time it takes to finish the fifth and still be stone cold sober is the proper roasting time for a whole pig.

...or was it a pint of Jack Daniels? I'll have to ask my uncle (cooking the pig is traditionally men's work.) I usually do the Western style NC barbecue which uses pork shoulders instead of the whole pig.

Hi Hair-sorry to hear about your poor kitty and dog. I looked up glaucoma in my medical dictionary . Treatments listed are Miotics-(drugs/drops)and even Marijuana (ok we won't go there-lol), or surgical treatments that involve making an incision, or hole, and draining the fluid from the eye, or partial removal to facilitate drainage of the fluid.

These are for people (and might also be expensive as you mentioned)), but veterinary medicine is similar to people medicine in many cases. Maybe removal of the entire eye would be more of an option with animals? Not sure.

My friend has a one eyed cat (he got into a fight, an lost it). He doesn't look bad at all.

Good luck tomorrow, for both your cat and dog. (they are cute.)
