The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

Cute...but probably a monster. ;-)

I'm not sure I'll go the little-dog route again.

For one, it's awfully nice to have a dog that almost doesn't bark...instead of the polar opposite.

Ok, must bookmark as "not the sort of dog I am getting".

Thank goodness at least one other person in the Hobbit Hole can see the cuteness of a smushed-face.

Ramius was telling me last night that these type of dogs look like they chase parked cars. :-)

I don't like little dogs... just personal preference. And I prefer handsome dogs to cute ones, though I can see how those are cute.

Believe it or not, I'm not a fan of little dogs either.

Pekes are an exception only because I've had them before and they're just terrific - well, some of them.

It's all in fun anyway. Ramius would be mortified if I had one of those in our home.

That's very true.

I never liked mini schnauzers until I actually hung out with one. Same goes for dachshunds.

I'd love to have another Basset Hound one day. They're wonderful. And I don't think they qualify as a "little dog".

But I just happened to "find" one, you'd let me keep it, right?

Bassetts are cute because they look like cartoons. None of the proportions are right.

Doxies I don't have a good experience with :~0 Yet...

But Scotties... I like. They aren't a good dog, they're a riot.

My brother had a dog that was ~mostly~ Scottie. The dog was a lunatic.

Lovable. But crazy.

I've known a couple of mini schnauzers. Major personality...though the two were very different.

Dachshunds are entertaining but insane. At least, that's how the five or so I've known now have been. I dunno that I'd want to have 'em again.

Personally, though, I'd say Lab/Border Collie mixes are just about perfect. Not that I'm biased or anything.

Dalbradors are awfully nifty too. ;-)

Bob and Kay's was nuts too... Chased the horses... got stomped... got stitched up... chased the horses... got stomped... got bandaged up.

They gave it to a co-worker of Kay's just to keep the vet bills down, I think :~D

I just love retrievers. I think I want something that's at least mostly retriever.

Just not a retriever/chihuahua mix.

Zulu was a pretty fru fru looking dog... and Ramius liked her. We can all laugh at the silliness of some dogs, but no person with a heart can actually resist the one on their lap.
