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!

Oh, poor Puffy... what a way to go. I hope the dog's owners get what-for.

I was running around outside my side fence, robe flapping, carrying a half-dead chicken and a large butcher knife...

As awful as the situation is, I can't help but worry that my neighbors might think I've lost my marbles.

Good grief! That's awful!

Hugs to you and the boys. Those poor birds.

I'd think that under those circumstances, your appearance and behavior were perfectly understandable.

Heh...yeah, but you know the circumstances...several people drove by and had no idea what had happened! It probably looked pretty strange!

Are the boys up yet?

Yep. Matthew was who alerted me to the noise first.

We just went out there, the boys were standing with Jar Jar. Joshua (who's tenderhearted like Steve) was very upset and just at that time the animal control guy came and took some pictures of the scene.

I just checked Benny over real well. She has a CHUNK taken out of her back...no skin, just muscle and bone. About the size of a silver dollar.

Oh gosh...I don't know what to do!

Oh, dear... maybe you can bandage up Benny and give her a chance? It seems too awful to lose all of them at once.

Oh dear... I hope it's not too bad but it sounds like it is. I've never had a lot of luck nursing anything (birds, rabbits) that've been attacked by one of the cats. The injury and the trauma is just too much.

I think I remember putting neosporin on a chicken that got attacked by a dog...might work.

Ours have never been pets like yours...that makes it so much harder. I hate irresponsible dog owners.
