Home and Hound

Homes both large and modest, lavish or plain, cold or hot, all benefit greatly with the presence of a hound in my crumbled opinion.  A creature that loves you unconditionally, absolutely openly and freely.  One that inspires and entertains you, and, and, and I, dear reader have acquired such a creature.  One that is light, fleet of foot, unencumbered and open like the sky.  An earth bound sprit, friend, guide, living work of art and personal inspiration.  Her name is Rowen.  

She is a great house hound, wise beyond her age...

...and seemingly comfortable in almost any position.  

Rowen finds great comfort at home, a lounge master to be sure but there is another place where she seems to become vividly and fully alive. She is very comfortable in almost any place in the house but she seems to have an older home that nourishes her.  That place is the great house of nature which is, to my great joy and enrichment, is someplace she's willing to share with me.  

Whether it's in the house, the field or forest, I feel quite blessed to share space & time with this magnificent creature. I try to do my best to fully understand and live up to my part of this cross species friendship.  

A wonderful thing a whippet is...

                       ...and I am over the moon with this one.
