Looking Ahead

Old dog, silvery muzzle
Lifts his head
When I put on my coat.
Heaven for him
Is going to be
An endless walk
With me.–ALB

Sophia’s age-mate Rita died yesterday. Great sadness.

excellence, heart, injury

Sophie used to retrieve on land. She can’t do that anymore. She goes at it too hard. Adapted that to plain running. Me on a bike, Sophie running alongside. That is out now, she goes lame, the impact aggravates her arthritis. The only place she is free now is in the water.

question for wordpress users: can you tell me how to change the way sidebar displays? It comes over on top of photos, I’d like the photos to dominate… Is there a way to make the sidebar narrower?
