Things She Loves

Riding in the cruiser,

a cool swim,

and riding home again.

 

 A long walk in the bush,

 

her family,

 

a long walk in the snow,

 

and good friends.

What is the sum of the four commandments

which contain our duty to God?

Recent dog blogging:

• Dorothy posts a video of Tobi the Maltese performing his whole repertoire of impressive tricks.
  
• In the comments, Leslie left a link to a heart-warming story about a heroic dog who protected his family from a poisonous snake and nearly lost his own life. Very brave!
• Tim Irvin sent two photos of a pit bull who had a nasty run-in with a porcupine. Very foolhardy!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Yes, apparently these are real photos of a real porcupine encounter. I found the details at Snopes.com, where I learned that this incident happened on Victoria Day weekend of 2005. According to Inca’s owner, her dog simply kept on attacking the porcupine and would not give up!

  She had thousands of quills, and her tongue was so covered that she could not close her mouth.

  These photos were taken by the vet before the quills were removed. Some could not be removed and had to be left to work themselves out over time, while others had to be cut out and the cuts stitched up after removal. Poor doggy! 

Friday is the last day of the month, so if you have something you want to contribute to the Dog Days of February, Friday is your deadline.

Here are a few suggestions.
