On Patrol of the Lighter Side

I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend. (J.R.R.Tolkien, The Two Towers)

When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force.

Peek-A-Boo

We're dog sitting again. This is Peek-A-Boo, a Papillon/Shih Tzu mix that belongs to my oldest son Brandon and his wife Misty.

Peek-A-Boo's first tour of the house had her barking and growling at our dog and deer figurines. Unlike Harley , Peek-A-Boo is very active and always has her nose into something. It should be a very interesting week.

THE TAIL OF TWO DOGS

Harley

Sadie

Eric and Heather are going to be gone for a week so we are dog sitting their Yorkie Harley. Harley spends his time at the front door looking for Eric and Heather and Sadie spends hers at the back door watching for Harley.
