The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

We've been talking about a second dog for some time. We were thinking about a youngish/puppy type critter, but hadn't done any series looking. Over the weekend, I started checking the Petfinder site. We saw a few likely candidates.

Sunday afternoon I decided to search the SPCA site, since they have a location about 5 miles from home. There were several older/juvenile puppies that looked vey cute. They were all gone by the time the adoption office opened yesterday.

So I get this phone call. Miss Sadie is about 4 months old. She is supposed to be a Chatahoula Cattle Dog/Rottie mix. She looks much more like an Australian Shepard to me.

She is extremely affectionate, and loves the attention, especially from Bitty Girl.

Chelsea appears to be very glad to have a pal again. She's been an only dog for about two years.

I think I'll try to rent it. Blockbuster might have it, or it might all get rented out.

Otherwise, I'll probably see it tomorrow... or Thursday... or I'll have to wait until I get home.

SECOND the no spoilers request. If you spoil, I'll ask g'nad to put you on his "shoot on sight" list for Entmoot.
