You remember this dog.

You saw her in many posts, back in 2009, when I sojourned in Cincinnati and lived, for a time, in a little love nest with Meade. She was the dog next door, but Meade borrowed her and took her on many adventures, chasing deer, encountering skunks, and fending off coyotes. Her name was Holly, and I've made a tag to collect the 20+ posts with pictures of her.



She died yesterday.

At the Front Porch Café....

... I'm just leaving, but you can hang out here.

You're leaving?!!......and I'm tied up here?!!!

A note to dog-lovers: The picture was taken last Sunday afternoon, when I sat with her for hours. And we would never tie a dog up and leave it alone.

Snooty, sneezy, or sleepy?

What happened in the twilight down there in the bottoms.

Our resident animation master Chip Ahoy took my photo from the Twilight Café and played out its forboding mood:

At the Twilight Café...

... talk to me about your fears. Last night, I was afraid of coyotes, skunks, poison ivy... scary trees....

The red-winged black coyote.

The black coyote.

At the Sleeping Dog Café...

... don't let sleeping dogs lie. Stir things up! Make trouble. Be wild and outrageous.

At the Dog in Clover Café...

... maybe you'll get lucky.

I reorient myself with respect to the dog.

I'm pretty low-energy today, but I do shift position from time to time.

Picnic with dog and iPhone.

At the Purple Dog Café...

... you can howl and bark and whine all night.

2 good dogs.
