was Work Away day for me and Good Dog Tay spent that time in her Breathing Star crate with a marrow bone.    and i have no Energy for details of all the day held which was a lot with Tazmeena the cat deciding to make a stand instead of drama and it working out fine and with Tay trying to understand why what she does out of Happiness isn't ok.  Too Much and Thunder Man is over there just to the West on that Rim

and i had asked Kathy Dorfer to purchase a Crow Eye over a week ago…like the one Mo has.  It probably arrived Friday or Saturday but i didn't get to the post office till this morning but the Timing was oh so right…today was the day to receive it.  Maybe you remember that Roz made me two very small rectangle forms,  one silver with the triangle and the dot,  one copper with the Goat, and i strung them on black tailor's button thread,  wear them.  The silver now completely black from my sweat.  So i will put the Crow Eye on the same thread.  Needing energy of this trickster.  And would write more about this kind of doing if i could, but i can't…it's not here right now.  About how i gave up "signaling intention"  some years ago, like over 10,  maybe 12, maybe 13,

but that it's rising up again.   And the Crow's Eye is now on my breast.  

I don't yet love this dog.  But i know I CAN.  She is who she is.  She is Dog.  She is Crow.  She is Goat, even.  so similar.  Goat.  She is Goat.

this morning, before leaving, i had strung a black string,  same as the "necklace" string, from this.  Hung it on the beam that holds the ceiling of the house and the Room in place.   When i got back,

with Kathy's package,  i added the Crow feather that she sent.   I am just staring.  staring.  staring.

Tay, tethered for Bad Behavior.  Just moments,  before this,  seconds really,  Chinche was lying no more than 6 ft from her.

    i called Dorothy, the longstanding Animal Shelter person who had fostered this dog since her very YOUNG puppyhood, like just from weaning. Told her of this dilemma…the intensity of her, Tay. and listened to her talk of how although she has 5, FIVE dogs, Tay hadn’t been able to participate with any. She had a very organized world. Everyone is according to some kind of uhhhh, scheduled doings. Tay had her own kennel outside. but was put in it before any of the other dogs were out. She could WATCH them, but not TOUCH them.
    I think of my geatgrandson Julian who was here just a little while ago and who kept wanting Chinche to be friends like his own dog Zoey is. But Chinche wouldn’t. She would squeal, run, hide. Julian’s intention was only to make friends. Chinche was Chinche and it didn’t work. Here, we have Tay. Just trying to make friends and Chinche…well…sort of but also sort of not. So….Yes.
    Let it Unfold. If it can’t work, then ok. But if there is any way it can, then, oh, yes, OK !!!!!!!!!!!

    I have watched the Dog Whisperer (Cesar Millan) on Netflix with rapt attention, and felt like I learned a lot from him. While his training is not my style (nor, I imagine, yours) he knows dogs like no one I have ever seen. He knows the logic and rules of their world. He does Alpha like a champ, and I enjoy watching him work. Good luck with your new companion. I hope she works out.

    returned last night late to a shocking scene (will blog about it), had a fall at the start of my trip on the 19th (posted about it today). Reconnected this morning almost reluctantly, but had missed you and Jude of course, thought of you when I photographed grasses especially…caught up on your posts–LOVE all the work and musings and photographs…and you!–My dog knowing people always said that when introducing a new animal to an established home…make much of the old animal, reinforcing it’s security as the first one. The new one will find it’s way into that pecking order, and will take your lead about it. Hope it works out. She looks like she belongs.

    i wish you a calm fresh night
    with sleeping dogs
    and a cat who is o.k. with her self
    goats who enjoy the warm nights
    and you ….
    is wish you have contemplation
    and the shine of the inner light
    that’s more than the reflection of light from the moon
    may fresh air come closer for a breath
    light over al of you

    this is so Great, that you mention Cesar Millan. and i know that Yvette has such high regard and i remember daughter
    Jenny watching watching watching when she was training the oh so Elegant Livestock Guardian Dog, Kadir, an Anatolian Shepard who the neighbor in California shot. Dog Whisperer. So FAR from that calm i am. but just seeing him work….it makes such a difference. THANK YOU for reminding me…i’d forgotten. I want so much for her to work out. So much.
