The land is wonderful! But there are two disadvantages. One is the simple fact that some people in our consumer culture throw out dogs and cats-literally open car doors and push out unwanted pets. They are animals, right? They can live in the woods. The present census at our house is 5 dogs- 10 cats and we have run out of petless friends. The latest arrived about a month before the election…a sweet rapscallion of a puppy. He has been here long enough to earn a name: Pupperwop. But he needs a family that can shower him with love and attention. There are no vacancies in no-kill shelters so he remains with us awhile longer.<br /> There is a great deal of humanizing that needs to occur in our new world. Some of it is as mundane as caring for pets.</p> As long as we are at leisure and can enjoy conversation about dogs-

Thank you for that.

Rufus sends greetings. I’m afeared this posting of yours will inflate his pretty head. I just caught him on the phone with Podesta angling for a job. Alas, he is non-hypo-allergenic.
