Much has happened in the world of Third Dog.

She has gone to both school and work. With her searching eyes and endearing groan it grows more difficult to leave her alone at times. Since I am self-employed she has gone to work with me on several occasions and she achieves in my truck, a level of comfort never experienced by the first two dogs. Perhaps we were over-protective. Perhaps with two kids battling for dominance in the car we simply didn’t have the patience or the space. Third Dog, however, enjoys the ride. (more…)

i read that it is gravity that binds stone
across the field and woodland
but I know it to be
now
and then
held in awkward embrace
and separated only by
our poor efforts made
without this understanding
as if all it was
and all it is
might be gravity that binds stone
across the field
and across the woodland
and not now
and not then
sealed in
perfect
eternal
embrace.
