Here in DogTown, we tend to hang on to older technology for quite awhile, and occasionally things which once seemed useless become functional again.
With a little modification. Sometimes a lot of modification.
I give you, the Macnavox:
One afternoon Coby was here with Grey for a playdate with Fletcher. I asked Coby to stand by the crape myrtle, to give some scale to its massive bloom, and he started improvising like an Old Dominion blue hair, but Fletcher interrupted.
Recently, a fellow rescued-Anatolian-owner remarked, upon viewing some images of my backyard, that it was a relief to see some one else's "desperate grass" - a phrase which so efficiently describes my yard that I continue to repeat it far and wide.
Friday, we went out to the farm, and after a few introductions, almost all of the dogs were released into the main yard. Fletcher's brother Prince was near me and I missed the first burst of freedom from the gate. You can see him run from me over to the rest, who have all gone to greet the 'mama' - Stormy; seen flying to the right on the other side of the fence at the beginning.
