But the greatest view would be of the ... is it sprites? those flashes of light seen from space of electrical discharges above thunderstorms? What a view that would be.
And just a note before I close (it's already 9:11). Mikaela might just be the greatest dog that ever lived. I am a cat person first and foremost. A bird person second. A horse person third and a dog person last of all. Mikaela might change all that. This morning, with some cheap dental tools I got from somewhere years ago, I chipped off some plaque from her teeth. Her teeth are pretty good, especially for a greyhound, but there is a bit of plaque. Mikaela stood like a statue while I chipped away. I didn't do much. Why make a problem where there isn't one? Even so, her beautiful manners are breathtaking.
As is her love. She is the most loving dog I have ever met. Loving without slavishness, if that makes sense. She doesn't throw herself upside down at your feet and whine. She isn't needy in that way. There's a quiet dignity in her affection; a laying of her head in my lap or against my chest. Giving and receiving. She affects me more than any dog I have ever known. And that is in less than two weeks. 9:22pm
I’ve been a dog person for years. :)
