I was listening to a dog behaviour expert on national radio. He was explaining that humans have to respect the animal’s doginess and give them opportunities to indulge in the purpose for which they were bred. Greyhounds need to run, retrievers need to fetch, shepherds need to herd. Scotties were bred to kill rodents and I controlled my reaction last night when Ms.Grace hunted and killed a mouse in the house. I respected her Scottiness and dutifully cleaned up the many mouse turds and hair that were the byproducts of the hunt. I never thought I’d say it, but Bryant’s method of mouse hunting by blow dart gun was a lot more efficient and probably easier on the mouse.
I’ve started knitting with Granbia; a new yarn to love:
It’s vibrant but not so shocking as it looks in the photo. The colours remind me of a British Columbia November sunset.
