Rocky has a chip.
He learned a new skill today. Hole digging. Also, I gave him one of the big rawhide chews that has a bone shape. He learned off the first one that the rawhide is first rolled before the knots are made of the ends, so he right away began working the shaft to try to unroll it. He may have a hard head, but he is proving to be pretty smart.
I still don't understand. Am I seriously missing something? Facts.. I don't know about.

Anonymously said: I think the world will start to dissolve into thin air. Soon, if not already
Shakespeare said it too in The Tempest...-
"Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind.
We are such stuff As dreams are made on,
and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep"
-William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act 4 Scene 1

I had quit doing lyrics and poems, but the early lines to a new lyric kept pestering me, until I wrote them down. So, I occasionally tinker with it, in the odd moments of the day. It's intended as an anthem for the working man - regardless of the final result. I'm no Thomas Paine, but, neither was he, until he began writing his pamphlets.
I have a project to work on this week - a bench for the garden. It has a planter box on each end. They are quite handsome, the ones I have seen. But the weather, now that it has warmed, out, is wet. I keep hoping for some nice days, as I don't have a covered work space.

When I wrote 'asterisks' in a sentence, in place of the real thing, a friend criticized, and tried to make me change, it. But, it is my right to say what I mean. It is others' right to accept or reject, never to alter.
Rocky has strong separation anxiety, particularly when mrs edgarblythe leaves. I sometimes have to control him while she makes an exit. I hope to figure out a way to make him calm down.
