Dogs are our link to paradise.
They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.
To sit with a dog on a hillside
on a glorious afternoon
is to be back in Eden,
where doing nothing was not boring
-- it was peace.

Beautiful pictures... beautiful animal. I wouldn't like to live in a world without animals.

Thanks, Tulle. I just began clicking, and a couple came out really nice. Most were just a blur of fur! I don't think I've ever enountered a happier dog than Cinnamon.
Like anyone or anything in God's creation, animals have a lot to teach us. The dog I had before coming to the monastery certainly taught me much.
Blessings on your upcoming retreat.

A blur of fur... nice :)
Thanks for the blessings, I surely need them since it has proven difficult to get time off from work, so now I don't know if I can go at all. I live in the hope.
I have learned from animals always... they are wonderful teachers about what is really important in life. I would love to have a dog, but due to long hours at work that is not possible. I have beautiful and very lovely cats who give so much love, fun and laughter. Wonderful comfort on a down-day.
I do remember having read about your own dog, and how hard it was for you to give it up. I am sure it sits up there, keeping an eye on you.
FRED meaning PAX to you
Tulle.
Tak!
