The photo above shows guide dog Nira enjoying her dog bed at The Hermitage. She’s almost asleep.
This morning she barked at a turtle.
Its hard work being conscious and also unconscious. Carl Jung said so.
Nira knows.
Ah the perfervid dreams of dogs!
Ah the perfervid waking lives of dogs!
Hercules ain’t got nothin’ on Nira!
Here’s to the dog opera! True verismo!

Barked at a turtle? Ivy would have probably run from it. Though she’s been known to bark at snow fences.

Your penchant for photographing Nira reminds me of David Hockney’s comment about why he’s painted so many portraits of his two dachshunds. He said that he’s not painting Stanley and Boodgie, he’s painting his love of Stanley and Boodgie.
