Sarah and Gladstone Fear Him
Our pup, Boo, is a terror.
Dont believe me?
Ask some of the Old Ones who visit us. I previously wrote regarding Boos dislike of opossum. No idea why he dislikes such wonderful creatures. Certainly nothing weve done.
Most recently Boo had issues with another mated pair of Coyote, Sarah and Gladstone.

Character is… (Part 2.4) – Shading is…
This is the sixth in an ongoing series of StoryCrafting/StoryTelling posts Im publishing for my own benefit; explaining something helps me determine if Ive truly learned it or am simply parroting what others have offered. I learn my weak spots, what I need to study, et cetera.

Boo does not like Opie
Our dog, Boo, has issues with some wildlife.
Were not sure why.
Weve never encouraged it. Quite the opposite. Were open and friendly with all the Old Ones who visit.
Some times Boo is asleep, wakes up, and sees me going out to say hello.

Sabine Rossbach Reading Excerpts from Cymodoce
I am blessed to have friends who perform kindnesses for me.
Case in point, Sabine Rossbach.
Sabine is a gifted and well-known stage, , and television actress in the EU (shes quite tolerant of me butchering French, German, Italian, and even English in our exchanges).
