Information on working terriers, dogs, natural history, hunting, and the environment, with occasional political commentary as I see fit. This web log is associated with the Terrierman.com web site.
Excerpts "Twa Dogs. A Tale." -- by Robt. Burns (Translated to Standard English)
His locked, lettered, lovely brass collar Showed him the gentleman and scholar; But although he was of high degree, The fiend of pride, no pride had he; ...
The other was a ploughman's collie, A rhyming, ranting, raving rollicking young friend, Who for his friend and comrade had him, And in his youth had Luath named him, After some dog in Highland song, Was made long past - Lord knows how long...
Good friends Caesar, the scholarly Newfoundland, and Luath a working collie, have a long conversation about the stark contrast between the working man and wealthy land owners in 1786 Scotland. Everyone should try to swing an invite to a Burns Dinner. An unforgettable experience. Happy Burns Night, Patrick.
