Ulani's birthday!

Eight years ago today, ten puppies were born to Roxy and Omerta. These are the five girls. And second from the right, keeping her head just a little higher than the rest? That's U La La Ulani de Guerande!

I wanted to post a new photo today, but it's pouring rain. Instead, please enjoy these baby photos of my little eight-year old. The babiest photos were taken by Ulani and Oskar's breeder, Veronique Mauroux. Thanks, V, for filling my house with Briards!

On solitude and chickens

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. -- Thoreau

I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other. -- Rilke
As innocent as a new-laid egg. -- W. S. Gilbert
Raising children is like being pecked to death by chickens. --Anonymous, but my mother gave it to me!
Language...has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone. --Paul Johannes Tillich
Life begins when you plant a garden. -- Chinese proverb
The great omission in American life is solitude...that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit. --Marya Mannes
If you were born lucky, even your rooster will lay eggs. -- Russian proverb
When the superficial wearies me, it wearies me so much that I need an abyss in order to rest. --Antonio Porchia
Cocks may crow, but it's the hen that lays the eggs. -- Attr. Margaret Thatcher
I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. -- Henry David Thoreau
