The choice of film wasn’t good this afternoon Women Talking was worthy and painful and an acting masterclass but boy was it grim .
So today, the lightest moment came from Roger
Two male blackbirds have been fighting in the garden with pre spring hormones and Roger, fascinated in the fisticuffs sat himself comfortably in the kitchen doorway to watch them for an absolute age
I photographed him and realised I love him even more than I thought I did
He is so very sweet.
ReplyDeleteHe is , I have loved all of my male welsh terriers so very much , they , unlike any other dog or breed have a gentleness about them
Deletesweet roger the love of a great dog. love comes with adoration. suzy
ReplyDeleteWe should all take time to be like Roger more often I believe x
ReplyDeleteAnother new experience for him. Who couldn't love him, he's such a sweetie! xx
ReplyDeleteIs sitting in an open doorway watching a common thing in Welsh Terriers? Elsie does it and is infuriating in the winter, letting all the cold air in.
ReplyDeleteYes…welsh terriers watch everything
DeleteI think most dogs would have chased those birds off.
ReplyDeleteI think most dogs would have chased those birds off.
ReplyDeleteI think is a terrier thing? Emma
ReplyDeleteAnother worthy example to follow: sit, enjoy the scenery, and let the breeze blow by you. Smart Roger!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Dogs intrigue me. I think they think more than we realise (unlike what I think about many humans)
ReplyDeleteThe tug in the heart when looking at a beloved animal is pure love. They can't hurt us like humans do and accept everything we give/do to them.
ReplyDeleteRoger is alert to his surroundings and he seems to take everything in. It is also nice that he chose to sit and watch rather than chase away the birds.
ReplyDeleteWatching blackbirds scrapping must be far more entertaining than watching "The Masked Singer".
ReplyDeleteAnd how could you not love him?? Sweet boy. Jen
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the book, I would absolutely not go to see the movie. Too much.
ReplyDeleteI like Roger's attitude- be here now. Watch the world as it unfolds.
Sweet boy Roger.
ReplyDeleteLost in his own little world.
ReplyDeleteI love his pose, so relaxed. I think watching is a terrier thing. My JR when growing up was either sat on his own dining room chair in the bag frog window in winter or standing on the garage door in summer, always watching. And all our generations of shelties were serious people watchers too.
ReplyDeleteHe looks very content with his world, and so he should - he knows he is loved.
ReplyDeleteHaven't you got the other dogs now? Dorothy and Mary?
ReplyDeleteOf course I have
DeleteI adore him too and if he live next door he could call my house 'home' whenever he chose to.
ReplyDeleteGrim? Read "Shuggie Bain" .I know Weaver has read it too and she struggled through it too. I said I wouldn't read another of Douglas Stuart's books if he wrote another. But I did.. "Young Mungo" is a kind of romance between 2 boys.Mungo coming to realise that he was gay. I really enjoyed this one. Both books are touching in their own way.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetie
ReplyDeleteLovely capture John, he looks content and almost human like here. Can see Roger is and will continue to be a great addition to the Gray tribe!
ReplyDeleteOh, he is just too cute sitting there like that......what a lovely boy!
ReplyDeleteSorry John - the comment about making my house his home above is from me - not anon. Weaver
ReplyDeleteYour lovely sweet boy! It's strange how suddenly we can realise just how much we do love someone.
ReplyDeleteNow that truly is a picture that paints a thousand words and feelings, no wonder he is so adored. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteI love how much you love Roger. Although SG’s cousin recommended Women Talking, I don’t know if I’m ready for a read like that.
ReplyDeleteI am late to the party with a comment on this post but couldn't resist. I read the book for a college course, which was quite the deep and sorrowful experience, so I won't be seeing the film. Despite it being a bit harrowing, I do recommend reading the book because it delves so deeply into the philosophical concepts around the subject matter.
