To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. Mary Oliver
Walks
Trotting when walking, tail up
Peeing on every bush
Running up to dogs, then ignore them.
Pull back on lead to pee, ages to walk,
Refusing to go, stopping.
Smell all them smells with all his being.
Zen, immersion in the moment, in his senses. He was a spiritual master.
Walking him at Balls Head, Waverton, Brenner Park
Meeting up with other dog owners at the park,
Games
Demon doggie - growling, pulling, shaking his head.
Love of ball. Running for ball for ages and ages.
Panting like a steam train.
At Andreas's party. The kids throwing the ball, entertaining them for ages.
Wrestling. Biting but not hurting.
Chasing after dogs, barking.
Stories
Jumping onto the bed and startling mum when she visited.
Runing after blondes at the park.
Liza and the doggie flap.
Sudden leap onto lap.
Perched on pillow after book from Craig.
Liza finds Mack after runs away.
Meditation bell.
Plastic in poo .
Jumped up to smell bottom.
Ears. Key ring.
Girl in bikini at Manly. Mike impressed.
Loving
Licking my neck
Lie behind my knees
Murmurings of pleasure like a cat purring.
Yip. Yip. Yip. When dream.
Ally and me - between us.
Snoring gently when slept.
Leaps onto lap unexpectedly
Meditation, lie on chest, paw me to come up.
Head or paw onto body.
Ears up, listening intently.
Pure pleasure when stroke tummy, eyes closed, fang out. Would purr.
Sudden lick face,
Want to come on lap.
Mannerisms
Ears up, look intently into distance,
Lick his lips and nose
Break in with computer - he barked and I ignored it.
Tail showing his mood.
Hackles up, chest out. Stance.
Broad chest
Grouchy snap with puppies.
Nose up on covers. To get under.
Frantic scratching of ears
Scratch himself using bed
Wrestle.
High pitched bark when doorbell rang.
Greeting when been away.
Pore at me when want come up onto my lap.
Leap into car.
Shake after pet
Loves

Different moods.
Beg to play.
Love of sun, lie in sunbeam, go onto balcony
Love of heater

Not so happy
Grass seed in neck.
Vet - unhappy.
