Doom and Gloom

Here's a good one for falconers, hound- hunters, and, well, everyone:

"Des chiens, d'oyseaux, d'armes, d'amours,

Pour une joye, cent doleurs".

Gace de la Vigne

("In hounds, hawks, arms, and love, for every joy a hundred sorrows")

Who was it who said, "all dog stories are sad stories"?

Same feeling.

With dogs, it's that their lives are so short compared to ours, and yet we love them and they love us.

With hawks, it is that they can so easily FLY AWAY and try so hard to get killed-- especially the good ones.

I think I'll keep my mouth shut about "amours'....

Hi Stev

It's just the total, unconditional " Charitable " love commitment of a Dog which breaks your heart when they go.

A House is not a Home without a dog!
