"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Separated at Birth?
I finally figured out who the Roman- nosed Chinese "Xigou" hounds reminded me of: the late Edward Gorey's Doubtful Guest. Look at those profiles!
Me too. And Peculiar obviously. And the one I scanned is a first ed I inherited from Betsy. Generations.
The Bozeman folks sometimes called us (Me, Lib, Peculiar) The Addams Family. We wore the label with pride. Maybe not too many people there manifested interests in art, climbing, opera, and guns to name a very few of ours...
My rescued sighthound mix Frida (Saluki and Borzoi, and I'm not ruling out a bit of Afghan--she hops)shares that profile: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=607965172549616&set=a.576955395650594.1073741825.100000084158469&type=1&theater

"That morning it came down to breakfast and ate
All the syrup, french toast and part of a plate...."
Hmmm..... fairly tazi-ish.
Holy cow, you're right! I grew up on Gorey books (which surely explains a lot) and still find them endlessly fascinating.
