"He taught him horsemanship, archery and how to wield lasso, rein and stirrup, and what and when and how, the rites of of convivial society, of formal ceremony and the symposium; hawking, falconry and how to hunt with the cheetah; what was justice or the lack of it; what the throne and the crown meant; how to deliver orations and how to go to war and lead an army."

Dog Pic of the Week: Perfect Tav
Mr Tavi is no longer a pup; this photo by Shiri makes him look like my Platonic ideal of a tazi.

Thank you, Steve! I see it too. He is maturing, physically if not mentally.
Possibly also mentally. This is the same dog, only two months ago: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3824556052191&l=6e62a7c475
Indeed a splendid sighthound! I'll havta get some more pictures of my own "Sintwul Ajin Woochers"(the phonetic-baby-talk term for my Bergevoy-bred Tazis) to you to post--they are really growing up too!.....L.B.
Almost finished with a roll of film--then off to Wal-Mart for development(1 week or so)--then off to Steve for approval and scanning--and VOILA! Like magic, they shall appear onto the blog! Well, very PRIMITIVE magic, that is. I only have an old-fashioned camera, you know, you guys.....

I've enjoyed watching Tavi grow up and the mistakes and progress he's made as he figured out how to use his body ... he is quite the boy!
