| | My Zoomorphic Dog: | | Usually the word 'zoomorphic' relates to deities having animal qualities. Here, however, I am referring to my dog who has a variety of other animal qualities.He's my beaver-bull-cat-seal-bear-lion-turkey-camel-s;oth-rabbit-kangaroo-wolf-dog.The first traits to exhibit themselves were wolf and cat. When he was just a little pup, he'd pounce on insects in the yard. If you've every seen a wolf pounce on small prey, that's exactly what he looked like, paws together, springing up from the back legs and pounce down on the front legs. This trait isn't all that far-fetched since he is a Malamute, who's DNA is closer to that of wolves than dogs. He looks like a wolf. acts like a wolf. He howls like a wolf. Some people think he's a wolf.The cat: he arches his back like a Scary Halloween cat. Picture this from a 120lb wolf-looking dog and it's pretty funny. He also uses his paws like a cat, batting toys around, and slapping you in the face when he's playing. While still young he had yet to grow into the large amount of skin hanging around his big neck, hence, the turkey. My son would say "gobble, gobble" to him. And Juneau'd get mad, as if... | |
| | Wishing you Happy Halloween with a spooky cat photo | | Greetings to all on this Halloween evening. David is out giving the kids who are coming to our door treats and I am just about to sign off. Thought I'd do that with a photo of our female cat Nexus peering over her food bowl with spooky eyes. She doesn't normally look like this...but it really seems to be a good fit for a night that is a fun time for many and a more serious spiritual time for others.So for those who have fun and love scary Halloween stuff this photos comes to you with happy Halloween wishes. For other friends who commemorate this time of deep spiritual significance my thoughts, prayers and well wishes join with you as we are reminded of the significance of this time and give honor to those who have moved to the next realm.Best regards as always,
Raia | |
