Tall Tail

Dear Reader,

Virginia harbors many spirits, some even before the English came in 1607. We dogs can feel them, smell them, and sometimes see them. The spirits are human as well as animal, domesticated and wild. But since humans refuse to acknowledge other dimensions, they miss the wisdom these departed souls can impart. Still, humans can often feel spirits even if they won’t admit it. Harry feels them at the Avenging Angel tomb.

Pewter denies most of this stuff but she, too, knows we aren’t alone. Part of her lack of interest is the departed bring no food.

My mother told me when I was a puppy, “When you drink the water, don’t forget those who dug the well.” I don’t.

I guess the spirits have their realm and we have ours but I have to share mine with Pewter. Not fair.

Your best dog ever,
