AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Just a wanderer
Dependendent on scents and sounds
A sensitive soul

We have a "not our dog" too. She comes to see us from the horse farm at the top of the hill. She's an older black lab and just comes here to get away from the other 4 dogs that work on the farm.

Your line about "her total blindness is not a disability" reminded me of the line "his blindness was his wisdom" from the Secret Journey.

I love the way you said her total blindness was not a disability. A perfect image for me, I'm a sucker for a cute dog.

Long ago when our then cat, Sans, went blind we were very concerned and the vet said 'dont move anything, dont rearrange the furniture and she will be fine' and she was ... animals are not limited by the loss of a sense ....
