Tess, the captive audience. She has to be cabled so she'll stay home, boring old home, instead of walking the bog with fascinating strangers--making new friends. I can't count the number of times people have brought her to the house, called to see if she made it home, etc. She has a tag with her name & address on it, but someone suggested I have a tag made that says "I'm Tess the Bog Dog and I know my way home."
One year she got a Christmas card addressed to Tess the Bog Dog. It was from some people in Texas who'd been vacationing in the Adks. They sent a picture of Tess with one of them. Interesting notion. I communicated with them for a while--they sent pictures of their cattle, a cross between long-horns and Angus. Good for meat and could withstand the heat. They said they worried about mountain lions, not things like raccoons or red squirrels, the way I do.
how are you?
