Arlene & Tango's space

To all my blogger friends in case I can't get round to you

AND

From Tango to all who know him,

Here are the latest paintings I've just finishedThis is Tigger

 

I was going through some old photos of my dogs the other day, and I came across one of my Numa, a lovely but rather dim German Shepherd, she was rather in the shadow of my older GSD Kerry, who was a s sharp as a a tack.

One day though Numa got one up, I had given them both a bone which they wer happily eating in the garden, Numa finished hers, and knew she couldn't possibly challenge Kerry,so she had a dog type light bulb moment, she knew that Kerry had a strong guarding instinct, so Numa ran up to the gate barking her head off sounding very fierce, Kerry looked up, and you could almost see her thinking 'deal with it Nums, I'm busy' but no Numa kept on, it soon became too much for Kerry and she ran up to the gate, growling in her best fashion, of corse she couldn't see anything but she stayed there long enough just to make sure that anyone who was perhaps hiding would get the message, of course having left her bone gave Numa the opportunity to dive in, grab it and claim ownership, and dogs do respect ownership, I really think my old dim girl maybe did have a spark of guile in her that she used to her advantage, and she managed to get away with it several times.

 

 

Do you think if I keep up this sort of blog I might get my name into the  National Geographic. ?

and  to see the devotion of the bees in saving their hives after having it trashed by a bear, the ants who farm grass stalks to grow their own food fungus, it makes anything we do pall into significance, especially when you think that many great minds use them to make weapons of destruction, Oh yes we can learn from the bugs, they're all part of life's jigsaw, and we remove parts at our peril. I really do fear for the future of mankind if not this planet.
