LouLou is surviving this New England winter with ill grace. She hates snow, but, being blind, has not yet figured out how to avoid it, so she invariably ends up stumbling into the nearest snow drift, sinking up to her knees in snow and barking her head off for immediate rescue. We estimate that she is 12 years old now, and in spite of being incredibly cranky, she remains her endearing self…

It’s spring, and LouLou is transformed. She is even inspired to quote one of her favorite dead poets, Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909). Who knew that an ancient, blind, snot-nosed French Bulldog could be so romantic? She is making her little Pug consort Clovis swoon with the beauty of her recitation, or maybe it’s just lack of oxygen to his poor little damaged cerebellum.
Anyway, here is the poem, one of her favorites - all dog lovers know at least SOME version of the first line…
Chorus from Atalanta in Calydon
WHEN the hounds of spring are on winter’s traces,
The mother of months in meadow or plain
Fills the shadows and windy places

For the Thracian ships and the foreign faces,
The tongueless vigil, and all the pain.
Of course,you need to be a James Thurber fan to really appreciate this poem… The relevant cartoon is in the 3.18.1939 issue of the New Yorker, in case you’re near a library! James Thurber would have appreciated a dog like old Lou…

See the little guy in the picture? His name is Stout, he is seven or eight years old, and when he walks, he sometimes tips over, but he gets right up again! He was sitting patiently at the Animal Harbor in Belvidere, a no-kill animal shelter operated by the Franklin County Humane Society, [...]
Little Brooklyn had a troublesome habit of escaping from her home in Ottawa, Ontario and hightailing it through the city streets. Several times, she made her way into the hands of Ottawa animal control, who took her to the Ottawa Municipal Animal Shelter where municipal law required that she be held for three days prior to being surrendered for placement. Each time, her owners came to bail out the little wanderer and bring her home. And then, one day, they didn’t come.
