the dignity of the dog













a somewhat self-indulgent post, featuring The Dog...also known as Kip the Wonder Dog. brilliant at mustering sheep on the paddock and even better at completely losing her dignity when collapsing into the dog-basket...

  1. Beautiful Kip...I have a distant relative here named Wendy. They like to place a paw on us like that, don't they? I've been enjoying your site and blog. Good work! Here there is a good bit of buggy use, and many of the road horses are way to rangy and sometimes a bit lame for my liking.
    Regards,
    Velma

  2. thanks for the visit, Velma...there's nothing quite like the comforting paw of a Border Collie, is there?

  3. My little Wendy bosses around two frequent visitors, a doberman and a setter, but me, she adores. I like how the paw is accompanied by the "look".

    Re: natural dyeing, have you published any articles, etc. about your work? I'm always eager to see what other dyers are up to, how they sometimes extract magic from our earth.

  4. my book Eco Colour was published by Murdoch Books earlier this year..and if you wander to 'sidesteps' in the column at right and click on 'a place in the forest' it will take you to my website 'www.indiaflint.com' on which you'll find more dye stories

  5. I love The Dog Whisperer. Cesar would be proud of you for giving your dog such a great job and such a relaxing home.

  6. I'm having a lot of trouble accessing parts of your site--I'm on dial up--is it possible that you could email me personally and send info about purchasing a book? I can see the book--just can't seem to make my iMac talk to your computer.

  10. India, you were right when you posted recently on my blog that we have "very similar dogfriends"! These photos of Kip are so like poses of my own dawg... I thought you might like to see THIS particular photo I have on my Facebook profile - called "Isla Shameless". Here is the public link so you can view it: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30364226&l=3a46cce985&id=1088234479
