We walked...and saw the moon Shine on Brightly....( William ) ....it was so bright...not full mind ya...but so very bright. It was one of those perfect Wyoming nights tonight....clear...crisp....just amazing. When Dallas and I go out, I take along a layer or two of defense. Because it can be scary. We usually go out rather early in the morning. In the summertime, it is a bit more comforting to have those things with me....there are always strange folks out at 3 am when it is warm outside...some of them are not happy. Me and Dallas have had to make a stand more than once over the years. As it gets colder, less and less folks find it fun to be outside. I dont mind people invading our quiet time. It seems almost all are gentle kind people...and almost all I talk to tell me they carry too..Its ok, most Wyoming-ites do....which is good. An armed society is a polite society.....anyway...I like the DEAD OF WINTER....because no one else does, especially the cowards. While enjoying the moon tonight, and having my nightly conversation with my Maker...pleading my case...which is always pathetic as I look at the Universe in all its Glory and Splendor....(every night it is different....every night it is breath-taking....and we are out EVERY night!) ....well...hmm...let me try to say it this way... Dallas is my very first line of defense. Or so I have always thought. But if my Faith was as strong as I have always hoped it was, then my first line lies elsewhere. But I am a human....AND...whats worse...I am a shallow man. And so...even after doing it for a million times....even after coming to this same conclusion a thousand time....even after all my efforts to trust completely....I dont. And THAT is something I have been working on for a long time. Because I tell Him I do....I ask Him for the courage....I beg Him to protect me....and ya know what? I am still here...and Dallas is a GREAT ALARM on our walks! Usually he detects the presence of Angry Frank, the Pronghorn, and his band of Merry Wimens long before I see em. Or he sees a durn cat or sumpthing. But he has also alerted me to the presence of someone who seems to trying to conceal it.... And he is always staring into the pitch black darkness, with his ears at attention...which always gets mine. Thats when I go to my Maker...and ask Him to take over. My two companions on our late night walk....and I am so very grateful for both of them. And I am grateful to One....for Them both.... If you have not seen this for a while I would highly recommend it....just as a review, especially if you have a dog or your own. If you have never seen it...get a hankie..... What a night! Its been a good one. I hope there are some more coming my way. Because they are the ones that make all this alone thing worth it. Stay Tuned I Do Tunes
