I am reminded of my pet cat as a child who exhibited similiar bonding with my pet dog. <br /><br />A wonderful indigenously based story that doubtless in its simplicity and appeal has been told over and over so many times before. <br /><br />Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-77026646925049292092010-03-18T15:17:05.324-07:002010-03-18T15:17:05.324-07:00su - had a %&*!#!!! dump of 4 inches of snow l...su - had a %&*!#!!! dump of 4 inches of snow last night, and temps are taking a nose dive. cuss! the memories are the only thing that's warm at the moment. sitting at my desk in the ReStore trying to write a grant application, and freezing my feet.<br /><br />claire - i think there's a lot of shared mythology among northern first nations people....
