What a lovely meander! And the surprising need to share Dan with the land around the cabin. I love the videos about your dog. And the one of reverse twinning for cordage. A lovely weekend was had!

Thank you for the videos!! Beryl is Berutiful. Also, I learned how to twist and ply at same time! So peaceful.

I just subscribed to The Gusset, because a bit of joy once a week is worth at least one dollar!

What a good dog indeed! A wonder to follow the instinct and meandering paths with skunks avoided (amazingly good dog!!) and moments shared again with Dan in a way. Milkweed twisting while reading to boot!

Beryl is SUCH a good girl.

So the twining—it looks like you are basically spinning and plying at the same time but with just your fingers. Do I have that right?

Yup! That's it exactly.

You inspire me and I love to see your posts. Twisting and plying looks meditative.

Beryl is perfect. As a dear trainer told me once, you get the dog you need.

Oh, Sarah, I can't thank you enough! After hours of working on the computer (Grrr) to undo a subscription billing I never wanted, I tuned into your video and listened to the birds and watched Beryl walk along a path I would love to wander. (How obedient she is getting to be!) As a desert dweller (tucson) with a heart in the forest, I relaxed and just looked and listened. Thank you for sharing that interlude in the woods, as you released a few more tears and ashes for Dan. How lovely that Beryl could share it with you too. I feel much restored. Thank you.

Good to share a moment spreading the love of a lost partner, neither a goodbye nor a hello.

When my moms Great Danes got into it with some skunks she poured a huge can of tomatoe juice over them. Too hilarious, can’t image what that skunk was feeling confronted by these two hounds. Poor guy. But he got even!

A big hug from someone who knows how it feels to scatter ashes.
