Last minute preparations

Today I dug through rock. No, really, rock. I'd take some pictures but I'm afraid that my hands won't really operate a camera at the moment (never mind the fact that I'm typing). Anyways, we built a kennel for Timber today at my parents place. It just so happens that their property is located right on top of a basalt lava flow. This puts the bedrock about 6 inches below the dirt. Well, you can't really call it dirt either. It's more like a bunch of rocks with a little dust in between them all.

We got it set up pretty nicely though, about a 30'x21' enclosure, with a large area that is covered to give him some shelter from the wind/rain/sun. Of course, he's not too fond of it, but he never does like being locked in. :)

Final prep is pretty much done. We've got to rip apart the guide books and add the sections to all our boxes, but once that's done, we're ready to go. We're thinking now that the summer solstice is on wednesday, and that might be a auspiscious day to start.

  1. Solstice is always auspicious, especially when you're setting out into nature.

    Goddess bless, merry meet, and merry part.
