For years I have seen, people preach that you should have homes lined up for your puppies before you breed, definitely before they are ready to go home. I’m curious as to how many people are actually willing to buy a pup that they haven’t seen, or who’s personality isn’t really developed yet as they are still too small to really judge who they are going to be?

I know I wouldn’t, but time and I again, I see people on here asking for advice, and countless peeps tell them, they should have already had homes lined up for them.
I think some of you missed the question. I didn’t ask why or how breeders line up buyers. I asked how many of you would be willing to purchase a pup who either isn’t born yet, or isn’t old enough to have developed their personality.
There is a huge difference between 6 and 8 weeks, during which the pup’s personality really emerges. The pup you picked at 6 wks, may very well have a totally different personality 2 wks later.
lol, no I’m not breeding. My little male is neutered, and my little girl is too tiny. I refuse to breed anything under 4 lbs. she means the world to me. Wouldn’t be safe for her. Oh, and my husband’s doxie is spayed as well. I used to breed, once upon a time, and it amazed me, how I’d have people lined up, and by the time the pups were old enough, they had found a pup they could take home instead of waiting. I eventually quit that nonsense, and waste of money advertising too early, and had no problems placing my pups by 12 weeks in homes that were a match for each individual puppy.

I was just wondering how many of you practiced what you preach, and bought your own little guy before he was born, or shortly there after and then waited to bring him home.
To "not a black St. Bernard". I’m sorry, but who are you to tell me which pup is going to have the perfect personality to fit in my home? Not everybody is interested in breeding or showing their dog. And after that, all you are left with is personality. I picked my own babies out personally, to be sure that I had the right match for my household. Not all pups have the same personality. I’d never buy a pup from you, or anyone else with a God complex.
Perhaps if you want a show dog, or a working dog, I can concede that makes sense. But to the average person wanting a companion, such as myself, that doesn’t. I hadn’t thought of it from the point of view of "bigger breeds" that might be too much to handle, but then those breeds aren’t for me. I don’t show, and I don’t have breeds that were originally designed for anything other than companionship, as that’s all I need my babies for. I picked them myself, and they do their job quite nicely. I didn’t pick them solely on their looks, or their pedigrees, I picked mine by how they responsed to me, I’m sure that’s a foreign concept to some. But I wanted total love, and adoration. My little male was the biggest flirt, his sister was cuter, but she didn’t respond to me so much. I shutter to think if his breeder has pushed her at me. She wouldn’t have suited. My little girl, was the prettiest baby there, but that isn’t why I got her, oh how she demanded my attention! She claimed me that day.
Have you ever seen someone with their pet, and their pet looks less than thrilled with their owner? You just know, someone made a mistake, they weren’t meant to be together. It saddens me, to think of those that ended up in the wrong homes, because no one payed attention to what they wanted. They were picked because they were the cutest, or had the most impressive lineage so their owner could brag, or because they were show-worthy, not because they wanted, needed to be with that person. And it shows. Had I done it your way, I doubt I’d have my Cindy, as how would you have known how desperately she could love me above all others? She refused to kiss my mother. She barely looked at my dad. She only had eyes for me. It was, and still is a great feeling. I don’t think people give dogs enough credit for intelligence and emotion, they have both.

I would never buy a puppy or dog sight unseen. Lining up homes should be a conditional arrangement.

Her Whisper

A midday rendezvous with
The creator of earth and bone
Served as his only getaway
From the barks and howls
Of a savage society.
At rest in fields of gold,
He longs for her whisper…
A whisper dissimilar from that of man,
Hers whistles and flutters
Gently across his exterior…
Like words, her whisper goes unseen
But is felt by the world over.
Her whisper places him at peace
And nature in motion.

Should I replace "places" with "put" in the second to last line? Or is it fine? Which makes more sense? Any other critiques would be helpful.

1. Do not replace places with put.

This poem is okay. Hard to grasp and eccentric. I think you have written on this topic much better. Try writing a couple of poems with this shared theme, and see if you come up with anything a little less flippy.

In LOTR the 3 elven rings are forged for "Healing, Understanding, and Preserving that which could be preserved, unstained".

The greatest of the rings, Vilya, ring of Lightning (healing was given to Elrond in Rivendell. But he admitted to Gandalf that when all other places fell, Rivendell would follow.

Narya, ring of Ice was held by Galadriel, guardian and warder of Lothlorien, the silver wood. Indomitable in defiance yet impotent in change, she stood, light against shadow betwixt the wastes. Dwindling.

Lastly Nenya, the ring of Fire which preserved Gandalf from the Balrog of Moria was gifted him by Cirdan the shipwright who recognised him as an agent of the Valar.

Yet other choices exist. The rangers who guarded against shadows unseen, hidden heirs of a line of kings, and the Gondorians, wardens who held the line against the shadow.

Who are you?

(gandalf crossed with treebeard n a hint of bombadil)

Understand that I say this with cynicism, not egotism. I am most like Frodo, the one who loks like he’s supposed to be the hero but never really could be (Samwise is the true hero, and anyone who’s read the books twice or more knows this).
Have a great day!

Sight Unseen. or maybe on line (Web)?

I want the table to be transparent and I also want the words to be unseen.
I have a code that makes it transparent but it still leaves the line around it, and the words are still there.
I don’t want that.
I want it to be completely unseen, except for the things that are in it..

PRAYER FOR THE HORIZON
I wish you, first, an unimpeded view
with a boundary in it, between seen and unseen,
a line to hold onto when you’re feeling sick,
something to aim for but which retreats
as fast as you travel. May you stay undeceived
and see, not a line, but a curve of the earth:
an elegant offing that leads beyond fear
out to Vasco’s discoveries. It’s three:
visible, sensible, rational – lines
for what we may calculate and what we can’t.

In fog, I wish you mercury sight,
artificial horizon, so that you know
where not to be, quickly. I wish you the gift
of knowing where your own knowing ends.

And finally, I ask: when you reach
the event horizon from which your light
will no longer reach us and space, highly curved,
will hide you for ever, that you watch me arrive –
you shouldn’t see me, but you will –
marching with flashing lighthouses, buoys,
to the edge of your singularity
with fleets of full-rigged ceremonial ships
and acres of scintillating sea.

What is the theme?
What does it suggest about idealism and truth?

Vasco refers to Vasco da Gama, who lived at the same time as Christopher Columbus and actually did discover the shipping trade route to India, (but went south around Africa and then east while Columbus had sailed west.)

Mercury is the Greek god with wings on his feet, fog would not slow him down. "The visual journey of the Mercury symbol ends at an equal-armed cross. This is the final stage of solidification of thought. This indicates our thoughts have become manifest in the material world. We could say Mercury is a midwife to thoughts conceived in the ephemeral world," (whatsyoursign.com)

An event horizon is half astrophysics and half science fiction. The idea is that near a black hole, gravity is so strong that not even light can escape, so you could never see what happens past that point.

This poem was commissioned for the Verb radio show on the BBC. That alone indicates that the purpose of the poem was to try to get you thinking about literary stuff. They think they are all brilliant intellectuals on that show.

The thing about a horizon is that you can travel and travel and travel, but you never reach it. It is always ahead of you– (and behind and all around.)That is the theme, the journeying. I don’t think the poem says much about truth though,
