The Hound Of Love is a middle-aged puppy, although she can look serious in photographs. She is still puppy’ish, has lost none of her energy and still grasps the meaning of “photoshoot.” Lenore is all love, she is the heart of the place in so many ways. When I was alone and struggling, Lenore kept love alive for me, I could not help but smile when I looked at her and I cannot help it still.

Note: For those of you who messaged me and said you wished to subscribe to the blog but had little money, I have arranged for a $3 monthly subscription fee, meant for those under financial pressure or anyone else who chooses to subscribe in that way. The $5-a-month and $60-a-year subscription options remain, the one-time contribution option has been removed. Donations connote charity to me, subscriptions are payment for my work. Better.

I need to say again, as some may have missed it, that the blog will remain free to those who choose not to pay for it or who can’t pay for it, you are very welcome here. I will always find a way for you to access the blog. Subscribing is a choice, it is an evolution both in my work and my thinking. I like being paid for my work, and increasingly, the blog has become my work. I hope you continue to enjoy it, I will continue working hard to fill it with good stuff.
