#101 Sat (10/1/22) - dachshund puppy!! Cassian? Duncan!

Found a 5 month old long-haired dachshund puppy, (named Cassian by the Rescue) at the Bloomington-Normal shelter.  Brought him home at 5 pm on Saturday, 10/1.


Feeding:

Science diet says for puppies 4-9 months (he is just 5 months);

10 lbs body weight:         1 1/2 cups

20 lbs body weight:         2 1/2 cups

So if he is 14 lbs, than his target is 1.9 cups per day, until Feb 2, 2023. (when he turns 9 months).

=================================================

Sun 10/2 - 1.4 cups, pee'd inside a few times, 3 or 4, poop'd once

Mon 10/3 - >1 cup, eats through out the day, but usually around noon and 5pm, 2 BM/d, pee'd inside once or twice, wakes up around 6:15 am

Tuesday 10/4 - 1 cup, eats through out the day, but usually around noon and 5pm, 2 BM/d, no accidents

Wednesday 10/5 -  < 1 cup at dinner, around 7pm, 2 BM per day, may have eaten goose poop in the park in the morning, no accidents.

Thursday 10/6 - stomach gurgling, gassy sounds, no interest in breakfast at all, not even treats, but playful, chewing on cloth, toys. Crapped a soft stool (inside) 11 am. The scientific name for dog's stomach making noises is borborygmi. (borborygmus) from the Greek verb borboryzein, which means "to rumble." He ate a good dinner and took a crap (normal) outside later). Pee'd inside at about 1045pm before I took him out. Up til 1 am whining at neighbors, or trains. I slept with him on the couch until he settled down and put him back in his crate. Woke up at 6:15 am. again. I think he hears the dwnstrs neigh.'s alarm clock or a train. She is very loud and leaves the house at 7:15 am. Move crate to living room, add blankets and coverings to try to dampen noise.

Friday 10/7 - ate a bit in the morning, about 1/2 cup. BM1 outside around noon.  

Sat 10/8 - ate well,

Sun 10/9 -

#48 Mon (8/8/22) - Los cuatro ciclos (The Four Cycles) by Jorge Luis Borges (El oro de los tigres, 1972)

Found this piece in the usual place and proceeded to translate and examine it.  It was not in any of my previous translated editions, although it has a familiar feel, touching as it does upon so many of the favored topics and references; Illiad and Odyssey, myths of Ragnarök , Anglo-Saxon poetry, Sir Gawain, Jason and the Golden Fleece, the Simurgh, Captain Ahab and Kafka, Odin and Christ.  In so doing I followed (forged?) the links to Rosetti's Troy Town and Yeats' Leda and the Swan.  I found out about the Game of the Gods (tafl) recounted in the Voluspa (which also has a long roll call of familiar dwarfs, including Gandalf), and the castrated Phrygian fertility god, Attis.  I veered then back into Beckford's Vathek, and found out about the Sultan Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif of Morocco , one of the true inspirations for the cruel Caliph Vathek.  In the same edition, Beckford wrote about his dream and described some of his travels in letters (hilarious!).  I ...

Borges - VIÑETAS CARDINALES DE BUENOS AIRES (1927)

  VIÑETAS CARDINALES DE BUENOS AIRES NORTE Almacén rosadito de los que a mí me gustan . La luna entera, encima . La luna oronda, dura . El almacén — de tierno — una mejilla . SUR Ésta, que no es mi tierra , porque no quiere darme ni un querer ni otra pena , cuida en los verdes patios, cedrón y caña de ámbar… ¡Lo bien que yo sabría merecerla! ESTE El viento zamarrea las esquinas tembleques del Paseo de Julio . En la noche rotosa, los compadritos muertos le apuntalan los muros . OESTE El callejón final con su poniente . Inauguración de la pampa . Inauguración de la muerte .   * Inicial , Buenos Aires, Año 3, Nº 11, febrero de 1927.   ======================================== CARDINAL VIGNETTES OF BUENOS AIRES NORTH A pinkish store of the kind I like. The full moon, above. The plump, hard moon. The store - so tender - a cheek. SOUTH This land, which is not mine, because it refuses to give me either love or another sorrow, tends in the green patios, lemon verbena and amber can...

#45 Fri (8/5/22) - [OW] The word must have been in the beginning a magic symbol

"La palabra habría sido en el principio un símbolo mágico, que la usura del tiempo desgastaría. La misión del poeta sería restituir a la palabra, siquiera de un modo parcial, su primitiva y ahora oculta virtud. Dos deberes tendría todo verso: comunicar un hecho preciso y tocarnos físicamente, como la cercanía del mar" J.L.Borges en Prólogo a "La Rosa Profunda" (1975)   “The word must have been in the beginning a magic symbol, which the usury of time wore out. The mission of the poet should be to restore to the word, at least in a partial way, its primitive and now secret force. All verse should have two obligations: to communicate a precise instance and to touch us physically, as the presence of the sea does." J.L. Borges in Prologue to "La rosa profunda" (1975) (SP, 343-345, A.R.)   The passage continues in the next line; I have here an example from Virgil:   sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt   After providing two more examples, he ...
