Amun-Ra, Amun, Moonie-Loonie, Moonie, Moon, Moo


Amun-Ra, Amun, Moonie-Loonie, Moonie, Moon, Moo
(You pick a name!)
""General Appearance is one of grace, power and speed. The Pharaoh Hound is medium sized, of noble bearing with hard clean-cut lines-graceful, well balanced, very fast with free easy movement and alert expression.""
He is a Pharaoh Hound
He is now just about 6 years old
G and I raised him from a pup
He is extremely active
and a very keen hunter
He is a good boy
We acquired him from
Marilyn Smith
at Kamaraj Pharaoh Hounds
in Hudson, NH
http://www.kamarajpharaohhounds.com/index.html
We visit Marilyn at least once a year
Then Moo stays with her for a few days or so on vacation
while we take a vacation
Marilyn has around 12 Pharaoh Hounds
What a cool site to see all the Pharaoh Hounds as a pack
Moo always comes back from there a bit more wild
The pack reinstates his "dog-ness" if you will
By some he is also considered a Kelb tal-Fenek
which in Maltese means "The Dog of the Rabbit"
I like the name Kelb tal-Fenek a lot
since when you say it to people
they have no idea what you are talking about
To me Moo is just Moo
I wish my work place was dog friendly
so Moo could hang out with me all day!


Rrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnng and it don't stop.

Tinnitus!
Today the ears are a ringin' quite bad
Even though it seems quite bad I am still use to it
This has been happening now for almost 20 years
My ears ring constantly
When you hear peace and complete quiet I hear a high pitched ringing
The only time it really bothers my soul is when I am out hiking
I will stop to rest and take it all in
It is so beautiful, green and serene
Except that ringing
Would ya stop already, ah ha
I guess in some people it drives them really nuts
I am lucky, hopefully it doesn't get any worse?
Tinnitus!
