Love story: Lenore and Brutus

by Jon Katz


The heart wants what the heart wants – secret rendezvous

June 2, 2008 – We took the sheep out this afternoon (see Rose on the left) and Lenore was snoozing in the shade with me, as I was listening to my iPod (Mahalia Jackson) and I looked up and saw that Lenore had tiptoed away and gone to see Brutus, with whom she is definitely having a relationship – the Hunting Dog and the wethered sheep. Brutus came all the way over to the edge of the pasture, looking for her, I think, and she came out and licked him on the nose.
  I think I have to sit down with Lenore and tell her about the ways of the world. And just yesterday, I was singing “Love Hurts” to her. After the touched noses, Lenore followed Brutus around for a few minutes. The Hound of Love had a boundless heart. I’m watching though.
