Commission for Keri and their Partners, bunch of rascals!
My little bat eared, buldgy eyed Goblin Dog, Reckin passed away in his sleep while snuggled next to my side. It was his favorite place to be. While I will miss his little tippy taps feet on my floor and his weird nose wipes on my shirt and his sweet happy dance when I scratched his back, it was his time to find the Rainbow Bridge. He was 17 and loved life right up to the end.
I've not been very active, but, needless to say.... I'm doing well. Horses are doing well. Dogs are doing good. I even have a new dog!
I'm still going on adventures and have a job I love, even though it kicks my butt daily. The BF and I live together now.
Maybe I'll be more active in the future but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
But regardless, happy holidays everyone.

FOLKLORE CALENDAR DAY ONE
BARGHEST
In 'Heat of the Hunt' Gabriel, the master of the Wild Hunt, has a pack of nine enchanted hounds which do his bidding and help him to protect his faerie clan. Each of them is named and called one by one in the raising ceremony. So, to begin our calendar, I thought I would share the folklore behind each of their names.
The barghest is described as a monstrous, goblin dog in Yorkshire folklore. It has huge teeth and claws and appears only at night. A sighting of the barghest, or barguest, will mean death for the person who gazed upon it, and even a fleeting glimpse of the creature will bring death after a few months.
In another story, coming from Darlington, the local barghest was a shapeshifter who could also take on the form of a headless man, a headless lady, a white cat and a rabbit, as well as a large black dog.
Some tales state that the barghest cannot cross running water and warn that a strike from its paw will leave a wound that will never heal. The baghest, acting as an omen of death, may lay across the doorway of a house where a person is soon to die. Following a notable death, it may also be seen leading a yowling and howling funeral procession with all of the local dogs through town.
