Two Old Dogs Eddy Cavin Gavin walks from the Lochlip bridge to the slow flowing Calder, where his old dog plays (as an old dog can) in the low summer water. He doesn't look to the day just spent or on any left to come; his thoughts are set on a life's regrets: not said not meant not done. The old dog clears his head of flies as Gavin shakes off memories; then turn together, both in step along this river 'til out of breath. THE SCENT OF THE HIGHLANDS by Diane Davis Twas just a bit of heather that he'd picked up from the land a touch of white and purple in his aged, leathered hand. A tiny bit of nature but the memories it told filled a summer's afternoon with Highland tales of old.
