Here in Northern California, where Mount Tamalpais dominates our view, we live on a hill that has been terraced with fruit trees. Citrus of all kinds, and grape vines allowing our dogs full racing rights. Morning finds our four Silken Windhounds, Misty and Mercury and their grown pups, Winter and Spring, at the top, waiting to bark at deer, or howl back at the coyote family that also occupy the area just beyond the fence. Our two borzoi, Nikki and LacyLu follow, but only LacyLu barks. Nikki hopes to intimidate with daggered staring.
Ian H. Wilson, the futurist and author of three books, tries to sleep through all of this, but prodded by his wife, Adrianne Marcus, he sleepily greets the day with a good strong cup of coffee before preparing the dogs' meals.
Then our day begins fully, at our computers, writing about possible futures (Ian) and poetry and prose (Adrianne). Our dogs are documented in various forms, from Borzoi Connection, to articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, and the new Forever Borzoi book. Humor, living with dogs, cooking mishaps, all are part of our cascading life and writing is the way we see and share our world.

Dog Is never singular. One gives way to two, then three others come to stay. Mad dashes through the house, leaps onto the sofa, over the coffee table, each other, knocking plants awry, pillows scattered, upsetting the entire morning which was trying for some order. Are they all yours? someone asks, as if I pick them up along the street like some itinerant dog collector. Embarrassed at such largesse I simply nod, and drag along leash by leash, the evidence of love.
