Castorp is our first dog, and we failed entirely in even the most basic training. Not a problem, since by nature our Castorp is sweet and graceful and inherently polite in all his interactions with humans and fellow dogs.

The one rule that we did manage to instill is that he must not use our chairs and sofas downstairs, nor our rooms and beds upstairs. He had accepted it.

Long story short: that rule is no more.

Castorp has made one of the leather armchairs in the main room his own. He's also decided that an old blue table cloth will serve as his rightful blanket on that chair. Castorp is curled up on the chair (and the table cloth) as I type this toot. His entire posture radiates ... peace.

He's always been the quiet serene type, but now that he's found his natural place, he has found his true self, and he is serenity pure. We won't re-introduce the rulebook.

During the current heat wave, my Castorp lies flat on his blanket all day, legs stretched out, minimal movements. I walk him in the very early morning, before 5pm, when the air is fresh. We understand each others passivity during the day; our shared bodily response to the unsupportive temperatures is an extra bond between us. In our house we have a gentle cooling airflow in the room by the garden, shaded by trees. We both enjoy it, there's no need to explain its quiet comfort to each other.

Summer solstice. We were in the mood to mark the occasion and took Castorp to the hill, in time for sunrise at 04:52.

He was racing along across the field as the red ball of the sun emerged behind the next hill. It's been a while since I last watched an actual sunrise, I had forgotten how fast it all is: less than a minute from first glimpse to fully out.

Castorp is now resting contentedly at my feet.

Welcome to the longest day!
