Sloughi

Give me the horizon to chase and I'll leave nothing but wind behind for you to feel upon your face. Gentle is my nature, and all runs are easy for me! You'll come to love me, though at first you might find me odd. Come - let's play in the fields! Run with me and see what spoils I can bring to you.

Let the young children hang around my neck and crawl beneath my belly playing silly games. Allow them to try and keep up with me if they think they can! They will give up before I even take a second breath. Stride for stride, none can keep up with me and I'll soon be out of sight.

My name is Silvia and when I run the world is mine, for that is what I was bred to do. I run and hunt and chase everything. I'm not an apartment dog nor one to be content in the confines of a backyard. Untie my leash and don't bind me that I might be free to run or I will succumb to depression and gloom. I run toward the horizon; my silhouette glides along the Earth's curve until you call for me to return.

Tomorrow should be fun. Tomorrow I will run and run and run and you can catch me if you can.
