dog

It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.

My Best Partner
There is one thing I believe I know for sure, our relationships are a reflection of our relationship with our Higher Power, and I can say I am quite grateful and feel extremely blessed with mine.

My Dog Story
I grew up with outside dogs. Humans were happy in our home, and I thought dogs were just as happy outside. Frisky, our last family dog, slept under the deck and ate the same food we did. When I walked the roads and trails, Frisky was at my feet, going to the same places I went. I would push our boat into the water to go fishing, and if he were not already in the boat with me, he would almost always spot me in the water as the boat was leaving the bank. It seemed like part of the fun for him to jump from the pier to the boat, sometimes four or five feet. At the end of one jump, I had a broken fishing rod.

According to news reports the COVID-19 pandemic has led to more people getting the dogs that they have wanted but been putting off. What makes owning a hyper, hungry pooping machine that appealing?

Sookie, our Amuse Bouche Dog
SOOKIE, OUR AMUSE BOUCHE OF A DOG When you sit down at a table in a fine restaurant, you are sometimes served an amuse bouche. It precedes the meal and stands on its own. It doesn't need to relate to the meal that will follow but it needs to be packed with layers of flavor that don't need more than one bite to impress. When you eat your dinner, often part of the meal impresses you less than the rest. It doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the meal because the stars on the plate make up for it. The amuse bouche stands alone relying on its single bite to be memorable.

The Pain of Losing a Beloved Pet
It’s hard to describe what grief looks like as it’s different for everyone. Recently my family suffered the loss of our family dog. He had been with us for close to 18 years so we had obviously grown very attached to him.

No, My Dog Is Not Broken
Insight can come from the strangest places. Today, that insight came to me during a visit to our vet with our newest dog Pumpkin. He was our families Covid support dog, and it was time to update his shots, and make an appointment to get him fixed.

Signs of Fear in Dogs
“When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

What My Dog Can Teach You to About Life
“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk, Author I was having lunch, outdoor, on the top of the hill our house is at. Khaleese, my German Wirehaired Pointer/Labrador mix was sitting next to me. Far enough to be left where she is, close enough to not miss anything.The incarnation of enlightenment. The happiest, sweetest, most content dog I have ever known; life for Khali is a sequence of predictable events eliciting consequences. That’s why I will now give her the pen and let her tell you how to reach Nirvana in a few, easy to follow, steps.

My Obsession with Dachshunds
For as long as I can remember (around the age of two, to be exact) my family has included a smart, sassy, stubby-legged dachshund. With a bark loud enough to match its boisterous personality, the dachshund is truthfully one of a kind. Originally bred for hunting badgers, they really live up to their reputation of being fearless. They are strong willed and loving animals, and for the people that get to be in their lives, there is nothing better.
