When you are a dog lover like me and you write stories to share with readers, you might come up with some four-legged furry characters from time to time. So far I haven’t put Frankie in a story yet, but here in this picture he looks like he’s telling me that might be a fun idea. Well, actually he’s insisting …
(I promised to share this story sometime and it seemed the right time now. It was first published in The Dog Next Door: And Other Stories of the Dogs We Love by Callie Smith Grant.) I was nine when I got the dog hunger. I wanted a dog with every inch of my fiber. So much that I would have traded …
“Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one is a life diminished.” ~Dean Koontz Did you know it was National Dog Day? Maybe a better question is did you even know there was a National Dog Day? The only reason I do is because of Facebook. We dog lovers are always ready for a chance to post …
“The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment.” ~Robert Flacon Scott Okay so Sunday’s mystery photo wasn’t a great mystery. A lot of you knew what it was. I guess the pecan mystery picture was my tricky highlight (so far) and this one my low light. But that’s okay. I’m fine with some right guesses. It definitely …

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” — Elliott Erwitt Those of you who hang out with me here on my blog and on my Facebook page know how …
“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I’m late! I’m late! I’m late!” (The White Rabbit in Alice in the Wonderland) Yes, I am late with this post – again. I was late last week too. The White Rabbit’s lament runs through my head whenever I think about being late and sometimes I sing …
“We can learn so much by observing the way our pets rejoice in life’s simplest moments. For a dog, every morning is Christmas morning. Every walk is the best walk; every meal is the best meal. Take time every day to celebrate the many gifts that are hidden in the ordinary events of your life.” – Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer …
When we adopt a dog or any pet, we know it is going to end with us having to say goodbye, but we still do it. And we do it for a very good reason: They bring so much joy and optimism and happiness. They attack every moment of every day with that attitude. ~W. Bruce Cameron This weekend I …
