When I recently sent out a newsletter with an invitation for readers to tell me about their favorite pets. Most of those who entered my giveaway didn’t share storeis, but some of them did. I enjoyed every one whether I shared the story forward or not. A good dog or cat or horse or bird story is the best. I’ve …
A few years ago I was asked to do an interview with Quip Pro Quills called Animals & Authors. I wrote about Oscar, my best ever dog at the time, and me. Unfortunately I lost Oscar the year after this interview to bone cancer at the young age of eight. He was the best dog ever and a great subject …
On the Friday after Thanksgiving in 2017, I went dog shopping. A couple of months before that I lost my best dog ever Oscar to bone cancer. He was only seven and I had hoped for at least two or three more years with him. He was a big lab mix and without a doubt, a person in a dog …
“Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower.” ~John Harrigan We built a fence this morning. Well, we put it together anyway.

I loved reading all your caption suggestions. Riggs is looking like he might be wondering how so many …

Mastiffs are docile, dignified and patient, lovable companions. Dogs known as mastiffs have been known around the world for thousands of years. Surviving evidence from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, and Tibet all bear traces of ferocious giant canines classified as mastiffs. (The American Kennel Club) I love dogs. I like big dogs too, but I’ve never wanted a huge …
“Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one is a life diminished.” ~Dean Koontz I’ve never gotten a dog for Christmas. Got one for my birthday once. The many others all showed up in their own good time either when I needed a dog or they needed a home. If you’ve stopped by here before, you probably …
You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. …Psalm 16:11 (NKJV) There’s nothing quite so sad as looking back at a dog sitting in the path no longer able to walk with you.
