“Dogs are great. Bad dogs, if you can really call them that, are perhaps the greatest of them all.”—John Grogan Any of you who follow me here on my blog or my Facebook page, know Frankie. I wouldn’t call him a “bad” dog. Instead I like to say he’s a good dog some of the time and as the years …
Years ago, I started walking with my dogs early in the mornings. First I had my best ever dog, Oscar, along with me. Later, after Oscar crossed the rainbow bridge, I got Frankie and then Marley who go for my morning walks with me now. On my Facebook author page, I started inviting my FB friends to go along with …
When you get a perfect spring day in April on a Saturday or a Sunday, you need to take advantage of the gift if you can. And when the whole weekend feels like a perfect June day, it’s time to be outside. We did go to church which was inside. I have remembered times when it was suggested we carry …
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 …

Wherever I am, which is usually right here at home, I go out with the dogs …
“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 …
The earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson A week or so ago, I invited you to go wildflower hunting with me and promised that we’d go again. That’s the thing with spring. It gifts us with such a variety spread out over a couple of months. Early, early I had to go walking to find the hepatica blooms that …
I sent out a newsletter last week with some book news (mainly that Angel Sister was on e-book sale for cheap, cheap, cheap, but the sale may end tomorrow.) I always have a giveaway in a newsletter, and I often ask if those who respond for the giveaway want to share some kind of story. Usually some of you do …
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 …
