Animal Crackers

A place for my daily adventures into the dog world with my companion. Pictures, poems, and ramblings about the canines that have touched my life and made me who I am today with an occasional side trip for no particular reason. PLEASE USE REFRESH TO UPDATE POSTS IF NECESSARY

I am a senior citizen who enjoys writing and other forms of communication. I enjoy designing cards for all occasions. Dogs have always been a major part of my life. I have published my own dog magazine, written dog columns for a local newspaper's web site and major TV station web site, and conducted informational classes about dogs through the library system for over 25 years. I write poems about each one of my dogs. My biggest achievement was becoming a member of Mensa. Music makes me happy. I love to dance. Skating was my life when I was young. Adopting a rescue dog has given me a new start in life. He has taught me so much.

SUMMERTIME

Summer has arrived. There are so many projects that must be done before the snow flies, leaving very little time to get all of the plans, that were laid out before a roaring fire and snow on the ground, completed. Every year it seems like there is less time and more work.

If there are any readers left, I apologize for my lack of updates. There just isn't enough time to do everything I'd like to do. It's so easy to sit at the computer and write. But if I let myself do that, the garden goes to weeds and the projects fade away.

I will continue to write, but it will be limited. I hope you won't desert my forum on my favorite subject - dogs - and check back once in a while to catch up. I have some interesting things in the back of my head, but they must wait until I have more time to assemble them.

I will be doing an interesting update on Dakota in the next day or two that includes some very interesting new data relating to his storm fear and how I am finding it quite successful. The theory behind it made sense to me and it works in well with all of the other tools I'm using. I hope you will find it a possible approach if you have the same problem or pass it on to someone that is dealing with this doggie dilemma.

Dakota is enjoying his summer and has absolutely no doubt that this is his home. He has both of us wrapped around his paw and protects and defends his forever family. I will update all of his summer accomplishments this week so come back and share in his fun.
