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.

ASTRO


ASTRO

As though carved from granite
He stands in his stately silence.
The canine Cour de Leon!
Unsurpassed in intelligence,

Noblesse oblige determines his valor.

His greatness exemplified

Not only in mind, but in body.

Guardian to truth and loyalty

Undaunted!

An eminent perception

Of gentleness and compassion

Gracefully forgiving.
