Gretchen Rubin wrote in The Happiness Project about the year she spent “test-driving the wisdom of the ages, the current scientific studies, and the lessons from popular culture about how to be happy.” The Puppiness Project is my attempt to learn the same from Honey, my Golden Retriever.

Vicky, from Paw Print City Times, has awarded me a Stylish Blogger Award. I am very thankful to her for the kind thoughts. Especially since I started following her blog reluctantly. You see, I worry about all the time I spend on the computer. And I know that if I read and follow too many [...]
