I’ve loved dogs since I was a child. Back then, “experts” taught us that we had to bend dogs to our wills. Back then, we didn’t know any better.
But thanks to insightful trainers and the wise counsel of my dogs Agatha, Christie, Shadow, and now Honey, I’ve learned that there is a better way to be with our dogs.
With wit and wisdom, Something Wagging This Way Comes explores how understanding what makes my dog a dog can helps make me human.

Is that your dog in the header? Check this picture of one of mine:

Amazing resemblance.
What a sweet face! The colors and markings are very familiar to me–
The dog in the header is Shadow. We lost her to cancer in January.
We adopted her at 9 years old from the SPCA and never knew quite what went into the mix. Eventually we decided on hound with a bit of German Shepherd.
Do you know anything about your dog’s heritage?
The dog in the headder looks remarkably like my Marley boy. He was a rottweiler x german shepard, and that “once in a lifetime dog” we all have, though I lost him this last April at the age of 13 to old age.
Gage is about 5. He has arthritis, luxuating patellas in both rear legs, and a lot of issues with fear. We adopted him at about 6 months.
He seems to be a Rottie/Lab mix? Not quite sure. When he is in a good mood he sure acts like a goofy lab. He also has the “Rottie rumble” and likes to lean on you like a lab.
It sounds like Gage ended up in just the right, happy home.
Just found your blog today through the Saturday Blog Hop. I clicked because I loved the name — and the blog is great too. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! A blog name compliment from the writer who came up with “Will my dog hate me” is high praise indeed!
Now, if only I could get the blog hop code to post on my page.
Found you during the pet blog hop! Keep up the good work and come visit us sometime.
Yay Blog Hop!

I am so excited to find your blog! We just added a golden retriever puppy to our family. We lost our first golden 3 years ago and we are over the moon for our new pup!
I just spent waaaay too long peeking around your blog- I love it.
Happy Holidays,

Hi there – found your blog after reading your Blog Paws post about how you came to name your blog. I’ve scrolled around a bit, and will be coming back to see what you’re up to. Really like what you’re doing!
There are sooo many dog blogs out here, as I discovered after starting one of my own LOL! I’ve been weeding this excellent, fecund internet garden of posts and I just want to let you know, while there are so many excellent writers and interesting things being said, I found your blog to be exceptional and I am looking forward to reading it once a week.
Thanks for the sharing!

I just discovered your blog and I’m quite intrigued! I’m finding that there are a lot of dog blogs out there, but I haven’t found many with “be with your dog!” suggestions! I’ll be looking forward to visiting with my Mom Person!
love your blog
I’ve just started my blog a month ago and I’m inspired by how great yours is
I will point all the people who told me “why would you start a stupid dog blog? who would read that?” to this blog.
Love your blog! (the dog is pretty cute too!)
