My Dog Is Trying to Kill Me
If a few days go by and you haven’t heard from me, call the FBI. I’m probably lying dead at the bottom of the stairs after slipping on a stuffie, carefully disguised in dog hair. You’ll probably find Honey charging up my credit card. I knew I should have never …

Doggy Style Pick-Up Lines
Yes, I know I’m going to get some pretty creepy traffic from this title. But I just couldn’t resist. Inspired by Stanley Coren I recently read Stanley Coren’s Born to Bark: My Adventures with an Irrepressible and Unforgettable Dog. My one sentence review: Good book if you like dogs; not so hot if you like …
You Can’t Do That! Oh Yeah? Watch Me!
Didja ever notice there’s no shortage of people telling us we can’t do something? Well I like surprises—people and animals that do awesome things because they don’t know they’re not expected to do them well.

Tennyson Obviously Didn’t Have a Dog
It’s freaking cold. But my blueberry bushes have buds and my tulips are four inches out of the ground. It must be spring. What does spring mean? Alfred Lord Tennyson said that “in spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” It’s not what my thoughts turn to. I’m already drowning in …
Is Life With a Small Dog Like Life with Dexter?
The best size dog is… For me, the perfect sized dog is one whose head ends up right under my hand when she walks by my side. Since I’m about 5′ 7″ (170 cm) tall, that means the perfect dog will end up in the 50 pound range. But here’s the thing. I live in …
