Get Ready; It’s Coming – Something Swagging 2012
She Works Hard for Her Funny BlogPaws is a few short days away. And if I’m going to be schlepping a big bag o’swag through three airports (count them, three) and arriving home near midnight (if I’m lucky) just to have to be at work by 9 a.m. the next morning, I want to get …
Are You a Dog Magnet?
Honey goes crazy for most people who visit so that meant nothing. Not until out on the street did we see the true strength of our friend’s super power. One after another, dogs stopped in their tracks to say hello to her. An old woman had to wait for her equally old dog to greet …

It got me thinking of how dogs and cats fit easily into our lives, in part, because they can learn to defecate in acceptable places. But other animals—rats, mice, birds, …
Adventure Dog – Biscuit the Rock Climbing Dog
Seeing this morning’s post at No Dog About It sent me looking for this video. (Check it out next; you’ll love it.) I first met Biscuit when her film appeared at the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. I loved this spunky little girl. After all, what’s life for but to have adventures with your …
