I Hear Ya, Dude…
From the Dog Blog archives: Dogs know words. Doesn’t matter what language – we speak the language of our pack, our family. We learn our name and “NO!” first and then from there, it’s up to you to guide us through the rest. If we take a puppy class with you, we learn commands. We… Continue Reading
Vay-Kay and a couple more Goodies
I’ll be on vacation this week — family is traveling to Colorado and we’ll be skiing at Copper Mountain (where the fun bride is below that I found on Flickr.) I’m a non-downhill skier, but I made the mistake last year of saying I would take a lesson on this trip. Please wish me luck!… Continue Reading
Valentine Goodness
In my internet travels, I meet fabulous people, varied in their locales and in their craft. I remember the first time I *saw* Allison from Bird Dog Press. It was last May, just after I had attended the National Stationery Show for the first time. She tweeted about what she was having at an NYC… Continue Reading
Doga is Real
I have a hard time with this one. I’m a “live and let live” kind of dog, but my idea of meditating with humans is sleeping on the bed. I do Downward Dog pose daily, but when my humans do it, it is the time for me to lick their faces until they stop. Same… Continue Reading

Valentine Card Swap
When you have children, Valentine’s Day usually turns into a holiday for them. Cool by me, as the holiday always made me feel uncomfortable from a romantic perspective (kind of forced and sometimes desperate.) But when I saw this idea from Carina of Crow and Canary, it was the perfect way to celebrate the holiday… Continue Reading
blog it forward inspiration
I have some favorite people I follow on Twitter that amuse me (in a good way), school me and inspire me. My eyes were on my laptop practically all last weekend, working on my business plan and website redesign simultaneously. (Both have completed first drafts! Check out the site here, if you’re inclined.) I would… Continue Reading
The Heart of a Chessie
That is the only photo I have of my mom, BB, but you see where I get my good looks. It’s unusual for dog offspring to have contact with their mothers after the infant puppy stage. The Dog Mom does her job, does it well and then she bounds on with her human family. I… Continue Reading
