I observe. I write. Therefore, I am.
I went walking up the neighborhood hill with Rainbow today. I don’t know whether a dog is a man’s best friend or not. I can only tell you that a dog is a woman’s best friend.
Training a puppy is like raising a child. Every single interaction is a training opportunity.

“Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer.” — Dean Koontz

Thank you to my buddies for being such gracious hosts.
