Your Dog: A Good Friend, Indeed

Happy Martin Luther King Day!  In honor of Reverend King, I present this post about good friends who provide us the help we need.

I received a very touching e-mail from Pete Dowan, a songwriter who is disabled.  He states that when his condition was first diagnosed, he needed a little help each day to keep going.  His poodle/chihuahua mix, Scuttle, provided motivation for him to get out and walk everyday.  When Scuttle passed away at the age of 17, Pete wrote this song in his memory – it’s absolutely beautiful!

Sometimes I think I have the dogs from hell. And what’s weird is that even when one dog passes on and we get another, the traits continue.

Resolutions for your Dog

Leave a comment

Have you given any thought to New Year’s resolutions yet?  I normally don’t make them, but this year I am really trying to get in shape, so I am going to make a resolution to walk my dogs at least 3 times a week. 

Many of you may be gasping, “You don’t walk them every day?????”  No, I’m a bad, bad mommy.  With four dogs and a huge backyard, they do get quite a bit of exercise, but I know that’s no excuse.  So, I’m committing to three nights a week.

How about you?  Any dog-related resolutions?  Let us know with your comments below.

BTW, when I searched our media site for “New Years Dog”, the above picture popped up, captioned “Happy New Year from Buster”.  Isn’t he cute!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
