The Dog Blog
http://www.dogstoryblog.blogspot.com
I'm not a dog lover. I come from a family of dog lovers, and we've always had dogs, but I'm not one of those people who adores animals at large. For me, it's about one dog. The dog who'd been with my for most of my adult life departed in December, after more than 17 years, and he may have been my last. But even though I'm not a dog lover, stories keep arising that make me say, "Dogs are incredible". Or sometimes, "Dogs are dumb". I firmly believe both. I expect to demonstrate both here.

Lately I've been really hung up on something I ended up calling, by need of a blanket name to cover all its possible manifestations and ramifications, "dog love." It started in an email to my professor friend, who is caught in a tangled father-figure...
Global Warming Outside my Window

Don't Mind Your Own Business
I've been thinking and thinking about Harley, and if I can come out of this experience with anything to say besides, "this sucks!" and "I'd like to kill that guy!" and "that poor baby" and the like, it's this: Don't stay out of it. I know it's ki...
RIP Harley
Months ago, I made a series of posts about the German Shephard next door to my parents. He was a very nice dog who spent all of his time in the back yard, tied to a tree with only a few feet to roam, with no shelter except a dog house that was sever...
Animal Stories
I ran across a blog today that's all about animals...not dogs, for the most part, but exotic animals--some I'd never heard of. Most of them seem to reside in Africa, which might explain my lack of exposure. If non-domesticated animals had their own...

Dog Training Said:
German Shepherd lies in mud...Well as long as the dog wasn't complaining then it was perfectly OK. All too often humans place their own emotions and lifestyles onto our canine friends. It is perfectly natural for a dog especially one of the working breeds to be outside in the rail. My own Border Collie chooses to lie in the middle of the field when it is raining. He has numerous other options as in the barn, or the farmhouse but prefers to be outside. German Shepherds have double water resistant coats and care nothing of the mud or the weather conditions.
