It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
5 Simple Ways to Get Your Dog to Pay Attention
Do you find yourself trying hopelessly to get your dog’s attention? Does “in one ear and out the other” sound familiar? Or does your dog find it easy to listen to you until he sees the dreaded mail carrier? Whatever the case, it’s important that us owners are able to capture and hold our dog’s attention. Just imagine the consequences if our dog ran onto a busy road and was not able to listen to us calling him back!

Papa's Pets.
My grandfather, (Papa as we've always called him, unless that is, you needed his attention, then a stern Richard would bring his head out of his bag of circus peanuts or away from the dog he was petting) built his life with calloused hands. Everything he did showed the blood and sweat he poured into it.

SANDY'S DOG
SHE WAS THERE WHEN I ARRIVED newly assigned to the unit meant for caring. We were there to “care” for those who were pushed aside and left on the doorstep of the general public. She was there sitting alone to herself “compromising,” she said, “...compromising the effect of not sharing her pups to a willing owner.” Not as giddy as the other women who chatted and sashayed about the front rooms of the Lowden workspace mulling over their “has dones”, “had to be dones” and “wanna dos” for that coming next session of days before or after work. She sat there writing notes of suggestion to herself. I stepped over to the table and, with a smile on my face, sailed a big “hello” and sat down across from her. “We have a slightly different program on this unit than at my last workstation… the women are all needing for “personal skills” help aren’t they?” Sandy Smits glanced up from her notes to reply, “They are all non-working, ambulatory and low to medium incidence mentally impaired… from birth. We have a lot to do if they will ever get into the “normal” swing of life.” She gazed back upon her notes and went silent again. “I can see they are going to be a handful. What are you detailing there? Special procedures for…” A smirk crossed her cheek and lips before they parted to speak, “No, I have to make a decision. I have to part with my little loves. I’ve just become a mother to a welp of Irish setters and have no clue as to where they are going. They can’t stay with me... us; we don’t have room to raise puppies… large nor small.” My eyes brightened. I had always loved the look presented by the setters flowing red... Auburn hair! Nose-to-tail auburn, seeming grace and undying energy! Try one on me, my children are young enough to grow on it and it on them. They would have a running buddy. We go out often. hiking trails and fields on any number of plant identification moments… we identify beneficial plants for medicine and wild edibles. He would be right at home with us!” How much for one… a boy preferably.” Now she smiled, “You hike?” I gave up my admission, “Only as much as time permits... And locally. Not further than out to our family patch in Indiana.”

Like the Award Show
When my brother learned we were getting a dog, he was not very interested. I mean, I'm sure he was interested, but he was also three, and very hyperactive, and more attached in that moment to figuring out how exactly the car door managed to both open and shut than sitting quietly in a pen taller than he was to be gentle with the puppies for an hour and a half.

An Unremarkable Dog
My dog is almost entirely average, in everything except maybe his ability to drool everywhere he goes. He's never saved a drowning kid or sniffed out drugs and sent criminals to jail. It took him a long time to be house-trained, and even longer to learn how to walk with a leash. I could never take him to school, he'd get too excited and scare the kids. He chases butterfly shadows and has never caught one. He always hides our shoes.

I will always love you, Reese Peanut Butter Butt Weinerkins. Top Story - September 2022.
MY RESSEKINS. You were the best. So soft and cuddly, so warm and snuggly. You always knew what was up, and were never afraid of jumping down, no matter what height you were at. Crazy dogger.
