dog
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.
A Case Of Mistaken Identity
It was a hot summer afternoon when I realized I needed to run outside to get something that I had left in the car earlier that day. As I was about to go back inside my house I noticed a little dog on my neighbor’s porch. I knew he didn’t belong to my neighbor, as they had three big dogs. Being one of those dog people, who would love to pet every dog, I called the little guy over. He came happily wagging his tail, and though he was a little shy at first he warmed up to me pretty quickly while enjoying getting some attention.

The Deer Catcher
It has been ten years since I said goodbye to the only dog I have ever raised, and, unashamedly, I must say that I miss him more than some of the relatives I have lost. This might seem extreme, rude, maybe even horrid, but I can say with all the honesty that I posess, my dog, Muttly, was the kindest, most intelligent, wild, charming, dedicated, respectful being I have ever known.

A Friendship Like No Other
I’m tied to the dock as a gale grows outside the protection of the bay. Snow is piling up on the sailboat, but tonight I’m not enjoying the warmth from the woodstove aboard Capricorn, the 27ft sailboat I call home. Instead, I’m worriedly perched on her aft deck, peering through the falling snow and into the darkness. Searching.

The Adventures of Peanut Butter
A loyal friend, a ray of sunshine when your sad, and a comforter when you are not feeling well. That is what a dog is to us humans. A best friend unlike any other is what every puppy sets out to be for their people parents and siblings. This story is about a puppy just like that, a puppy named Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter is a beautiful and adventurous puggle puppy. A majestic and energetic young lady with an abundance of love for all. Peanut Butter loves the attention of everyone she meets, and she goes above and beyond to make sure they give her that attention. From laying so pretty in the grass staring at people on their front porch, to rolling over so they can rub her belly if they come close enough. Her tail is always wagging, and it gets faster as her excitement grows, sometimes spinning in circles really fast.

The Adventures of Argos
Dear website thing Momma spends too much time on, My momma has told me all about this weird online thing that she writes on. I don't really get the point. I would prefer to knock her phone out of her hands so she can pet me and play fetch... but I heard that there's a new challenge about your canine companions, and I like when things are about me.

Love Goldens - Buddy
How does one express the love they have for their dog? For the past 9 years I have lived and fulfilled some lifetime dreams. Dream #1 - owing a Golden Retriever and Dream #2 - Becoming an ethical and honest breeder. In December of 2012 - Buddy and Holly joined our family and things have never been the same. I honestly don't even know where to start with my BUDDY, he seriously was the funniest, sweetest and most entertaining dog I have ever owned. He made me laugh on a daily basis. We lost Buddy unexpectedly on September 29, 2021 and his passing has impacted my life on so many levels. I realized that writing about Buddy and trying to capture the gifts he brought to this world - would not only be a healing process for me, but some of you dog lovers out there might enjoy reading my Golden Tales.

Viking Warrior Princess
When we rolled up to look at a property six years ago, we weren't planning on gaining two new members of our family. The plan was to adopt a dog or two after purchasing a home and establishing ourselves a bit more. We were considering adopting from the local Humane Society when we were ready. Instead, this dog-lover (me) stuck her foot in her mouth when the realtor noted our interest in the home and property, and informed us that the previous owners were looking to rehome their two dogs upon moving. After viewing other properties, my husband and I placed an offer for that home the same day. During negotiations, one questioned remained; are we willing to take the dogs? After my husband shot a glare at me, he stubbornly stated "Yes, we were serious about the dogs." That is the short story of how we became proud dog parents of Remington and her step-brother Gus. While we still have and love Gus, this story is about Remington and how she earned her title of "Viking Warrior Princess."

My Brother, A Dog
I had the best life; one any cat would love to have. I lived with a sweet kind little old woman. Our life was the best it could be. We’d get up with the sun have a nice breakfast together while we watched the news. Then she would get up and say, “It’s time to exercise Samantha.” And she would reach for this little thing that would shoot out a beam of light. It was so much fun chasing that around the room.

Wavy Dane
We all have that special little or big creature that has stolen our hearts. They are the best things to ever happen to us. Their loyalty, companionship and emotional support is beyond human comprehension. Yet we can still FEEL it. Can’t we? No matter the size or breed this sentient being has us wrapped around their paws. Dragging us in to give them one more treat, one more hug, one more walk. The big paw that has me wrapped around and around is whopping 130 pounds of love. When he first rescued me I found him drenched and muddy. But who cares? I didn’t. He slept in my bed that first night and hasn’t left since.

Pop's Gesture of Kindness
I had a cold. This was when Covid had just begun to make news headlines, so in reality I probably had that. Lots of people had the same suspicious cold around that time and felt the same way about going out, so being careless about it didn't make anyone a bad person yet. I was not a bad person for it. I had to tell myself this, that I wasn't a bad person, for anything that I'd ever done.
