This blog was started back in 2007 by Paula and her Basset Hound Elise. I was asked back in August '09 if I would consider writing a post once a month with some other dog lovers. I have enjoyed helping to post here and to read other blogs that have linked in. I would also have to say I have learned a lot from all of you on dog ownership and care, gottten chuckles from the stories and incidents,

Pets as Christmas Gifts
One of the most endearing commercials you will see at this time of year is the one with the little girl, dressed in the Christmassy red night gown, who rushes down the stairs Christmas morning to find the gift she has wished for with all of her heart. A very cute puppy in a basket wearing a big red bow.
While the wishing for such a gift may well be true (not to mention a great marketing

A Dog Named Christmas
I have to say I am a big softy when it comes to Christmas movies. I know I have watched A Christmas Carol, A Christmas Story, and of Course A Charlie Brown Christmas probably more then a 100 times each.
I do not care for the remakes of A Christmas Story by the latest rising Hollywood star. Or any of the latest Hollywood spins on Christmas. In fact I was just commenting the other day that

A STUMP FOR A TAIL
You can't buy loyalty, they say
I bought it though, the other day;

I made my bid, and on the spot
Bought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness, so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small.
I bought a single trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.

Prayer
Every evening as I'm laying here in bed
This tiny little prayer keeps running through my head
God bless my mom and dad and bless my little pup.
And look out for my brother when things aren't looking up
And God, there's one more thing I wish that you could do
Hope you don't mind me asking but please bless my computer too?
Now I know that's not normal to bless a mother board
But just listen
