Wants to Ride Like a Big Dog

When are they going to get into the truck?
I'd like to go for a ride in the truck.

All Smiles

Ah spring.

Fortune Telling

As I peer out into my future
I think I see a haircut.

Dog Psalm #82

Express your joy.

Movie Time

After I get my blanket just right I'll need a big bowl of popcorn -

oh and make it the sweet and salty kind in the big red bag, 

that stuff is delicious!!!

Indoor Grass

This inside grass is for me? Really?
I've been looking and looking outside and can't find any.

Thank you. Oh, thank you.

Snow Day

There is nothing sweeter 

than to be the first one to make tracks around the house.

Dog Psalm #63

Your angels are watching over you.

They are happy to give you a celestial tummy rub.

Dog Psalm #59

 

Patience is the passageway to happiness.

Dog Psalm #30

The Greatest Happiness is

to know peace unchanged

by changing conditions.

I'm Back!

It's a new year and I now live in a new location. 

No longer a city dog I'm a rough and tumble country dog 

who rambles dirt roads, encounters bears, 

follows deer trails, and finely discerns scat. 

I hunt black flies and lady bugs. 

I adore a labrador named Dudley. 

I've traded in sidewalks and curbs for 

rock walls and donkey paths.

 I've never seen a sky so blue

 or heard so much in silence.

I'm happy to be here in this New Year

and so happy you came too.

Holiday Snacking

Yes, Thank you. I do like cheese.

But I need a little help with the lid.

And sometimes the serving utensils are too big for me to handle.

I like it best at the nut bowl.

Dog Psalm 15: The power of Myth

WONDERING

How could a mouse carry that enormous

4 armed

man-elephant-deity

Ganesh?

He's hardly 4 inches tall.

He's remarkably sturdy even without feet

but still...

How is it possible? How can I believe?

  

OH! He's a God in his own right,

an agent of transformation.

 

That's why he wears the fancy coat

and always brings something to offer.

He does smell sacred.

Being A Greeter

At Plaid Stripe, a delightful store in Wayland Square for dogs and people, I sometimes am lucky enough to work as the store "greeter".  I'm born to the greeting profession. The task of greeting humans and dogs while tiring is endlessly rewarding and valuable beyond monetary compensation.
I'm inspired in my part time role of GREETER by
Eliar Larsen the Laguna Greeter.

The Laguna Greeter stood on California's Pacific Coast Highway for decades and welcomed and waved to people converging at the canyon, the interstate and sea. Mr. Larsen was a large man, who had a long gray beard, longer limbs and huge - nearly always in action -  waving, welcoming hands.  Weather never deterred him. He was a touch stone and apparition of sorts. A miracle of a man. 

I try and emulate the Greeter in my work and life.

Like him, I try and bolster humanity by being consistent:
never aggressive, always inquisitive; bestowing  Hellos.

Even without hands I can demonstrate
happy meetings, heartfelt greetings.

So many of the big lessons in life are mostly little...

 

Be on the look out.  Opportunities abound to

share your happy self.

Shake without splatter

"The ground is muddy
I run free, after the rain
bath-time is fun"
annon. dog haiku

The water color tells the tale. It WAS time for a bath.

Now Roxy can cruise around the house,
shaking to her heart's content
without splattering walls or people or furniture
as she gets every little hair back to its proper place.

While looking and feeling great in her
stylish sangria sunset
bathrobe.
