Finding Nemo: Tales of a Snow Dog

Just how deep was it? That’s what they’ll be asking years from now about the blizzard of January 2013 (aka Superstorm Nemo). Thanks to all the photos we took of our new pup — who’d stay in the frigid temps full time if we’d stay out with her — we can document the 14″ to…

What’s in a Name? Hopalong Cassidy

Our new puppy is a pouncer and a jumper and a hopper and a leaper. She pounces on balls, big and small, snow drifts and errant towels that wind up on the floor.  So after a few days of trying out a few monikers — Shadow, from the name of her litter; Kansas, the state…

Introductions Part 2: Our New Puppy

We were four in our household — three humans and one dog — until December 28, 2012, when we lost our beloved Aussie, Jazzy. Still reeling from our loss, we realized our barn/home was too big to be without a dog. So we went online — the same way we found Jazzy –and searched until…

Dogs Who Read, Read Bark!

I don’t read much, but my owners do.  They are big fans of Bark magazine http://www.thebark.com/content/magazine, which has as its motto, “Dog as My Co-Pilot” — a sentiment I can really get behind.  Each month the magazine features entertaining and informative material on dog breeds, training and the sheer joy of canine/human companionship. The current issues…
