The heart wants what the heart wants. My heart has decided it wants a blue pit bull. When I searched Google images for a picture of a blue pit, I found one named Isis! Pretty sure she belongs to someone. In 2009, when our Isis was still alive, before I had any plans to writeContinue reading “Someday my pit will come”

Companion piece to Bark and Lunge
Just finished Suspect, Robert Crais’ best work! Obviously, I’m biased, because it’s about a German shepherd. My mom introduced me to Crais’ Elvis Cole detective novels many moons ago. I’ve read them all and the standalones as well. They’re terrific. This one really spoke to me. Not just because it’s about a dog. I’ve readContinue reading “Companion piece to Bark and Lunge”
My very own Rez Dog
Do you ever wonder if domestic dogs would be happier if they weren’t confined by our homes? I keep my dogs inside when we’re not home because I’m afraid of them escaping or getting kidnapped or digging under the fence or annoying the neighbors by barking. They’re safer inside. When we’re home, we let themContinue reading “My very own Rez Dog”
Appropriate dog park behavior or party foul?
We haven’t been to the off-leash park in a while, so we thought we’d go Sunday during the Super Bowl, when we’d have it mostly to ourselves. Our favorite park isn’t fully fenced, but the play area is between a really steep hill and a waste treatment facility. One trail leads down the steep hill,Continue reading “Appropriate dog park behavior or party foul?”
The Accidental Teacher Dog
Mia and I helped socialize an 11-month-old Great Dane today. Back when Leo was a puppy and needed lots of stimulation, I sometimes took him to a large ball field at lunchtime hoping to find like-minded dog parents with suitable playmates for him. We also took him to doggie socials on weekends, but since heContinue reading “The Accidental Teacher Dog”
Pet Blogger Challenge
Rather than have an existential crisis about whether Rhymes with Safari counts as a dog blog, I’m gonna just jump in and participate in GoPetFriendly’s Pet Blogger Challenge. 1. When did you begin your blog? I started blogging in 2002, when I was living in Prague and working for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. 2. WhatContinue reading “Pet Blogger Challenge”
The Next Big Thing
Well, this is interesting timing. My friend Cami Ostman tagged me in the following author meme. I just created a page for my memoir, Bark and Lunge, and wondered if anyone would notice the new link over there to the left. Is it premature to publicize a not-yet-published work? Too late now. What is theContinue reading “The Next Big Thing”
Give doggies the gift of mental stimulation
I celebrated Christmas with my babies this weekend because I leave tomorrow for my traditional Los Angeles festivities. I showed a lot of restraint by only buying the kids one present. To Share. Am I stingy or what? Since it’s so dark, wet and cold around here, I’ve had to find creative ways to keepContinue reading “Give doggies the gift of mental stimulation”
