We too are a member of the secret dog society. For years my best friend related that she could not go on many vacations since she had two dogs. How silly I thought to let a dog rule where and when you could go and come. Hah! She was so right…we have a boston terrier (Oliver) that we MUST seek accommodations for when we go on vacations. HOTEL accomodations that is, he is much too precious to stay in the Pet Hotel!

Pictures are oohed and ahhhed over for years of our children, both the one human son we have and the black and white son that we also cherish. Never thought I would be a member of a doggie society and now we are!

love your previous recipe, I like beet, but not hubby. I love your doggy pix, so cute. I’ve never been one for any organized social anythings either. I remember when I got my dog, that canine club was fun, but now everyone gushing over the kid is better. I gave away my crazy chow to a couple with no kids, her personality was too strong. She wasn’t protective, just nippy and jealous like a poodle. When we get a house, I’m getting a big outdoor, and I know indoor to snuggle, mix of some kind. I cant wait!

“I hope that’s a leaf.” Ha! My favorite line of this post.

Man, I miss my dog so much. It’s been almost 2 years since he passed away, and I can still feel the silky-soft sweetness of his floppy jaws and ears. Every couple of months I visit a local “rescue” website and send my husband photos of the dogs available for adoption. We’re not ready for another dog just yet, but… maybe soon.

Oh, how I miss your smiley face around this grey and dreary place. Thankfully, I’ll being released from duty March 12. And, oh, how I’m counting down the days. Sounds to me like you are adapting quite well to homemaking.

I was just thinking about you and wondering if you were enjoying puppyhood. Sounds like you are! Mazy Grace is adorable! I am so happy to hear that you’ve joined the secret dog society.

This is the kind of dog I want to have maybe not now. We went through a lot of dogs but we don’t have one right now. My sister’s dog Zoe is a shi tzu just visited us this afternoon. She is excited to see people more than meeting other dogs. She’s hungry all the time. She know how to go up the stairs but doesn’t know how to go down. She brightened up my day today.

I have a mutt. Terrier-ish mutt. His name is Moag. Short for Mogli. He was named after the boy, Mowgli, in the Jungle Book. Though we dropped the W because, well it was during the dark years of George when we acquired Moag, we were dropping W’s wherever we could.

He came from the pound already an old man. It was literally his last day on this planet when my friend Helen discovered him. She just had to adopt him and bring him home. It was his last chance.

Once she got him home. It became obvious that he was damaged goods. He had spent a very long time in the pound. Survival meant showing a fierce face. It was how he was. But this fierce face did not work with the gentle dog she had been living with a very long time. She was distraught. Taking him back to the pound meant 3 strikes…

She asked us to foster him. We agreed with the caveat that he could not stay long. We had lost a beloved boy pug dog a couple of years earlier. I felt I could never love another dog. I felt bad for Moag, but he was a temporary boarder in my mind.

But you know what? His fierce face was a coping mechanism. He was a lot like me. Snarky on the outside. Scared as shit on the inside. We shared a lot of secrets that dog and I. We grew into a place where we both accepted that the other was damaged goods, and decided we were ok with that.

Moag lives lives with me now, and forever.

Lovely dog! Reminds me of a springer spaniel we used to have when I was growing up.

I’m a total dog person so I would be one of those people, down on one knee, asking all sorts of questions when I saw that adorable dog. I have pictures of Moose plastered up all over my office from pup to recent, same as the kids. Says something doesn’t it?? LOL
