  As I begin this post, I have a number of thoughts surfacing from the sea of events and current affairs.  I am concerned that the North Koreans' attack on the South Koreans will result in escalated military actions.  A record number of Americans (especially households with children) worry this season about providing ...

Cosmo Kramer was a semi-fictional character in the television sitcom "Seinfeld" and was usually referred to simply as "Kramer".  The latest weekly topic at my house has been the cosmos (and I don't mean Kramer).  There are some characteristics shared by both cosmos and (Cosmo) Kramer:  both have no visible ...

  There has been a lot of debate over many years regarding the physical and mental capabilities of dogs.  Do they see color?  Do they feel emotions?  Do they love?  People are always trying to scientifically prove and quantify whether things are real and how real.  After centuries of dogs being "man's best ...

  Albert Einstein stated it well in his theory of relativity in regards to time.   Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity predicted that time does not flow at a fixed rate: moving clocks appear to tick more slowly relative to their stationary counterparts. But this effect only becomes really significant at very high ...

  I have often wondered what my life would have been like had I not come to live with Alice and Royce.  What if I were a dog in any number of third-world countries or just a homeless dog in this country?  Life for such a dog is much more of a struggle than I can even imagine.  In some places I have heard that dogs are not ...

 I've heard this advice many times: if something is not working for you, perhaps it is time to take a different approach.  For whatever reason, we all get mired in bad habits of doing things the same way even though it may meet resistance and result in confrontation each time.  It is easy to keep on keeping on and much harder to ...

  I am a fortunate dog.  I have not had to scrounge for food or shelter and have never lacked for love or attention.  I count my blessings everyday that I am able to carry out my purpose in life which is to be a faithful, obedient, and steadfast companion to my people.  There are many dogs that are not so fortunate and ...

  I get to meet a lot of animals and people in my travels about Sun City Texas.  There are some that become good friends and some that are more than that- they are an inspiration.  I have always aspired to be the best dog that I can be and try to give something to everyone that I meet if only a lick or a sympathetic ear.  ...

 Being of the doggie persuasion, I admit that I see things from a doggie point of view.  However, this does not mean that I am not open to many other views,opinions, etc.  After receiving some flak regarding the mostly doggie submissions to this blog from some members of the feline species, I am finally able to speak of a cat ...

On my walk this morning I passed by Bella's home.  I hate to say this but Bella and I don't get along very well.  It is even harder to admit it is my doing.  You see when I was a much younger and immature adolescent, Bella was just a puppy.  Being such an Alpha personality then, in what was not one of my prouder ...
