How we are all connected

January 21, 2009

Today, I heard from a long-time reader who emailed me just to let me know she was still reading and that she had been enjoying the blog ever since she first saw it.
Wow! Whenever I get an email like this, it is truly a humbling experience. Even though the DogWalkBlog gets lots of traffic, when [...]

Another reason GenY is not taken seriously

November 14, 2008

I found this on the guest blogger application form at Brazen Careerist. If your blog has been running for at least a month. Really? Only a month? I know Internet time is compressed, but I would hope they would want just a little more experience than that.
I’ve been blogging for over three [...]

No party for old men

November 7, 2008

It is sad what the Democrats are doing to Joe Lieberman. The only “sin” Sen. Lieberman committed was having opinions that did not quite align themselves with the new leadership. 
I looked up the Senator Oath of Office. It reads:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United [...]

The election is not about race

November 5, 2008

Sure, Barack Obama is African-American and yes, he is the first black president of the United States of America and that is historic. But, he is also a really smart man who knows how to inspire greatness in others and instill dreams that people act on instead of just wishing and praying.
Obama was elected because [...]

Thank you, Debbie

November 1, 2008

This was sent to me by a fan. She writes:
Sometimes my life needs a little perspective. I decided after waking up very frustrated this morning to take 5 minutes and watch this….I’m so glad I did. I am going to have a great day! I hope you do too!

I’m glad I [...]

Pay attention to the news cycle and do something with it

September 13, 2008

Yesterday, I received the monthly issue of Association News, read the front cover and was immediately in awe of the level to which this organization is paying attention to the world around them.
One could say that the choice of featuring Arizona was merely coincidental or that the state was next on the calendar [...]

Eat dessert first

July 14, 2008

I read the Wall Street Journal. I have since I was a young puppy when I got my first job at Dog Pound, Inc. While my peers always flipped to the Money sections, checked the stock quotes, etc., the first section I read was MarketPlace. This is where all the “life” bits happened which drove [...]

Naomi’s first club walk

June 1, 2008

Dog walking with Rufus, Grep, Molly, and Bingo is so much fun because I get to pet all the dogs. I did the dog oath, the dog handshake, and they where good. I get to play with the dogs and take pictures.
I rode my bike to start. I like walking better. We walked to Mambos’s [...]

Hey Annalisa from Michigan!
Hope your pooch’s ear is ok. Looking forward to hosting your team at the 2008 adidas Warrior Soccer Classic! We’ll stand in the back of the room, tipping back and getting “sshhhh’ed” at the ref meeting.
Can’t wait!!

Peeing on a friend

May 10, 2008

Today, I lifted my leg and peed on a good friend for no reason at all. I knew as I was doing it I shouldn’t be and felt very badly afterwards, but did it anyway. I hope she will forgive me and be patient with me again.

Party? What party?

May 5, 2008

I was settling in and almost asleep when some idiot on CNN was railing on and on about how this Clinton/Obama race is tearing the party apart, that it is bad for the Democrats, that they need to heal together to win the election in November. And, then as I hit that level of rage [...]

It’s a crappy job, but…

May 5, 2008

Ok, I live with some really cheap people. They re-use the plastic bags they get from trips to the store. So, I thought I would rank the bags in order of quality and fitness for “the job.”
#1 TARGET: This is not only a really cool place to shop, but their small plastic bags are excellent [...]

We’ve upgraded and moved from Blogger

May 1, 2008

Hi fans,
Just a quick note to let you know that we have moved from our Blogger blog. It was just way to confining. We are now on a self-hosted Word Press Blog and hopefully, we will have a lot more flexibility!

I’m getting a visit from a fan!

April 21, 2008

I’m so excited!! My littlest fan is coming to see me today. I sure hope she brings me a hot dog from Speedway on the corner of Taywood and Main
I just wanted to remind her that my tail is really big and bushy, but I don’t like people touching it. And make [...]

Clinging to my walks

April 18, 2008

I recently had the opportunity to take a ride through Red State America along Hwy 35 through southern Ohio, West Virginia and onto Interstate 64. The ride was a bit odd as I emerged from Dayton, the rich, white, mall-laden Beavercreek into the hills, holler and trailer-park homes that lined 35 for miles upon miles.
I [...]

Age

April 12, 2008

In June, I will be 8 years old, which in human years makes me about 56. I am becoming a dog of “a certain age.”
My most favorite thing to do is to curl up naked at the foot of the couch, with my owner’s toes against my tummy, my head on his leg, staring into [...]

To my littlest fan…

April 7, 2008

Is there a text in this election?

March 17, 2008

Oh, brother. Why is this DNC nominating process so hard for the common people to grasp? And why is the misinformation being fueled by the press? I saw the same thing happening when Bill Clinton was being impeached. The “mob” saw Clinton’s impeachment as him being thrown out of office. But wait, the Senate actually [...]
