You Know You’re A Dog Person When…

You know you’ve become a total dog owner when you finish a loaf of bread, then hold up the plastic bag you were just about to toss in the recycle container  and think, “Hmm. . . . I could scoop up a couple of poops into this.” For more on greyhounds and information on fostering, please visit my wife Bonnie’s blog bonniesgreyhounds.com. Apologies to my regular visitors for not posting anything in a while. Can only promise you that I’ve been busy, busy, busy. Major announcement coming in next few days. Please stay posted. My best to you all...

Morning Light & Color – Walking Hollywood Park

As much as I’d like to stay in bed and keep warm on these increasingly chillier autumn mornings, duty calls. In this case, walking the dogs. As I’ve posted in the past, for those who’ve been following this site, my wife Bonnie and I have two retired greyhounds, Alex and Ava, ages 5 and 7 respectfully. They led lives as working dogs so retirement has not come easily to them. So every morning they rise with the sun and need to go to work, meaning one of us has to throw on some clothes and head out the door...
