This blog is a tribute to Belle, and all the dogs who have come before and after. They are my friends, my companions, my teachers and my students. They bring me both joy and heartache, laughter and tears. There is nothing as sweet as the smell of puppy breathe, and nothing as sad as the final goodbye.

Home Cooking For Your Dog (and cat)


I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by author Christine Filardi last night. If you are concerned about the foods you are feeding your dogs and cats then I highly recommend attending one of her lectures. She shares important information on home cooking/raw diets vs store bought pet food. She does a great job explaining nutritional requirements and her meals are simple and quite do-able.

My Timo


"As a white candle,
In a holy place,
So is the beauty,
Of an agd face."

Another gem from the terrierman.com blog ~



To Tell The Truth


Do you recognize her?


The lady holding back the Borzois is is Kitty Carlisle, aka Kitty Carlisle Hart, who was born on September 3, 1910 – and died on April 17, 2007 at the age of 96.

Kitty Carlisle was a regular panelist on the television game show To Tell the Truth, where she provided a great deal of over-the-top cultural grace to her panelist duties. She seemed rich and cultured because she actually was rich and cultured. Married to playwright and director Moss Hart, she herself was a singer, actress and spokeswoman for the arts. She was was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame, served for 20 years on the New York State Council on the Arts, and received the National Medal of Arts from President George H. W. Bush in 1991. Oddly enough, her Jewish grandfather had been a Confederate gunner on the iron-clad Virginia (formerly the Merrimack), which fought the iron-clad Monitor!
