Just a Dog

“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.” ―Orhan Pamuk, My Name Is Red

Dog lovers know a dog is not just a dog. They are our confidantes, our friends and the best listeners. They are our side kicks, our protectors and comedians. They enhance our lives. Our homes and families are fuller because of them.

My life has been blessed by 4 dogs to date. Nina, the mutt from the pound, was a mix of terrier and poodle. Annie, the runaway beagle with the saddest eyes. Oscar the Bassett Hound, literally the ‘doggie in the window’ at the pet store, and currently Monty (aka Handsome) the biggest Blue Tick Hound you’ve ever seen with a heart of gold!

This series celebrates my love of the dog and how they are all so much more than “just a dog”.
