- This blog is about the dogs in my life. And maybe motherhood. Wifely duties. A deep affinity for the amber liquors that bolster my ability to endure all three. But mostly about the dogs. Dogs I once owned, and the dogs to come.
- You’re welcome to share stories about your dogs. Same for the motherhood and wifely duties crap.
- Blog Rating: PG-13. May contain adult situations.
- I will, however, refrain from unnecessarily foul language.
- In keeping with the greatest animal writers, and out of respect for animals, I will work hard to avoid anthropomorphizing dogs and for that matter, all of God’s creatures.
- Count on regular references to literary dogs. (And by this I mean, for example, Tulip. Not Philip Roth.)
- I’m not a religious freak; that “God’s creatures” business was just me unable to think of another word for animals.
- Chipmunks may talk from time to time. Because chipmunks, and I think history proves this, deserve it. Maddening little motherfuckers.
- I will continue posting for 6 months and then reevaluate. That gives me until… hang on…counting ahead from the day I launched….December 21st. The winter solstice. My goal has a name! Now it’s definitely my end date. I believe this to be a sure-fire sign of a book deal.
- Recall point #1; this is not about a getting book deal, it’s about my dogs.
- Wow. The winter solstice! Shortest day of the year. Interestingly, this is also my parents’ wedding anniversary.
- My father died 12 years ago. My mother has been happily remarried for years. Her new anniversary is in May.
- I will not end any blog lists on the number 13. Who gets selected to adopt a beautiful Brittany, much less lands a book deal, by not attending to superstitions? I don’t stop on sidewalk cracks either; please reference #12 for substantiating proof point.
- I will post a few times a week. That is the all I can offer you.
- I should be clear; I don’t actually HAVE a dog at the moment. I’m between animals.
- And finally, I will stop before the cutesy, devicey stuff gets to be too much.
- Or shortly thereafter.
