You Lying Dog!
Have you ever noticed
that dogs have no talent when it comes to lying? Time and
again, and then time and again, again (if that's
possible), we give ourselves away; in those rare moments when we
happen to commit an act of unintentional indiscretion. We have
a guilty look… Read full post »

The Guru
A number of the animals in the
subdivision have approached me recently, and requested that I
consider becoming the resident Wind Meadows World Teacher , Dog
Division. They feel that my evolution into a blog dog might
provide me with some keen insight into the proper pathway that a
dog sh… Read full post »

I've Got A Plan!
Dogs are not the species you would want
to bank your life on; if you needed to carry out an intricate,
multilayered plan in order to achieve riches, or save life and
limb. There's some deficit in our ability to follow algorithms ( or
to know what the heck an algorithm… Read full post »

Stick It!
Sometimes in a moment of reverie I hearken back to treasured
memories of my days as a young pup; when each moment was
seized by my mind (and my paws or jaws) with gusto. I was
eager for new textures, tastes and colors that would stimulate my
senses and innervate my… Read full post »

Storm the Bastille!
I may have opened a can of worms, (a
delicacy in the dog world) when I told my neighborhood doghouse
owners association about my readings on the French and American
Revolutions. This is not standard intellectual fare for
the canine crowd, but in my role as senior, sage, sapiential… Read full post »

That's Entertainment!
The Consummate Entertainer!
Within the parameters of a dog's
everyday obligations and responsibilities, one of our chief roles
is providing continuous entertainment to our family; and also to
any other bystanders or onlookers who might benefit from our daily
display of disarming inno… Read full post »

Shame On The Moon
Dogs and the moon; we
have a complicated relationship. Wolves, dogs and other animals
evolved under the influence of the moon. It watched over us
at night, exerted its subtle influence on our tides, and used its
reflected light to guide the hunt of our nocturnal ancestors.
In mytho… Read full post »

The Salty Dog
My home is in Racine
, Wisconsin just a block away from Lake Michigan, one of the Great
Lakes of the United States. My doghouse (the humans live here
too) is adorned by renderings of the Wind Point Lighthouse
that stands just a mile away. The lighthouse still

If You Could Read My Mind
If you could read my
mind, what a tale my thoughts would tell. If you were a
human, reading the output of my canine brain might be a bit of a
challenge. We dogs probably don't use the same "words" to describe
the environment as you do, or form the same mental… Read full post »

Poor in Spirit, Pure in Heart
Dogs possess
naturally, characteristics which certain humans have long struggled
after in their effort to attain the state of
consciousness necessary to apprehend the nature of Divine Reality,
and achieve transcendence, in accordance with the Perennial
Philosophy . The proponents of… Read full post »

That's Goofy!
One of the most
amiable animals in the annals of animation is Goofy D. Dawg,
Disney's anthropomorphic friend to Mickey and Pluto. Like me,
he's a dog who thinks he's a human. Pluto was created to
be a pet to Mickey, and like a real dog he has a limited
repertoire… Read full post »

That Darn Cat!
There's a new inhabitant in the
neighborhood who has already become a vexation to my spirit.
His name is DC, and he's a cat who thinks he is so
cool. Suave, debonair, graceful and elegant; those are the
words he uses to describe himself. He and I have been
engaging in ve… Read full post »

Born To Be Wild!
Dogs are genetic
descendants of the gray wolf, having been domesticated through
natural and artificial selection over the last 15,000 years, to
reach their current status as "Man's Best Friend". It's sometimes
forgotten, as we dogs prance along through the halls of Westminster
with our fancy… Read full post »

The Watchdog
Buffy in Watchdog Mode
The importance of
watchdogs in our daily lives is often overlooked. As we go
about our routines, we often take for granted the role these
sentinels play in ensuring our safety and stability. As a
spokesdog and shameless promoter of all things canine, I feel
the… Read full post »

The Solitary Snowflake
The character and
beauty of a single snowflake is often lost in the shuffle, when
it's short , unpredictable life is spent amidst the crowd;
one of so many of its kind, descending from the sky in the midst
of a winter's snowfall. The intricate pattern,
the exqu… Read full post »

I Wondered (Poetry)
I wondered, solitary
mind
That eyed the hues of sea and hill
Where into view came kindred kind
Lonely dream, moon's reflection still
Upon the shore, in shade of oaks
Silently, gently the waves broke
Sun rose, time's meandering way
Altered stillness of sheltered cove

Cornered!
Exiled in the Corner!
My usual run of the
house has become more restricted over the last few months.
The masters feel I'll be safer if I'm gated into an area of the
kitchen that, while quite spacious and luxurious as dog abodes go,
is not quite the penthouse living that I've… Read full post »

Catch a Wave!
Catch a Wave and You're Sitting On Top of The World!
The cold Wisconsin
winter has set in; it's snowing, frigid, it gets dark early.
It makes a dog dream of sunny climes and the lure of a surfboard on
a sandy beach. You may be surprised to learn that certain

Gonna Buy Me a Dog
It is well known that
dogs are inspirational beings; their faces have launched a
thousand ships, they have been the subject of odes, they've
engendered musical compositions created by some of the great
artists of our time. Whatever the genre; country, rock, pop
or showtune, dogs an… Read full post »

Man Bites Dog !
It used to be that a
dog could count on a headline like "MAN BITES DOG" to garner
immediate attention and concern, generate voluminous hits from
incredulous readers, and cause an outpouring of sympathy for the
canine victim. Nowadays people read about this type of animal
on animal assau… Read full post »

Blame My Selfish Genes
Whenever I'm with the
other dogs, and "piggishly" eat the whole bowl of food that was

even though the master is dog tired from a long day's work and just
wants to rest; whenever I'm feeling guilty… Read full post »

Wind Meadows Winter Races
