This is a sad time for my wife Debby and I. Yesterday we had to make the toughest decision that any animal lover ever has to make. It was time to allow Cami to move on to the next phase of life. Cami now waits for us at Rainbow Bridge. The ravages of lung cancer and hip dysplasia were too much for Cami and it was clear that she was not the… Read More
It seems to me to be one of life’s cruelest twists of fate that humans are so long lived and animals that are so devoted to them have such short life spans. Our dogs are our consummate companions. In many ways they embody the best things that humans should aspire to be. Yet we don’t have enough time to spend with them on this earth to learn those valuable lessons.
A project that I have had in my mind for a while has been to do a photo book of dogs in the Finger Lakes region. The book would showcase dogs in all aspects of life from shelters, to family pets, to working dogs, and show dogs. I have been slowly building up a portfolio of photos that would fit in this type of project and I think I am ready to… Read More

The vet initially thought she may have been having a bad reaction to the pain meds she was on resulting in an irritation of her… Read More

One of the phenomenon that occur in our country that I fail to understand is the breed specific bans that have been implemented in various regions in the United States.

We do not ban guns but we… Read More
My dog Mojo here is making it an interesting past 24 hours. He has always been a very unusual dog and has many peculiarities. One of these is that he does not like to come into the house on his own once he is outside. Another is that he doesn’t really like to just come up to people and let them pet him or handle him. He will come within arms length…. Read More
So I am going to try a little bit of an experiment. Below is a very short very rough draft of an excerpt from a very long term project I have been working on. I am in the process of writing a book about my life with dogs. I hope you enjoy. Feel free to make comments, critiques, or suggestions. I am also including a few photos of the subjects of the book. My dogs love… Read More
I just read a report that Michael Vick won the Subway-sponsored BET Sportsman of the Year award. He also signed a new endorsement deal with Nike. Michael Vick is a convicted criminal yet he is being given awards and endorsement deals. He was found guilty of crimes and went to prison. Not the least of his crimes was killing defenseless animals. Just a quick comparison. Tiger Woods was a much greater player… Read More
