We love to visit our state parks. And one of our favorite parks to visit is Letchworth State Park. I think in the last several years it has become an annual visit to the park at least once a year. One of the reasons we love Letchworth State Park is that it is a huge park with lots of space. And that makes it a great place for us to visit with… Read More

Over the years there are three topics I have become increasingly interested in: The environment, Health, and Animal Welfare. I have engaged in these topics in a variety of ways from reading books and articles and listening to podcasts on the subjects to writing letters to government officials to encourage support or rejection of legislature, and donating to not for profits that support these causes. And finally it came to changing the… Read More

I love animals. Dogs and cats and the like. All the animals we let into our lives. The ones we share the most intimate moments with. The intersection between humans and animals has a profound impact on our world. It can be death and horror as is demonstrated in our factory farming of animals for food. Or it can be unconditional love and support as demonstrated with the bonds we form with… Read More

I love camping. My wife and I started going on regular camping trips years ago and it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences. Often when we camp we will take one of our dogs. But sometimes the dogs are not amenable to the idea. A few years ago We attempted to take Colton, our Bernese Mountain Dog, and River, our Border Collie, on a short camping trip together. We had… Read More

If you are a dog lover or have had multiple other cherished family pets in your life It may be hard to say who is your favorite. It might even feel wrong to single one out as favorite. We love them all so much. And they give us their whole lives. To think of having a preference for one over the other might feel like doing the others a disservice. But, I… Read More

One of my favorite things about a dog show is that there are always opportunities to learn. So many knowledgeable people to talk to about dogs. Different kinds of dogs. Different kinds of people. Doing different kinds of things with their dogs. Everyone leading different lives with different life experiences to draw from. Learning starts with seeing. An introduction. Something you never knew. Finding out that something exists that you were hitherto… Read More

September is once of my favorite months of the year. One reason it is a favorite is that one of my favorite events of the year takes place at the end of the month. The last weekend of September features the Wine Country Circuit Dog Show.

It is always a wild ride here. We have had as many of 7 dogs living in our house together. It is not always harmonious. Sometimes it is chaotic. But, over the last several years our family of dogs living with us has been shrinking. We were down to only two dogs living with us. We haven’t had only two dogs since my wife and I first started living together. As our… Read More

My wife and I have always loved dogs. Our mutual love of dogs is part of what we love about each other. And as dog lovers often do we can become attached to one breed of dog or another for unexplainable reasons. My wife knew that I secretly or maybe not to secretly always wanted a Siberian Husky. They are beautiful and amazing dogs. And one day my wife surprised me by… Read More

In our house we love dogs. My wife tries to proclaim she likes cats better, but I am not sure I believe her. We are or at least I am a dog person through and through. We have been fortunate to bring so many different dogs into our home over the years. Some dogs came to us as puppies and lived with us until old age. Other dogs came to us later… Read More
