In case I haven't mentioned lately..


..I enjoy my relationships with dogs.

Dogs bring me a lot of joy and happiness and a kind of inner balance. They are like furry Buddhas in so many ways. Much has been written on this topic.

Only a couple dogs have lived with us but I know many. I meet them all the time. Deena likes to say that I'll cross any street to pet any dog. Be it a lazy sunbathing dog in Hawaii, a dog that decides to have puppies by our pool in Mexico, or dogs that live with friends, I meet them all and I love them all and they know it and they take me as they find me, right then, in the moment, and it's like we've always been friends and always will be.

Our new dog here is constantly cheerful, vivacious, and doing stuff that makes us laugh. I can't imaging not having that in my life.
