To balance the posts lately about Lilly being less than great to Ginko, here is a dog video showing how much the dogs really do love each other. Our holiday message for 2011? Nibble on the ones you love. Ho ho ho!

A terrific cartoon by Gemma Correll is making the rounds on Facebook. It shows a female party goer making friends with the host’s cat. It’s funny because it’s true. While taking pictures of a bulldog named Margie at the Colorado Authors’ League party Saturday, a fellow writer asked, “Why are you doing that?”

As promised, some agility humor for our dog training friends who already have earned or aspire to earn a Master Agility Champion title (MACH) with their dogs. Meet Chaos, a nationally ranked Labrador Retriever who TWICE had to earn her 20th and final double-Q to get her MACH #5. All this … at the age of 10.

Tom took this picture the other night. Lilly likes to sleep on her back in the evenings. Sometimes, she brings one of her plush toys along. Here you’ll see just how much she loves her KONG Braidz Monkey that the fellas gave me when I toured the KONG factory in Golden, Colorado, earlier this year. It’s beyond cute.

Lilly, our intrepid canine heroine, is picky when it comes to toys she’ll fetch. However, she also remains connoisseur of the silliest sticks imaginable. Often she’d rather play with little more than a piece of mulch than the fanciest fetch toy out there. These photos tell that story.
Lilly takes FETCH seriously … as you’ll see.

A bear of a month means desperate measures of togetherness. Found this sight while racing around to put on pants so that I could drive down the mountain to check on my mom.

He had been tied up in an abandoned garage.

A few times each year, since we launched the blog in April 2007, we receive fan mail that includes pictures of dogs that make us laugh because they look SO MUCH like our canine heroine. Here is the latest. A puppy named Devlin.

Here is the video we promised. Lilly’s newest and (we think) funniest one to date. If you agree, please share far and wide … and let’s see if we can get it to go truly VIRAL.

My friend and pro writing colleague Allie Johnson, who is a world-class dog foster mom and animal welfare advocate not to mention the author of the awesome Pet Tips and Tails blog, asked me to help find this dog-friendly, kid-friendly border collie mix puppy a home.
Help us won’t you … by emailing your friends, using social media to spread the word?
Everything I know about her is below. Because Allie and her friend (whose granddad found the sweetie pup) are both resourceful dog rescuers … transportation to just about any U.S. location is probably possible, so don’t let her current location deter you.

Thanks to Facebook, I’ve become friends with the Aunt of Lilly’s (former) best, best friend (Katie, the borzoi). It seems love of the “Bozos,” as they are affectionately called, runs in the family. With Thanksgiving on the horizon, Dana and her crew are headed to Colorado. We’re having dinner at Katie’s old house next Monday.
I cannot promise off-leash play dates with a whole house full of borzoi. I cannot even promise group walks, if the weather allows. BUT, I will try to get photos of ME sitting in a whole pile of dogs with pointy, pointy noses.

I first blogged about the new German Wirehaired Pointer in town back in April. We’ve indeed taken some side-by-side walks over the months, but we still haven’t really had the time or felt they girls were ready to play together off-leash. BUT, I got to hang out at her house a bit last week and wanted to share these photos.

Oh, boy, do I have some puppy craving going on? Other girls might have biological clocks that tick for human babies, but my heart yearns for puppies. Not so much because I actually want a puppy right now. It’s more about the distraction and sense of possibility that they bring. Here are just a few new stinkers who have joined the families of friends.
