Anyone who has been fortunate enough to share space with man’s best friend will understand and appreciate the sentiments I’ve expressed in the following lines…Furry tales.Choco, oh Choco, naughty and sweet,Vocal and energetic, a bundle to greet.Endless activity, a whirlwind to behold,Sniffer par excellence, with a nose made of gold..At times exasperating, but always a…
Choco, our resident Capo, is aware he is not allowed on beds once the bedcovers are off and the beds are prepared for the night. As a result he utilizes whatever opportunity he gets in the daytime to lay claim to the territory. Dark clouds and considerable rainfall shortened the day yesterday. He seemed lost…
I am sure Choco would love to have weekends all 7 days a week. That’s the time he -& I- enjoy one other’s company to the maximum. His energy levels are higher than Dollar or all the other dogs we have fostered. I end up getting my whole body massaged every weekend. Dog Day Afternoons…

The furry angels have over tens of thousands of years, evolved into the best friends humans could ever get, embodying undying loyalty, unconditional love and eternal companionship. So many kings around the world have been buried ( rather cruelly…
.The nonverbal communication skills of canines are far better developed than us humans..They are able to convey so much more without having to use the spoken or written word..Undoubtedly, every canine parent will vouch for this. If humans around a canine show some alertness, sensitivity and willingness to learn, they will be able to pick…
..No sight can be more pleasing than a young child, utterly loving, completely trusting and partaking of -and spreading- joy to all and sundry. A puppy gazing up at the passing butterfly while catching its breath after gambolling on the grass of a meadow. Utter and completely unconditional love. Check out this Haiku.Loyal Friend.Eyes full…
..The wondrous joy and satisfaction of creating a new life, welcoming a new member to the family, is indescribable.
