My New Book

It's out! Yippee! My tail is wagging!

Famous Dogs: Changing History One Dog (& Cat) at a Time is available on Kindle. Don't know for sure what Kindle is, but Mom said it's good.

Next to the great dogs I wrote about, the best news is that my name is on the cover. Check it out on Amazon.

It's so much fun to be an author and it's special to write about the dogs and the cat in this book.

Meet Zoee Stockinger



Zoee

I want to introduce you to my new friend, Zoee. I haven’t actually met her yet but I’ve seen her picture. Her mom (Miss Marlyce) and my mom are friends.

I think it’s my duty as a grown-up one-year-old to give a fellow bichon the wisdom of my experience. So here goes, Zoee…

1.       Cuddle up and you’ll melt Miss Marlyce’s heart.

2.       The first thing to learn is the potty stuff. Humans seem to think it’s really important.

3.       Miss Marlyce’s voice will tell you more than her words.

4.       If she tries to teach you to do stuff, learn to do what makes her happiest. My mom taught me how to patty cake. She laughed every time I did it right. I patty cake for her every day because I like to hear her laugh.

5.       Don’t follow too closely or you’ll get stepped on. My mom is kind of a klutz and she steps on me a lot. I’ve learned to get out of the way really fast.

6.       Play with your food. I don’t know why but it makes it taste better.

7.       Don’t chase your tail. It’s fun but humans don’t like it.

8.       Share your toys with Miss Marlyce. She’ll think you’re adorable.

9.       If you have your own little house, make it comfy. It’s your own space.

10.   Smile at people and they smile back.

A Problem with the Internet

I can't smell it. Dogs need to smell to communicate! Anyone out there know how to design an Internet or a computer that smells good to us dogs?

Think about the possibilities: We'd let you know what we like. It would be a great advertising outlet for the folks that make our food, treats and toys. We'd know if there were any cats inside the computer or the Internet; Since bad guys stink, we'd know who you shouldn't talk to. We'd make new friends. Besides, our families will usually give us anything we want - so we control them.

Where are you problem-solvers? An Internet that smells good to dogs like me; that's the challenge!
