Thursday Tiptoe Through Tulips

On this rainy Spring morning my dog Valentino found these purple tulip flowers in bloom right around the corner from our home. Like Thursday's Child who is wise and sad as well as merry and glad, Valentino did not have far to go on this dog day of the week to find tulips to remind you to...

Take time to tip-toe through the tulips!

Dog Walk With the Sun

Dog Valentino with Daffodils
Today was a perfect Spring day for a walk with my dog Valentino. We walked in search of a bit of sunshine and we found it walking along our way.

Daffodils reached up to greet us along our way and seemed to say in their own special way, "Today is a perfect day for a walk with the sun!"

Not a thing rings truer to Spring than the golden bell flowers of Forsythia. These seemed to reach out to Valentino as he walked on by, pausing for a moment for me to capture the sunlight on camera.

Our quotography for the day is now one of our dog pawsitive tidbits available on a picture postcard ... WALK with the SUN!

When our walk in the sunshine is done, my dog Valentino, whom I adore, finds himself a sunbeam inside and settles in for an afternoon nap on the floor while I ready myself for an evening at work.

Happy Puppy Day USA

Here in the USA today we celebrate National Puppy Day. My hound dog and I spent a couple of hours this afternoon walking the neighborhood and playing in the yard. Now we are settling in for a restful evening and good night of sleep.

Barrel of Fun at the Dog Park

While at the dog park I have a tough time getting my dog to play on the agility equipment provided. My dog is just too distracted by his four-legged friends to focus on anything other than having a barrel of fun.

With encouragement from a pair of Weimaraners (and their humans) my dog Valentino jumped up into the barrel and crawled on through. But of course, a small chunk of Lebanon bologna was the prize awaiting him at the end of the tunnel.

We three humans agreed ... "Dog People" are the best!

Everyone at the dog park at Walnut Woods is as friendly as their dogs and that makes for a pawsitively perfect place to spend more than a tidbit of our time. There will be other times and other places to run Valentino through some agility training. For now, we are content to enjoy our play time together at the dog park.

Gravy Train Dog Treats

My dog Valentino enjoys watching the train pass by, as seen from right in his own back yard. Perhaps he thinks it is his very own gravy train of dog treats, ha!

My Dogs Rock In A Hard Place

We humans occasionally find ourselves between a rock and a hard place. It is then that our canine companions become our best friends.

I consider myself ever so fortunate to have dogs to walk alongside me on my life journey. Over the years, two of these dogs have truly been my soulmates -- my rocks when I found myself in a hard place.

My dog Tidbit, my rock when I was in a hard place.

My dog Tidbit was my rock in a hard place for fourteen years. I always considered her the canine of my soul. In her end, she led my way to find my dog Valentino. He, too, has become my soulmate. How lucky I am to be graced by the presence of both of these heart dogs in my life.
