Our chihuahua Diego’s favourite time of the day is when I tell him, “we watch TV!” He looks up expectantly and runs into the living room. We’ll sit down on the couch and Diego will jump up on one of us and settle down for a sleep and gentle rubs. […]

A Dog Named Beau
Today is the day I first heard actor Jimmy Stewart read his poem about his dog Beau. You should hear it too. It’s beautiful. I can’t post something about dogs and not include a photo of my dear little Diego. His muzzle is a little greyer than in the photo […]

My dog is the master of this
