My Family

The newest victims of the nation’s foreclosure crisis are pets, which is extremely distressing to me. I love animals. I have 3 dogs myself – I actually have a kennel license in order to do so. I love them so much I couldn’t imagine my life without them. They are the first thing I think […]

Meet Abigail

Here’s me and Abigail on Good Day NY. She’s a very nice pug in need of a good home!!!

Gudrun’s Aura

This weekend we went to the pagan pride day celebration in Whittier and Gudrun and I got an aura photo taken: “The interpretation of the particular colors of Gudrun’s aura says that she “wishes to achieve inner peace and harmony in the world,” has and will “will work extremely hard using all (her) resources to […]

Gudrun Movie

My darling husband made this movie for my birthday. It is the best gift ever: Pom Chis are Chihuahua Pomeranian mixes…..

Dog Whores

I like wet dog noses resting on my skin, and feeling the fine, downy soft hairs of a sweet muzzle underneath. I love dogs, mostly all dogs. Possibly one or two I have met in my lifetime rubbed me the wrong way, but of the many thousands I have petted and cuddled, that isn’t too […]

Katrina Pets

I am so worried for all the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina. Ever since I have gotten a dog myself, I have had many nightmares where I have unintentionally abandoned my pet, trapping them in the house where their screams and cries wake me from my fitful sleep. If I were there I would be […]

Brave and Strong

in response to all the unkind things said about her Gudrun takes a moment to reflect at the Watts tower… little girl, brave and strong, poised to conquer the world…

Gudrun

Gudrun’s first day. She’s just come from jail and she is very insecure. Gudrun is named after the infamous Gudrun Ensslin who was the female leader of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, an art terrorist group from the 70s. Terrorism was different then. It had a chicness to it, which made it seem less like a dangerous […]

Dog Blog

We had a little guest staying with us for the past month. Her name is Rosa, a smooth coated Chihuahua mix. Bronwyn and Rosa are best friends, lying out on the deck all day sunbathing, letting their sugar cookie color fur get all warm and toasty. Ralph likes to cuddle up in Rosa’s bed, even […]

Tibetan Dog Monastery

I recalled a distant memory today, when pressed by sunny quiet. I told the story to friends over a late lunch. It was the kind of tale you start to tell before you know you’re going to, when remembrance takes over thought and appears like magic before your casual beloved. On a trip to Tibet, […]

My Dog’s Life

I am an overreacher. I am and have always been. It is not a function of my nature, which is probably less ambitious and more prone to lying in the pool of sunlight as my blonde dog Bronwyn is so fond of doing. I look at her, past my storyboards, dress dummy flocked with aging […]
