Wow, this has been a long time coming.

I have been talking about writing a blog to supplement  my column Canine Connection which is published every second Sunday in the North Shore news,  for a long time.  I have been poked and prodded by not only my friends but by clients and long time readers of my published columns and I finally found the nerve to do it.

My lengthy hesitation has been solely due to my squeamishness about technology and this whole virtual publication stuff.  As I write this I still have no idea if this is going to be published, how or where?   There are some things this ol-brain-o-mine just can’t wrap itself around and web site, blogs, social media stuff is not my thing. Give me a troubled dog who is a behavioural mystery and I can calmly and confidently figure it out within a short time but put a screen in front of me and ask me to create a web page?  Ugh…I sweat worse than when I have to sit down and organize my taxes.

In any case it is up and running now and I hope to be able to make weekly contributions about dog training, behavioural issues and general life with dogs including sharing my life with my dogs.

I’ll start this week with something simple like a few photos of my canine crew, past and present

Enjoy!

Piper- my gentle giant.  He has crossed over rainbow bridge but still in my heart

My little goof Raider, so much soul in those eyes!
