Doggie moment of Fame

I have a dog.

He likes to play ball.

I have to take a little time in the am and again in the pm to give him some love and attention.  Good thing too.  It is good for me.  I read a poem on Facebook this am about someone having to let go of their dog and make that hard decision to put their old dog to sleep.  Heartbreak.  Moving.  Tears flowing.

So it is good that the sun is coming out.  I'm letting it out here.  I've got to be careful not to let that out on my FACEBOOK page.  Really.  No one wants that depressing stuff.   AND I'll admit that this blog has suffered neglect as I use F'nbook instead of blog posts here.

SO...  here is a re-post of some recent Dog posts.

Winzer is a TV personality.  He is more well reviewed too.  To see his stuff try this link...

Allie does a news bit.  She did three little filler bits on the Dogromat.  We went in to support our local business.  It was cool.   It was way to early.  It was a little educational to see what they go through to make a part of your morning T V News show.  Silly mixed up antics between the news reporters in the studio and the reporters in the field.  Camera man getting the shot (or not) at the right moment.  It's a job.

Back to Winzor...

He was one of four big dogs who were on hand.  And there were another 4 small dogs at the shop that morning.  The young woman in the middle takes great care of the pooches at the Dogromat.  Bob the older man in the blue shirt is retiring.  Sold the shop to a local man who is going to keep it going and refresh it a bit.

I wish Alex best of luck.  The Venice Dogromat is a good service place.  Do it Yourself or drop off your dog and let them groom your doggie.

Many of my last 40 Facebook posts have a photo of Winzer when out and about.  On the beach.  At the Santa Monica Bluff.  About town.  He gets a lot of "likes" when I post his handsome mug on the page.  Perfect camera fodder.  He has gotten used to the..  Sit, Stay,  Click,  "Good Dog" routine.

When a few weeks after I moved out of the house Trisha told me that I had to take the dog I was surprised   He would miss the back yard and the boys I was thinking.  Then shortly after I realized.  She did me a favor  I have company.  I have someone to care for.  It makes me stop and think harder about what I need to do for hime and his needs.  Thereby planing my time better and incidentally doing more for me.  Healthy.  Walks. Timely meals.  (at the beginning and end of the day - as I still forget to eat lunches if at my computer)

This post is to say...  I Love My Dog.  He keeps me sane. He is my sidekick. 

Thank you God for my Dog.

He is a very good dog.

I strive to be the man my dog thinks I am.

It is a worthy goal.

IMHO having a dog is good for me.
