Here’s to Music,
Joy of joys!
One man’s music’s
Another man’s noise.

Monkey here.
Been missing me??
Well, I’d have rather been anywhere than where I’ve been for the past few days.
Wordless Wednesday

A Dog’s Prey Drive
Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. ~Author unknown
Monkey here.
Mama’s been tied up with stuff — a flurry of work, various appointments, and a visit from the Domer — so I seized her laptop for a post of my own. Cool.
Here’s what I’m wondering: What is it with humans and food?
Monkey’s First Post
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers. ~Proverb
Monkey here.
I understand my predecessor — a beauty by the name of Dallas — regularly took over Mama’s blog, and she figured you might like to hear from me once in a while, too.
If I had something to say, of course.
Well, I do!
Another Monkey Update
Happiness is a form of courage. ~American proverb
When I lost my beloved Dallas, I told myself I didn’t want a replacement.
That no pup would ever take Dallas’s corner of my heart.

Then I found Monkey.
Puppy Woes, Part Three
Some people succeed because they are destined to, but most people succeed because they are determined to. ~Author unknown, 1960s

My previous post probably struck you as pretty depressing.
Well, read on.
Puppy Woes, Part One
Don’t let a bad day make you feel like you have a bad life. ~Author unknown
Do you ever feel you’re living under a dark cloud? One that’s constantly spewing forth a cold, hard, driving rain?
That’s been my life for two months now, and those who know me will realize it’s about the same time a new puppy came into it.
Owning Up … Again
A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying… that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. ~Alexander Pope, English poet
Sully, working on carrying a stick and leash-training
I’m not sure where I got the idea I was supposed to use Puppy Pee Pads to house train a dog, but I’m here to tell you … DON’T!
