Columbus!
Last weekend, we had the opportunity to cross the border to the east and visit Columbus, Georgia. Stephen was there for a work event that would take up most of our Saturday, and the dog and I tagged along for the ride. It’s a quick trip, just about an hour and a half. Columbus adjoins […]
Walk ‘n Wag and the Year of the Brown Earth Dog
Walk ‘n Wag, on October 6, is one of my favorite events of the whole year. I love that having so much fun with our dogs helps raise money for the Montgomery Humane Shelter to help other dogs. I love seeing my friends out in the sunshine at the Blount Cultural Park with their dogs. […]
A Trip About a Dog
Typically, I blog about quaint small towns with delicious pizza or my first trip to a classic tourist destination. But today’s post is a little different. Don’t worry though, there’s still food involved. My husband, David, and I don’t travel much during the holidays, most of our family members live within a half-hour drive. Our […]
Our Dog’s Sunday
We’d been saving newspaper for about six weeks, and it was time to take it to the shelter. Sometimes the stack of newspaper gets large enough that you worry about the perceptions that visitors might have. The shelter always wants newspaper to line the puppy cages with, so we loaded up the dog (because she […]
Tis the Season for Allergies!
Spring approaches, peeking around the cold corners of winter. I sense it on these warmer afternoons when the air smells like promise. The dogs are so slap-happy to get some time to lie in the afternoon sun before a chill brings their little bodies back to the warm house. I love spring and all its […]
At The Dog Show
As all of our traditional holiday events start cranking up, some of my favorite happenings are the bi-annual dog shows at Garrett Coliseum. This year, the events will be held on Saturday, Nov. 21-22. The Saturday show is sponsored by the local Montgomery Kennel Club, and the Cahaba Valley Kennel Club from Birmingham will host […]
Neighborhood Goes to the Dogs
Usually when you read or hear that a neighborhood has “gone to the dogs,” that’s a bad thing. It implies decay, disinvestment, etc. But in Montgomery’s historic Garden District, it means the neighborhood is celebrating National Night Out with its annual Pups On Parade. Last night was the sixth annual occurrence of this mile-long parade […]
For the Love of a Dog
I recently helped find a home for a dog whose owner was forced to move to a nursing home. I did not know this man; I did not know the dog either, but a home health nurse called me when she found the dog had simply been put outside to fend for itself. Maybe a […]
Fostering Hope
What a blessing it is that spring is finally here! Days of watching gray skies and drizzle have given way to sunshine and warm breezes. It’s sort of a rebirth, a clean slate, a new chance. Each spring, I feel motivated to do something new. Why not? Life is about learning and experiencing joy, and […]
River Dogs!
Last weekend I performed as part of the 75th anniversary of the Coon Dog Cemetery. We had a fabulous time and shared the stage with some great musicians including Muscle Shoals’ Travis Wammack. The cemetery is outside of Tuscumbia and about a four hour ride from Montgomery, so we went up the night before the […]
