Year of the Dog

In honour of the Chinese New Year – it’s Year of the Dog –

I’m featuring some of my favourite furry friends.

Those of you who have followed me for a while will recognize my very best fuzzy friend, Oscar.

My dear departed Oscar

When he died,

Two more furry friends, Ruby and Simmie, came into my life.

(It’s not often I get them both in the same picture.)

I love the way dogs embrace life –

And make the most of what they have:

Ruby in the snow

Whether it’s a snowstorm

Or a large stick.

We can learn a lot from dogs.
