Harlequin Great Dane in alligator pose

Sometimes our Harlequin Great Dane mix got into a position that we call “alligator pose.” He's flattened out like a gator.

I uploaded lots of Winston videos today. If you’d like to see them, click here to visit my YouTube video page.

Remembering the good times

Life since Winston died is sad and lonely beyond words. Dillon and I keep watching this old video of him over and over. It shows Winston running and playing in his prime back in 2006.

Dog Passages

A must-see video for dog-lovers!

A friend urged me to check out this song, which is called “Dog Passages” by a singing group called “4 Friends: Who Are Vocal About It.” It talks about marking time by the dogs who have been in your life.

I deeply appreciate this beautiful, moving tribute to the dogs who bring such love and meaning to our lives. My Great Dane mix Winston is getting "long in the tooth," as the song says, and this video is helping me face my next “dog passage.”

That's my Winston!

Here’s Winston, my Harlequin Great Dane mix, smiling on a carefree sunny September day in 2008.

What a good kitty!

My cat Sapphire has been a very good kitty. She helps me keep smiling no matter what happens.

In this video she yawns, stretches, struts and watches my dog Winston take a nap.
