All creatures great and small

Someone recently commented to me that it was ridiculous that we have a blog for our dog. I don't think so... Gigi and her brother from a different mother, Gibson, are a huge part of our lives and we are just sharing what occurs from day to day... and hoping others enjoy it or share their stories and pics with us.

While we don't have human children at this time, I hope that when we do our dogs are still important to us. I just hate seeing families that abandon their dogs when they have a baby. Why should you get rid of your dog? Because children are more important because they're human? Well, my response is that all creatures (all God's creatures - if you need that justification) are important and we all know that dogs experience pain, both physical and emotional. However, let's just hope that all those unwanted pets find a home as great as our Gigi did with us!

It's actually pretty ridiculous to have a Walker Coonhound in the city as a pet at all...but after 6 1/2 years I don't regret even a moment. I'd choose a difficult, intelligent dog over a docile dumb one at every opportunity. I guess this is all beside the point...it's much more ridiculous to care whether or not someone has a blog about a dog than to have one (just my opinion of course).

Thanks for this wonderful Walker coonhound blog. I totally understand a blog for your coonhound. Here's the ode to my Mortimer, a gentle giant.
