For the past 2 days Purdy has been sitting at the back door howling the most sorrowful howls imaginable.

Howling at what?? There is nothing there.

I presume she is trying to alert some of the male dogs in the neighborhood that she is ready, willing, and able to go. It seems to be working too because there are strange new paw prints in the snow of my back yard.

Pretty sad when the dog is getting more action than her human.

Hmmm, I wonder if this could work for me. If I sit at my back door howling loudly enough and pitifully enough.....do you think some big strapping stud will magically appear?

Sometimes I do envy the life of a canine.

OW-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!
