Welcome to the 'Good Dog Blog'

My name is Louie.
I write a daily inspirational email entitled "The Daily Good Dog."
That's me, over there, on the right. Want to check out the web site - click on my face.


The 'Good Dog Blog' is a direct reflection of my life, which has always been an open book. I like it that way - feels refreshing in a 'no where to hide, no lies to conceal' kind of way. I mention this because writing 'The Dog' involves a great deal of soul searching.

In creating 'The Dog,' as many have come to call it, I have many inspirations. The purpose of this blog is to share these 'inspirations' with you. I write what I need to hear, so it's fairly easy to see where my heads at. It's my intention to offer a little more personal insight into the dog's daily rantings.

Often, after putting out a dog, I hear from folks asking "What were you thinking?" I choose to think they were curiously asking for an explanation as opposed to tossing their judgments at me. I'm not real kean on unsolicited suggestions or personal judgments. They make me kind of grouchy.

Please feel free to comment. Be nice. I'm overly sensitive.

May 'The Dog' be with.

Appreciate, while you still can!

"Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.”

Daily Nugget from The Dog

“It costs so much to be a full human being that there are very few who have the enlightenment or the courage to pay the price.
One has to abandon altogether the search for security and reach out to the risk of living with both arms open.
One has to embrace the world like a lover.
One has to accept pain as a condition of existence.
One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing.
One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying."
Morris West

Weekend GOOD DOG - Dalai Lama

“If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.” _ Tenzin Gyatso, aka Dalai Lama

OUCH! - Another 'Bad Dog' Quote

“Spirituality means waking up. Most people, even though they don't know it, are asleep. They're born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence.”
Anthony de Mello

Think . Feel . Manifest

"Watch you thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; the become habits.
Watch your habits; the become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

"Slow Down," 3 of 3

Daily Good Dog, "Slow Down" Series - 4.16.09
"'The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.'
Anne Frank"

"Slow Down," 2 of 3

Daily Good Dog, "Slow Down" Series - 4.15.09

“A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj"

The NEW Dog House is Open

On Saturday 4.04.09, after 6 months of work, I pressed the PUBLISH button on the new Daily Good Dog website, blasting it into hyperspace.

In just a few days, it has been swamped with new visitors.

Check out the site and if you like it, tell your friends on the 'Tell a Friend' section.

The new format for the Daily Dogs will go into effect on 4.20.09, at which time I'll start commenting (on this blog) as I write new Dogs.

There is a link to right for the website or http://www.dailygooddog.com/
