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.

'Any Idiot Can Feel Pain"

“The trick is not how much pain you feel but how much joy you feel. Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses. “
Erica Jong"

Oh, man, I live with such physical pain in my life, and how easy it is to say, "I can't." Any too many times I truly can't do anything but feel pain. Yet I don't want to spend my life not feeling joy because I feel pain. I want to spend my life feeling joy despite feeling pain. I can't make the pain go away, I can try to lessen it, I can try to avoid it, but it's a fact of life. But should I avoid sunlight because the sun must set every night? NOW is all we have. Physical and emotional pain will come to us often enough without being called. Joy we must seek out and embrace wholeheartedly.
