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.

Infinte Expectation of the Dawn

“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.”

Henry David Thoreau
