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.

"Un-Stuck"




The holidays, for most people, are stressful.  For me, these times trigger manic-depressive episodes, often bouncing from one extreme to another (cycling) within the same day.  Naturally, whenever any of us are dealing with a threatening situation (real or imagined) - we protect ourselves the best we know how.  For me, that is isolating to my man-cave or with my undestanding girlfriend, where I feel safe.

There is a fine line between solitude and isolation with accompanying emotions of serenity to desperation.  This is where I have been for a couple weeks - hanging on. 

This week, I've started writing Good Dogs again, after a 2 week break.  For some reason it has been incredibly difficult getting started - probably the depression.  I needed to remind myself that 'Good Dog' was born in depression and literally helped saved my life - so similar to the first Dogs written 3 years ago, I offer to you fresh new Dogs for a new year with hope that it will help bring a little inspiration to the lives of many.

Happy New Year

Louie
