Thursday bloghop #15
1. As promised last week, first: Nanook. It's "written" by a huge, gorgeous Newfoundland whose picture adorns May 30th's post as well as the right sidebar. I'm not sure what's more charming about Nanook - the simple fact of his existence and his, um, verbal skills (those paws must be something else considering how much and how well he types) or his adorable face or his interesting observations. It's not often we get to hear from a great big black dog, after all. Incidentally, he was recently tagged and asked why he blogs. His answer? "The short answer is "because I am here, and so is the internet." (See how deep I am?)" And just wait til you see how many other dog blogs there are. Holy mackerel!! And in case you want to put a human face on Nanook, he says Dennis Haysbert is pretty close, and since he includes a photo of DH, I'm going to be happy all week. Nanook is a must-read delight.
2. There don't seem to be any non-dog blogs linked on Nanook so the next stop is also dog-written. Blogs from the Dogs' proprietors are Tealeaf, Boots, Meg, Cleo and QB, all of whom are hounds from rescues which is very cool. Their pictures are something to behold. I love the artwork that accompanies the latest story. I enjoyed this visit very much . . . and I'm more of a cat person which goes to show you.
3. All four paws is sort of a dog blog but it's (gasp) written by a human being about a Basset Hound named Ernest and his human mate in Seattle. There's no point in reinventing wheels so I'm lifting some of NM's description of himself and his blog: "I'm a research scientist with a love of a basset hound. . . . I spend too much time worrying about things out of my control, data integration, where the next snails may be found in the garden and the state of my fair city. Ernest spends his time wondering about sheep, where his next bisquit [sic] is coming from and if he'll ever get to run for president. We're both a lot of fun." As is his blog!
4. One more. According to Kyre, its California-based writer, The Dog Couch is the recounting of "the love affair between my 5-year old German Shepherd, Ko, and our living room furniture." She puts up one new photograph each day of Ko draped on the two couches in her "sunny California home." (Sure, rub it in about where she lives.) Another good place to visit!

Very kind of you to stop by! My people were originally cat people too, I have three cat siblings. Two of them even like me. I'm pretty sure the third one is plotting my demise.
Licks,
Nanook.
