Best Friends
by Malcolm Riordan, DVM
"If you can look at a dog and not
feel
vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." The above quote
by an unknown author. Those collected below look at the ocean of
feelings between humans and dogs. I have never grown weary of seeing
it, being around it, or of being a participant.
"The
great pleasure of a dog is that you
may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold
you, but he will make a fool of himself too."

Beyond the
Badge by Richard Hannibal
A
breeze drifts through the tall trees,
and the morning sun sends shafts of light to a forest path. A nearby
stream moves over smooth stones with increasing eagerness to reach the
sea. Small animals scurry in the shadows, preparing for the coming day.
A constant chatter in the treetops joins the morning concert, while
butterflies dance in the advancing light. Read

Coastland
Contemplations by Michele Oksen
It's that
time of year again. All stocked up,
prepared, and hopeful for a long wet winter. There's plenty
of
people and pet food, flashlights, batteries, candles, matches, and a
woodshed overflowing with firewood. Read More
Double
Vision by Shana Ogren
Listening
to a program on the radio about
heroin use, I had the urge to call in and contribute my thoughts and
probes. I decided to instead ask the questions to my personal resource
– Mom. Read More
Feel
Better Forever by Brian Dorfman
I've worked with many student
athletes
in the past few years and it's obvious to me that these young men and
women are in a very different situation then we were 10 or 20 years
ago. The student athlete of 2014 is up against hurdles I
myself
never saw as a young athlete. Now, the training for many high
school athletes is comparable to those doing college level
sports. Read More

A Roe
Adventure by Yeager
A new year
can mean a lot of things. To some it
is the beginning of what they hope is a better time for them.
For
others it is a respite from the previous year. For me, it is
a
time of reflection on what, if anything, I would like to change about
my life. Read

Surfing
Through Life by Charlie Loe
Happy
New Year Everyone, near and far!
We made it through another one and I am
probably not alone when I say this . . . it was a doozy! Some of the
events of the last year still boggle my mind. But to be fair, I seem to
be much more easily boggled these days. I am really not sure why that
is, though it is possibly due to the alarmingly fast onset of advanced
age ( I'm 51 years old, criminy!) and deteriorating mental acuity. Or
maybe it was just trying to make some sense of all that has happened.
(Big mistake!) Read
