Dog Bless America

About Me

I am living a dog's life in New York's Lower Hudson Valley and in the very heart of the Catskill Mountains, which makes sense because I am, well, a dog! With all the woods and trails to explore, there aren't too many better places to be a Canine-American.
Actually, I am the alter-ego of my hetero-sapien food and love dispenser, Mom.
You can even meet some of my friends on Dogster .
It's all good.
PS: Do I look fat?

Food: my own and others. Balls: tennis and soccer. Running. Sniffing. Playing. Playing with my friends. Playing by myself. Playing in the stream near the river. Sleeping. Chasing deer and cottontails. Watching the world go by from my window seat. Playing the flashlight game.
