Today I’m writing to my fellow dogs. I want to tell of how I trained my human, his name is Andrew. I started the training right away, right after I adopted him. We were in the back yard and I was running around sniffing all the wonderful scents and enjoying being a dog when Andrew called me over. He […]
Morning folks, it me Danny the Dog. I’m here today to tell ya’all of my two days of misery. Perhaps I should start at the beginning., I mean the very beginning. Ever since I was a little shaver, my human has alawys kept me near. He worked for himself, so I could always go with […]
I heard his footfalls, as I do everyday. He stopped in front of my cell as he does everyday. He smiled his evil smile and said, “Are you ready boy?” Everyday I am given a task to complete. And if accomplished, I will be set free. However, the tasks are always inexecutable. “Today,” said he, […]

Michael was my friend. Michael died saving my life. Michael row the boat ashore … sister help to trim the sails … the River Jordon is chilly and cold … chills the body but not the soul … the river is deep and the river is wide … milk and honey on the other side […]
I know it won’t be long, she’ll be here soon. Sitting here waiting for her gives me time to reflect on my morning. It has been a most interesting morning to say the least, I had never killed a man before. The man I killed woke up this morning as I did. He thought, as […]
Today I want to tell you about my friend Sam. He spent the night out on the town. He was running with some of his own kind and they made a night of it. But it wasn’t what he wanted. He wanted a home and a friend. He had been taken from his mother when […]
Hey guys, it’s me again, Danny the dog. I’ve just been reading a little Billy Shakespeare and listening to Kris Kristofferson. Genius will tell out. What got to me this day was how they both spoke to having nothing. Billy said, “Having nothing, nothing can he lose.” and Kris wrote, “Freedom’s just another word for […]
