Friday Quote – Mutt, or the All-American Breed
I think I stumbled upon a new designer dog breed! Quick! Everyone must get one . . . of course, you wouldn’t want to be seen roaming the streets with it.
Breed a Boxer with a German Shorthaired Pointer, you get a Boxershorts. A dog never seen in public.

Friday Quote – Maurice Maeterlinck, Our Friendship with Dogs
This week I was looking for a quote on loyalty, but found the one below instead . . .
We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us.
~Maurice Maeterlinck
I thought about this – it couldn’t [...]
Friday Quote – Napoleon Bonaparte
This week’s Friday Quote comes from an unlikely source. Napoleon Bonaparte, not a man usually associated with dogs, but his recounting of a post-battle field scene is touching.
This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, [...]
Friday Quote – Dog Haiku
I LOVE this . . .
I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You ever will be.
Today I sniffed
Many dog butts — I celebrate
By kissing your face.
I sound the alarm!
Paperboy — come to kill us all —
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
I sound the alarm!
Garbage man — come to kill us all —
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
I lift [...]
Friday Quote – Rescuer’s Creed
As many of you know Tigertail Foods is an active supporter of animal rescue – both financially and physically. Everyone in the company has either adopted or fostered a dog or cat that was given up by its owner. Right now several rescue groups are drowning under the volume of pets being turned in. Every [...]
Friday Quote – Food
Tigertail Foods is, after all, a food company so I thought it was odd that we hadn’t done a Friday Quote on the subject of food yet. To make up for this glaring oversight I’m serving up a couple of portions.
Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin [...]
Friday Quote – Summer Rain, Henry David Thoreau
The ongoing heatwave has spread over much of the country and I think we are all ready for something little less oppressive. To help lighten everything a bit this Friday’s quote is from Thoreau – like air conditioning for the mind.
“This bed of herd’s grass and wild oats was spread
Last year with nicer [...]
Friday Quote – Kids and Ponies
I was two years old the first time my mother put me on a horse’s back. By the time I was five I was taking riding lessons twice a week to help feed my insatiable hunger for being near horses. Growing up, I rode every chance I got. I was lucky enough to have parents [...]
Friday Quote – Independence (4th of July)
A great big Happy Fourth of July!!!
Our quote this week is from Thomas Jefferson, an obvious choice. And in keeping with obvious choices, the quote is the preamble to the Declaration of Independence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable [...]
