Am I a scary dog or a lucky dog? Big dogs, and often even their shadows, can seem scary to people, but as a large adopted as an adult dog, I'm more lucky than scary. I can cast a mean looking shadow on my afternoon walk, but this senior dog couldn't be more lamb than wolf.

Curiosity or just a competitive dog? It doesn't matter if it means I'm getting exercise. Older dogs need to keep moving so we don't lose muscle mass. 

I thought it would nice to share 11 of my dog friends from the 'hood. They all have good qualities. Even when we might not start off as the best of buddies, we're neighborly now.

This wee guy ignored me because his lady was inside the bakery. I cried a little but soon got distracted by a nice shopkeeper down the block. His red collar and leash are super cute, don't you think? Sigh.

My little buddy Tennessee here is a nice guy. He was a little ruff around the edges at first, but we're now used to seeing each other around. He knows I really do like wee men...

My daily walk is the best. I love to pick up the news and say hello to local peeps. Sometimes I meet strangers who say how I much remind them of a former beloved, or a wolf. Either way, both comments produce some sweet loving for me.

Sometimes I encounter a fellow neighborhood canine. This could become a lovefest or a great way to break up a crowded sidewalk.
