All the Dog Things
Dearest Blog Readers:
A lot has happened in the past two or three years. Some wonderful, some a little sad, and some a combination of all that. But I’m going to concentrate on two wonderful things in the order that they occur to me.
First, Rev. We have a new German shepherd pup in the house. He’s nine months old now, and a lot of work. And a lot of pleasure. Here are some pictures of him from young to a little less young!
Rev settled into our house almost immediately.
Rev was already playing with a flirt pole at an early age! He’s seven weeks old here.

I’ve (almost) completed a Young Readers Edition of What the Dog Knows. It took a year and a half and it was a lot of work. And a lot of pleasure. Here are some pictures of it, and in it!
The Young Readers Edition comes out October 2019

The marvelous illustrator and artist Patricia J. Wynne has provided 21 illustrations for the young readers edition. This is a sketch she did of a nearly 32,000-year-old dog skull, found in the Czech Republic. A mammoth bone was placed between its jaws.
