Hi, writers!

Sorry, I couldn't resist barking a little. Today is the day we're featuring dog stories in the Writing Essential, remember?

Post any piece you like about your canines, as well as the usual list of poetry, short stories, novel excerpts, or writing you'd like to share with us. All writing is welcome, independent of the day's theme.

I just wanted to let you know I've reviewed and moderated the stories in the queue this morning, but now I have to rush off to my book signing at Heron Hills Winery on Keuka Lake, in the beautiful Finger Lakes of Upstate New York. It'll be a long day, but I'll be back tonight to check out your dog stories!

Don't be worried if your articles don't show up immediately after you post them, they need to be "accepted" or "declined" by a moderator. That's me, today. ;o) 

Have a lovely Saturday, and remember to have a box of tissues ready. These stories are apt to be tear jerkers!

Fondly,

Aaron 

P.S. If you're reading this from another group, and would like to participate, consider this an invitation to hop over to www.writing.gather.com and join us! We'd love to have you. ;o)

have fun - should be a gorgeous day to be out and about!

Aaron, please introduce us to the precious pooch with the pink paws!

Aaron,

If your're in the Finger Lakes district stop by the Great Western winery and pick me up some Great Western Extra Dry champagne, okay? I can't get it out here in Las Vegas and it's my wife's favorite. Seriously, if you like champagne you should try it.

And your cute pooch looks like there's some aussie shepherd in him.

He is adorable.

Congradulations on your book, even though I know its not your first, still must feel good. Have a great time with your fans!
Debbie G. Jun 23, 2007, 1:41pm EDT
Aaron, just for you I might actually write something. :)
Deb J. Jun 23, 2007, 1:52pm EDT
I'll be watching for your return. Cute pup.

What an adorable dog. I'll bet he keeps you constantly busy.
Hi, folks! Thanks so much for your well wishes and comments about Max. I haven't been able to write about him yet - we just lost him in Feb. He was only nine, and healthy right up to the night he suddenly got sick with a clot in his heart that traveled to his brain. We've had some fine dogs in our day, but Max was by far the best. I still think I see him coming in the room, and still reach down to pat him on the bed. It's been tough. But we were blessed for those nine years that he "owned" us. Very blessed.

I'm back from the book signing - it was a great day! I've just reviewed and accepted almost all of the articles posted. Only a few that weren't "writing" samples had to be declined. The guidelines we received were to not accept newsy type posts or articles reprinted from other sources, etc. Hope there are no hard feelings - those pieces go well in many gather forums! If you have any questions, feel free to email me off line.

Now I'm going back to read these great articles at my leisure! Thanks everyone, for a great batch of articles!!

Guess I missed it but I love the puppy photo!
Thanks, Diana! Max was very photogenic!!! ;o)

I had unexpected company at the lake...just posting a short "dog" story today.

Max does look like an unforgetable puppy.
Sharon S. Jun 24, 2007, 10:28pm EDT
My sympathy to you and your family for Max's passing. They say the only flaw dogs have is that their lives are too short.
Hi, Ann. I'll go over and check it out!

Sharon, you are SO right. Max was truly perfect, and taught us alot about patience and love.
