Even though I’m far from The Compound and my dogs, I’m still getting plenty of dog love from:
Sequoia and Sherman
Cocoa and Mystery
and Biscuit.
Completely unrelated, I saw that former senator Claiborne Pell died. RIP to the man who helped many people fulfill their dreams of going to college. From the AP report:
When asked his greatest achievement, Pell always was quick to answer, “Pell Grants.”
Legislation creating the Basic Educational Opportunity Grants passed in 1972, providing direct aid to college students. The awards were renamed “Pell Grants” in 1980. By the time Pell retired, they had aided more than 54 million low- and middle-income Americans.
Pell also shared a strong interest in the arts, and was chief Senate sponsor of a 1965 law establishing the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Pell was well-liked among peers from both political parties, who respected his non-confrontational style. “I believe in letting the other fellow have my way” was a favorite refrain Pell used to refer to his negotiating skills.
For that last quote alone, he’s worthy of the Aries Hall of Fame (though he was born under the sign of Cancer). Supporting the arts was just the icing on the cake.
Sherman looks like a stately gentlman…
A little Dash I was torn between the names Marc Anthony and Biscuit. Then I took a good look Dash it was … mainly because I saw Dash and Lilly on HBO and it was funny how Lilly used to scream DASH!!! So Dash it was.

You read me with total comprehension. =)
I love that picture of all the dogs waiting at the door.
RIP to Mr. Pell from me, as well. I benefited from the Pell Grant when I went to college.
I believe I did, as well.
The dogs were so cute at the door. =)
It’s always sad when a humanitarian passes. RIP Mr Pell.
As usual the dogs have almost human expressions – and I love the way they’re all poised outside the door, ready to rush inside!!
Happy New Year!
He made his life and his money count, that’s for sure.
That dog door shot did crack me up.
Thank you, and happy new year to you, too!
