Hi Craig!
i thought that this was GREAT!!!!
I have a Golden retriever and the things that you wrote made me realise that i should make more time to play again with my dog, to make time to hug her more and treat her to the beach more! ha ha.
When im around my dog i feel happy, and she’s just happy all the time anyway ….
i always walk my dog, but i always go on the phone aswell..oh my god… reading your text really made me laugh..
well great stuff! really impressive!!!!

Get back on that wagon LISA JANE.
The only person you need to get YOU in shape, is YOU.

A trainer is a resource but YOU are the solution.
It will always comes back to you personally... the decisions you make and the things you do.

Coming to Kalgoorlie sounded attractive until you got to the 'disgustingly hot' part...

Enjoy your day... and do that workout.

Ahhh Craig!

I love when the writer in you meets up with the motivator...
it's like fireworks and rainbows,
true beauty to behold.

Love the doggie...
Ever seen Homeward Bound,
your retriever sounded just like the one in the movie...
wise and comforting (with a little accent too)
do all Golden Retrievers sound like that?
Or is it just in my head? (strictly rhetorical)

Thanks for the wisdom,
wrapped in pure adorability!
A great lesson from a great writer!

I’m just a fan…
wagging my tail!

PS- In the game of life- it's better to be wagging your tail than chasing it! (sorry, I couldn't resist the metaphor... no self-control, I know!)

Hi Craig,
This is my favorite of all your blogs. So many truths in this. I have been both the dog and the owner. Haven’t we all? Loved this!
Thank you
Faith

Hmmm, you must be doing that peeking around the corner thing again. That was a pretty damn spot on post for the way I feel today.

My trainer decided to quit and just left us all behind and I had a eat bad and feel sorry for myself weekend.

After reading THIS I've decided to get back on the wagon and back out into the disgustingly hot Kalgoorlie sunshine and find another trainer and continue working my ass off. I figure just cos his commitment waned, doesn't mean my has too.

Thankyou again, for the kick in the bum and for making me feel so welcome that I'm continuing to delurk.

Can you come to Kalgoorlie?

Unfortunately there are far too many children who could tell the same story if only they could write as well as your dog.

Hello Anon.

Had a Golden Retriever called Zac... who's now in the big kennel in the sky.

Peace.
