Playing with Willow, Juno and Gandhi (they The pug just picked up a fight with a chihuahua .. bad Gandhi) >:/

When you go to the park (or race track) to exercise/walk your dog and “feel” that every time you go you encounter every unfriendly dog that is walking in the same park is PROBABLY because you are walking in the WRONG DIRECTION. TIP: If you go the same direction as everybody is going you won’t see yourself fighting with other dogs, cyclists, rollerbladers and other distractions with your dog(s).
Have a good walk..

Hi Camille, I just wanted to share some moments we had today and yesterday when we all went out for some fun.

The first day we all went to the dog park!!!! and they all loved it. Willow was a little skittish about the whole situation because there were more dogs in there. It is always a little stressful when entering to the dog park with 4 dogs that I don’t know very well but every thing went just right.
The dog park was a good thing since they always kept moving and distracted, sniffing as chasing each other.
I totally forgot to take pictures but I managed to shot this one.

Today, after walking the four of us I dropped the other two and went for rollerblading and they did very good.
I shot a little vid with my phone and I hope you get to see “how I roll” :D

I think you will see things changing around the house. The exercise will help.
Enjoy it!

On this day in 1851, Moby-Dick, a novel by Herman Melville about the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod, is published by Harper & Brothers in New York. Moby-Dick is now considered a great classic of American literature and contains one of the most famous opening lines in fiction: “Call me Ishmael.” Initially, though, the book about Captain Ahab and his quest for a giant white whale was a flop.

Herman Melville was born in New York City in 1819 and as a young man spent time in the merchant marines, the U.S. Navy and on a whaling ship in the South Seas. In 1846, he published his first novel, Typee, a romantic adventure based on his experiences in Polynesia. The book was a success and a sequel, Omoo, was published in 1847. Three more novels followed, with mixed critical and commercial results. Melville’s sixth book, Moby-Dick, was first published in October 1851 in London, in three volumes titled The Whale, and then in the U.S. a month later. Melville had promised his publisher an adventure story similar to his popular earlier works, but instead, Moby-Dick was a tragic epic, influenced in part by Melville’s friend and Pittsfield, Massachusetts, neighbor, Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose novels include The Scarlet Letter.

After Moby-Dick‘s disappointing reception, Melville continued to produce novels, short stories (Bartleby) and poetry, but writing wasn’t paying the bills so in 1865 he returned to New York to work as a customs inspector, a job he held for 20 years.

Melville died in 1891, largely forgotten by the literary world. By the 1920s, scholars had rediscovered his work, particularly Moby-Dick, which would eventually become a staple of high school reading lists across the United States. Billy Budd, Melville’s final novel, was published in 1924, 33 years after his death.
