Last week I went to a screening of the film Griefwalker, a National Film Board documentary featuring the work and words of Stephen Jenkinson. I’ve heard him speak to crowds of grief hungry people on living well and dying well. The other night he offered us a riddle posed to him by a medicine man … Who dies?

Doggone it! When Is Your Dog Wrong?
How do we know when our dog is “doing it wrong”? The immediate answer would seem to be that the dog is not doing the behaviour as requested (cued, commanded, choose your word). On the face of it, it seems a pretty easy thing to determine. But if we dig a little deeper, we could ask why our dog isn’t performing as we expected. And this is where it gets interesting.
Japan — Remarkable History, Culture and Resiliency
Japanese seem to love high-end Western style stores. There are plenty of them throughout the city but we loved the small shops and bustling local malls, many of them pedestrian-only and running for blocks.

Tarmac Meditations #80: Roll On – Part Two
I had lunch with an old friend yesterday. We talked how we do about this and that, people and miles, races and writing, images and books to come, you know the stuff we do.
A Broken Dog – Part 3 (Pavlov, The Pharmacy, and The Phoenix)
Part 3 of a series on rehabilitating a dog after a serious health issue. Trainer and behaviourist Eric Brad could have looked for a training solution to the changes in his dog Tiramisu’s behaviour. Instead, he sought out the help of veterinary health care professionals to help solve the mystery of why a once vibrant and active dog was suddenly shutting down. Encouragement, support, and advice from both friends and professionals ultimately came together to find a solution. And what a relief it was for both Eric and his dog!
