What do Tom Otterness and Michael Vick have in common? A lot. They both killed dogs, then went on to even greater achievement, fame and fortunein their respective professions Vick as an NFL quarterback, Otterness as an artist. But bothare still dogged by their pasts, and both seem toimply thats wrong that those [...]Six degrees of separation? Try one

Everyone knows about the six degrees of separation, or at least knows somebody who knows somebody who does.
To put it in its simplest terms as opposed to the manner of the bubbly graphic above its the theory that you know somebody, who knows somebody, who knows somebody, who knows somebody, who knows somebody who is lucky enough to know me.
In this small and growing smaller world, only five people stand between us usually tall ones who block the view.

Aniston honors dead dog with a foot tattoo

Jennifer Aniston has had her deceased dogs name tattoed on the inside of her right foot.
I dont find that too bizarre, given some of the far more outlandish lengths bereaved pet owners go to all covered in my book, DOG, INC.: The Uncanny Inside Story of Cloning Mans Best Friend.
I dont find it particularly newsworthy, either.
But it is Jennifer Aniston, and it is her foot, and she did love her Norman, a Corgi-terrier mix.
As many a pundit has noted, including those at the Daily Mail, which...

You can repaint a house, remodel a house, update a house, but theres one thing that no amount of changes can erase the memories.
Some of them came back to me the minute I pulled into the driveway of my grandparents old house in Saugerties, N.Y., triggered by the crunch of gravel; more yet when I climbed the wooden stairs where the Kingston Dairy milkbox used to be; and even more when I rounded the corner on the vast front porch and was hit with the slight smell of mildew the same one that...
Michael Vick’s former house sits empty

Im not sure why I wanted to visit 1915 Moonlight Road maybe for the same reason people visit Nazi death camps, Ground Zero and other scenes of slaughter.
Maybe its in part to pay respects to those who died and suffered, in part to remind ourselves of how evil man can be that whole business about keeping history fresh enough in our minds that we dont allow the mistakes of the past to be repeated.
Maybe (last maybe, I promise) thats also why you still find Michael Vick stories on ohmidog! and...
Home is where the Hyatt is

Yesterday, I went searching for a piece of my past and found Hilton and Hyatt instead.
The house where I spent my seventeenth year not quite 40 years ago is gone, erased without a trace and replaced by a Hyatt Place hotel with, for your pleasure and convenience,Starbucks coffee and ample parking.
One purpose of my continuing journey across America, with my dog Ace, is to revisit some places of my past both those I have recollections of and those whose memories, like some dogs used-up bone,...
