Greetings… Denali is back to work after his little problem with eating coins. It really amazes me what dogs eat! He and I are working on three new styles. Please check back in a few weeks to see the new cards.

It’s been a rough week for Denali. Last weekend he went for a follow-up vet visit, and I was told he had something in his stomach that needed removed. That something turned into $1.80 in coins. Quarters and a nickel.

This is the second major surgery the poor guy has undergone. He’s fine, however.

His modeling duties are on hold while he is stitched up. Denali is moving slowly but still is happy, wagging his tail and requests his pets. No stick tossing this week.

Denali has this habit that is bred into a Golden Retriever. It’s called an addiction to swimming.Today, without my approval, he decided to go for a swim in Lake Erie.

A nice drive to Marblehead, O. with my brother turned into a wet, smelly mess in the Jeep, but how can you deny a dog the chance to do what he enjoys.Oh well, he’ll just stink for a few days. By now I’m used to it.

Denali, today, finally had the chance to show off his abilities to the local media.

Getting on the cedar chest was no problem. Posing for pictures failed to scare him. Denali didn’t seem to mind strangers from the Bowling Green (O.) Sentinel-Tribune stopping by for a feature story on the card business and a dog’s willingness to be photographed in various outfits.

Reporter Deb Rogers and photographer Aaron Carpenter are the first members of the mass media to visit the location where it all happens. A story set to be published May 3 will focus on Denali’s cards being available at the Bowling Green State University bookstore.

Upon departure of the media hounds, Denali promptly found his favorite spot against the couch and took a nap. It was just another day in the life of a supermodel dog.

Spring time in Ohio makes Denali happy

Ummm…. I must be running low on dog treats..

Denali and I have been busy lately working on three new cards for the collection. We decided to take the afternoon off to visit Mary Jane Thurston State Park in Grand Rapids, O.

On the way to the park we stopped at Olde Gilead’s Country Store.  The stop was successful. Starting in late June Denali’s cards will be featured in the shop. He enjoyed himself at the park, paid no attention to the falling rain and had a great time getting wet while chasing the ball.

BREAKING BUSINESS NEWS ….

The Vision continues to spread. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and the Toledo area have joined the growing list of cities selling Denali’s wisdom.

But this is a first for us.

Bowling Green State University, famous for its Freddie the Falcon mascot, has confirmed its on-campus bookstore has welcomed a golden retriever’s vision to be sold alongside Freddie gear. A full selection of the cards will be sold.

Denali celebrated the big news by showing off his new school hoodie, and promptly taking a nap after his shoot.

GO FALCONS!

John and Susan owners of Our Town’s Brewin‘ in Clyde, Ohio got a visit from Denali this afternoon.

On your next journey when traveling through Clyde, make sure you stop in to get one of 30 fresh pies made by this cozy all-American store. The best part of a visit to Our Town Brewin’ is the casual atmosphere and the ability to purchase one of Denali’s latest cards.

Welcome, John and Susan!

Denali and I took a day trip to Chicago this past week. Along with playing in the sand on Lake Shore Drive, we had a great time and Denali’s cards were welcomed by four more outlets.The stores are: Tails In The City, Heartland Cafe, Dog-A-Holics and Barnard Ltd.

Thank You.. Chicago
