A True Tail

I am writing and editing stories with some other volunteers at the Labrador Retriever Rescue of Cincinnati this summer. These stories will be published in a book coming out this Christmas. As it is an honor to have been invited to be a part of this book, I am still moved by these stories. And reminded every day that these animals no matter how badly they have been treated by the humans they have known in their pasts they are willing to look ahead and give us each a new chance to prove ourselves to be the best we can be, no previous judgement in their hearts. Each story is a tribute to these wondeful animals, the hard road they have taken and the people who helped them along the way.

Politics and Fido

...a Latin name meaning "I am faithful." As such it is a terrific name for the average protective and loyal family dog. However, it gets its popularity from a celebrity tie-in. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln, a largely self-educated but very erudite man, named his dog Fido. Americans followed suit in droves, putting the dog name Fido firmly in the top 20 names. Lincoln’s choice of Fido for his dog’s name was perfectly logical. Fido is the Latin for faithful, which when dealing with any pet dog is entirely appropriate
