A Day in the Life
At this point in the dotage of Pappy's blog, I'm a little embarrassed to mention how often I think of blogging (never) and expound on all my great ideas for posts (none). But one thing I've always wanted to know is what Pappy does while we are at work. Of course our bedroom, where Pappy hangs out, is way too puny for such extravagances as a webcam on an ongoing basis-- a Pappycam if you will. But for a couple of days...
So, as a coup de grace for the blog, last week I set up the webcam to do time lapse photography of Pappy while we were out at the office. I made some fascinating discoveries, like that Pappy routinely spends part of the morning flopped down on the floor by my side of the bed before moving onto his dog bed. Faithful ol' terrier. Here is a movie of his exciting exploits-- the secret life of dogs.
To all our readers, I leave you with this window on Pappy as a memento. Party on.

As (mostly) faithful readers, we are much like Pappy on the camera.
So: While we do not consciously MISS Pappy and the blog,all day, every day when the opportunity comes, we are really glad to see you.

Thanks for one of the best dog blogs--caring, insightful, intelligent.
It's a hard life!
I know that if J1 had a webcam trained on me all day she'd never get any work done! J x
Farwell, ol' fella. It's been great following you these years. If yall ever do make the move down to Austin, look up me and the Mag-wag, and we can introduce the twins-separated-at-birth.
Pappy spends his days exactly as I do.. a nap here, a nap there.. oh okay.. napping all day!
Ive been mostly a silent reader and rare commentator, right back from the days when I was plucking up the courage to have my own blog and just snooped on others.. then whilst taking my blogging baby steps when i was just too in awe of the blogging greats to dare comment, to finally plucking up the courage to jump in and comment.
No matter which stage I have been at when reading your blog I have always enjoyed it, and randomly finding your DWB Christmas video was a little while ago had the whole household enthralled!
Its great to see you, if only momentarily and once in a while.. so for today I won't gaze in awe, i'll just jump right in and comment...
oh.. I already did!

Pappy is just recharging his batteries for that game of fetch he knows is coming up. :)
Happy Tails,

Does this mean goodbye, Pappy???? We will miss you and hope perhaps to see you every once and awhile-oh wait-that's what we have been doing ;)
Seriously, please check in now and then, won't you?

Congratulations on the Webmaster's Awesome Video Award, Pappy! What an honor! That is one cool video!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
I think my dog should take some tips on while-the-owners-are-away behavior from Pappy. ;)
Do you have several webcams set up throughout the house?
Pappy seems bored when no one is home :-)
The Pappy cam was a great idea. He really likes to sleep. What a hard life.
hey.... pappy is cool; nice dog!
I am a dog lover and just chanced to drop by your blog while surfing net.
Check out my blogs too... I might find them interesting!
Hello,
I love your blog! Thank you for standing up for dogs.
I just wanted to write to tell you about the Morris Animal Foundation's Cure Canine Cancer Campaign. Canine Cancer kills 1 in 4 dogs. The Morris Animal Foundation has a large research project that is ongoing to cure the disease.
We would appreciate any coverage you might give to us - www.curecaninecancer.org
Pappy!!! I've missed you SO much! I too haven't been keeping up with my blog as much as I should, but you can blame Mom for that.
We love this video of you!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful X-mas!
Luv,
Tobes
We wish you a Merry Christmas ,

It's snowing, and dark and miserable weather here, but your videos bring laughs for me and my human. Great job! Thanks
The webcam ideas is excellent. I think I might try that with my dogs sometime. It would be nice to watch them while I'm away! :-)
Happy gotcha day, Pappy! We hope you have the most special day ever with treats and ice cream!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Lol! Brilliant idea! Love the blog a lot. Web cam = ingenious.
Hey, Pappy! Its my first visit to your block but I was fairly shocked to see you being on camera all day, was this with your permission? If not, let me recommend my law firm, Cheatem,Cheatem and Howe and perhaps get a bit of a suit going re privacy. Just saying' . .
Kisses,
Stella
I love and enjoyed all your videos. you are talented.
