Welcome to Howling Times. Originally this started as a web page as informal information about our pups and what they discovered in Houston that was fun for them. As time has passed a few things have happened. Our interests have broadened, we've met new friends including some very wonderful people who are dedicating their lives to making it a better place for our canine pals, and we're even doing some fun entertainment for special events.
So you will see us growing and getting out more to Houston dog events. We will try to cover them as much as possible and provide you up to date information on what is happening that might be of interest to you and your dogs. There are a lot of great resources for information on this sort of thing, so what you will find here will have the focus of what 'we' like and find of interest. That is part of the fun for us but keep in mind, anything with dogs is interesting to us so if you know of an event, or function you'd like to see here let us know (howls@howligntimes.com). We are also looking to expand the ability to bring some fun entertainment to events so keep that in mind too.
Life is always a blessing when you have canine companions. We do have cats also and so you will see some cat notes here too. But since the dogs get out and about, we felt that a newsletter about those goings on would be a good thing.
You will also find mystery short stories here, photographs and much more. This web page and doggie newsletter is dedicated to all our pets, and to the working dogs who have made our lives safer, often by giving their own. And remember, your dog loves you unconditionally, that cell phone call or that time away from them is time you've lost with one of the most loving creatures on earth. They have only you and depend on you for everything. Cherish that gift.
Howlingly yours, Iona and Monty McAvoy along with the GSD's Cheyenne (aka the DivaDevilDog) and Phantom
