Jenny and I worked together at the Register ... eons ago. Like you, I was laid off a year ago. Been training dogs and contemplating the future, along with getting no response to job queries. Quite a changed industry we once inhabited. Tell Jenny hi from Maryanne and, if I'm wrong on who you are... sorry. But great story -- dog's noses are amazing -- and good luck.

I'm certain that I speak for many when I say that I deeply enjoy when you write from the heart and tell some of your own (and Ace's!) "tales," and when you make note that a particular blog is your own opinion. March on! This is what blogs are all about! (I think.) You never take a story and not re-tell it without your own unique flair. Pulitzer still sweats in your palms, no matter how much you may stray and sniff. Very sorry about the frustrating job search, but I know that you will find your niche somewhere, somehow, soon....and meanwhile, your dedicated readers never want to see you depart this simply inspiring and very educational blog.

In some areas of the country there is now more help for homeless pets (e.g., pets of the homeless and severely destitute on the verge of...). I will always donate if I see someone with a dog or other pet (around here in Oregon we see a lot of ferrets and cats in these situations). But in addition and I hope others will see this and think about it too - in a weather-challenged climate it helps to collect where possible,or buy where possible, dog coats in varying sizes and hand them out. Waterproof is good if a wet+cold climate! I have suggested to several rescues that a "dog coat drive" would be a good idea, as just one person I'm not making much of a difference as I too am somewhat financially challenged and just doing what I can in a limited way. I would also like to see some of the food banks that do human-coat-drives also collect dog coats and distribute. John I enjoy your blog tremendously and did not realize you were not still an employed columnist. Please consider teaching your blogging skills including how to make at least some money blogging via sponsors, ads, etc., at perhaps the local community colleges. This is a big mystery to some, and I think you would find you'd get a lot of students.

Good luck with the job hunting. I've been in that same boat for a couple of years now that photographers are (quite literally) a dime a dozen.
