Blog for Dog Lovers
Urban Dog Shares Life and Spills Owner’s Secrets
by Cathy Goodwin, Ph.D.

April 2008 – Seattle, WA – Dog lovers everywhere are enjoying a new addition to the blogosphere: www.MidlifeDog.com/blog.

The blog shares adventures of Gracie, a medium-sized mutt adopted by her owner, Cathy, and transplanted to downtown Seattle. Gracie gives the (pardon the expression) scoop on her fashion-challenged owner, an aging nerdy writer type who spends a lot of time hanging out in the local dog park.

“It’s a good thing you’re a good copywriter,” Gracie warns her owner, “because you couldn’t make a living with your domestic skills.”

Gracie gets treats, grooming and daycare, but she doesn’t wear a coat. “I’m the only naked dog you’ll see on a cold winter day,” she says, but adds, “Cathy is not exactly into fashion herself. Her idea of dressing up is wearing her best pair of shorts in summer. And on really special occasions, she’ll break out a new pair of running shoes.”

Gracie’s job is to keep Cathy’s life interesting and get her through a rare bad mood. And she knows when to stay out of the way: “Uh-oh. Mom’s got her copywriting music on. But she’ll feel so guilty I’ll get an extra trip with the dog walker.”

Cathy recently started adding photos to the blog, so readers meet the two resident cats Gracie dismisses as “useless parasites” and the park regulars. Dog and owner welcome comments at

As Gracie concluded a recent post, “My mom needs to get a life. But at least she makes sure I have a good one.”
