I never have enough words or the right words to describe what it means to me to have a dog like Red in my life, I will forever be grateful to the wonderful Dr. Karen Thompson for sending him to me.

I took this photo of Red today in the studio at WBTN, (notice Thomas Toscano in the window reflection.) Red has been on scores of radio  interviews with me, he has a genius for understanding where he is and what he needs to do.

The broadcast was two hours, and twice, did Red move. Once, to put his head on my knee during a commercial, when I leaned back to relax a bit, and the other time to go and put his head on Thomas Toscano’s knee to greet him during another break.

Otherwise, he never moved, made a sound, distracted me, or got restless in any way. For those of you who may listen to the broadcast in the future, please be mindful of Red, he is always with me, wherever I go, whatever I do.

I trust Red completely, he always understands where he is, and never interferes or disrupts. He is the most remarkable dog I have ever know, he is a spirit dog.

His spirit informs me, comforts me and inspires me. I thought I ought to post this photo to let people see where  Red is when I am on the radio.

He is a spirit dog for sure, there are very few boundaries in my life between him and me.
