It doesn't take much to make me happy.
On a whim, I hopped into a chat on Retrieverman's weblog last night with himself and Christopher of Border (Collie) Wars. I learned about dog and human genetics that I didn't know and went to bed happy with my new found knowledge and a list of things to look up & research in the notepad that I keep next to my laptop. Nothing makes me happier than learning something new about a subject that I love.
I came to the realization that I need blog about the thing I am most passionate about, the history of dogs. Nothing fascinates me more. I spend hours climbing through book stacks, combing through book barns, searching the internet, pouring through documents, tax records, accounting, wills, estate reports and other records that are hundreds of years old, cataloging information & documenting images.
Historical Hound will soon become all about dogs. Other posts about my crafting, war paint (mineral make-up), product reviews, disability and subject matter not directly related to Canine history will be moved into another blog with a forwarding link left in the original post. Posts about the attacks by the "ladies" on the Ugly site against Kristen & Aromaleigh will remain here as well as be moved to the new blog.
Once the other blog is ready to go with all the posts moved, I will post a link.

I'd love to read your blog, since I also really enjoy reading about the history of dogs and dog breeds. :)
Have you looked through the Internet Archive website? They have quite a few old digitized books on dogs, mostly from the UK. I have an account there and have bookmarked my favorites: http://www.archive.org/bookmarks/Rietto
