Post No. 1

Greetings visitors and friends!  Chris here, welcome to Barkability.com, the new site that will hopefully earn a spot on your list of bookmarks and feeds.  The site was inspired by the first addition to the Ray family, Mackenzie.  That's her in the upper-right.  She joined Laurie (my wife) and I in April of last year and has quickly grown from a 10-pound puppy to the topic of seemingly every conversation (and I mean this in a good way).  She's my morning alarm clock and the last thing I see before my head hits the pillow.  In short, she's changed my life.

As I was writing down my goals for 2008, I decided that "start a blog" would top the list.  If I did nothing else, absolutely nothing else on the list, that would be fine with me.  Oddly enough, selecting the type wasn't a problem.  I've been eating, breathing, and sleeping "dog" for the past several months so I decided it must be dog-centric.  And, since I had spent more hours than I care to mention preparing for Mackenzie's first Christmas (reviewing toys and what not), creating a shopping blog for dogs just seemed to make sense.

As I write this post I can see Mackenzie sprawled out to the left of me between our sofa and ottoman.  She's turned upside down, four paws in the air, dreaming doggy dreams.  I can tell she's dreaming because her paws are moving as if she's running...maybe through the backyard...maybe running away from me with  one my socks in her mouth...I'll never know.  As I take a moment to watch her sleep I notice the time.  It's getting late and I still have a few things to do before I head to bed.

There it is, the first post.  I hope you join me for the journey ahead. 

Wags,

Chris
