Retired Family Therapist living in on island by the Pacific. Blogging as Riley Dog since 1999.

Riley Dog is named after Riley (nickname: Roo - it was the sound of his howl), our chocolate lab, who died in late '99, hit by a train in the Rockies. He had never seen a train before.

He was my wife's work companion for nine years (she's a biologist), protecting her from bears and lions. Together, they were also a famous pet therapy team, working with autistic kids and at hospitals.

Original Riley Dog is a referenced url in Rebecca Blood's seminal Weblog Handbook. Get it.

In other days, I was either a Welder (building bridges, ships and tanker trucks) or a Carpenter (house framing and movie/television set construction).

I have 3 children, and a one grandchild.
