What better way to introduce the new “photo journalism” section on CG than through a tribute to my late dog Singher, otherwise known as the insane canine.

Singher came to me in September of 2001, the details of which you can read about below …

After thirteen years by my side, seeing me through two moves, job changes, the death of a partner and the death of my mother, in July, 2014 at fourteen years old she peacefully left the world …


Singher was many things to me, not the least of which, my trusted companion. A somewhat crazy canine, thus the nickname, she climbed trees (attempted to anyway), was scared of cats, loved Miso soup, and had a rather eccentric habit of hording cheezies under the couch.

A few images that describe her best.

She was the best friend and greatest dog I could ever ask for.

RIP sweet girl
