Je m ' appelle Brady et je vis au Canada .
My name is Brady and I live in Canada .
Je suis Brady .
J ' ai pris un rhume . Quelqu ' un a mis une couverture sur mon dos pour me tenir au chaud . Je ne pense pas que cela ait été fait au crochet ou tricoté mais cela est confortable . J ' avais un compagnon Max , un golden retriever comme moi .mais il est mort il y a plus d ' un an le 8 février 2002 . Il me manque beaucoup . Mes maîtres m ' entourent de leur affection et prennent bien soin de moi . Ils m ' appellent leur " garçon " . Ils sont donc comme mon " papa " et ma " maman " . Cette dernière est une experte en tricot et crochet . C ' est pour cela que je me demandais si ma couverture avait été tricotée .
Je suis heureux
Sur la photo je parais à moitié endormi . Ne croyez pas cela . Je médite . Je médite sur le sens de la vie , sur l ' amitié , la confiance . C ' est important pour moi . Je médite aussi sur le comportement étrange de l ' humanité . Vous voyez je suis un chien philosophe . Et je vois tout . Par exemple derrière l ' écran de votre moniteur je vous regarde …
et vous dit Salut !

I am Brady
I caught a cold . Someone put a blanket on my back to keep me warm . I don' t think this has been crocheted or knitted but this is comfortable . I had a companion Max , a Golden retriever like me but he passed away more a year ago on the 28th of February 2002 . I miss him very much . My masters give my all of their affection and take care of me very well . They called me " the boy " . So they are like my " Dad "and my "Mom " . This last one is an expert in knitting and crocheting . It is why I wondered if the blanket had been knitted .
I am happy .
On the picture I look half asleep . Don' t believe that . I ponder . I ponder on the meaning of the life , the fiendship , the trust . It ' s important for me . I ponder also over the weird mankind behaviour . You see , I am a philosopher dog . And I see all of things . For example behind the screen of your monitor I look at you ….
and tell you Hi !

poor pholispher dog, he looks fairly weighed down by the wondrous weirdness of the world...
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww what a sweetie!! I had a Golden Retriever called Samarinda ~ she was the best dog ever made
Brady looks adorable! I hope he's feeling better soon 
Hi brady, get better soon. Do you know Simon? he is philosopher too.A spider philosopher.He got eight shoes with all different colours, like the rainbow.
How come you living in Canada?
SImon says Hi to Brady.
Do you look at soccer? tonight will be playing Milan against Juve for the Champions league.Big game.
Night Brady.
I think Brady will get well very quickly with all the love and care from his owners. Philosopher dog-What a great blog to go with this photo. Have a great week, Michel. Hope all is well with you.
Love,
Edie Rose
so cute!
My cocker spaniel, Pal, says hello. I do not believe he does much thinking, but he is very happy and loving.

I have a fondness for Golden Retrievers...especially old sweet ones!! I'm glad that Brady has a Mom and Dad to take care of him when he's not feeling good. That's the most important thing.
(((hugs)))
Cute picture. I hope he feels better soon. My two cats say hello.
i am glad that you are writing again. i enjoy what you have to say a lot.
thank you.
Coïncidence : un ami, princier pardon ! pour Brady est prêt a apparaître demain sur mon blog !
Salut Brady
I ponder what you are thinking there, under your blanket. I ponder if you know how much your Mom & Dad love you. I ponder thinkgs like this about my own pets. I am a philosopher too, but only in the privacy of my own head
Take care!
Brady looks very intelligent!
We ALSO have a Golden! Her name is Jessi! She is an 'only dog' ... with MANY kitty CAT friends to keep her company!
She is eight years old - a vERY good dog.
Looks like a sweet dog. Hallie is about the same color as Brady!
salut brady! j'espere que vous etes bien maintenant...vous etes si joli et poli!
What a great photo of Brady with those sad eyes . Thank you for the birthday wishes
great country to be from
I loved this post, tres mignon... et je n'aime pas les chien souvent. *L*
Brady looks like a very wise dog! I hope he feels better very soon. Maybe he wants a knitted blanket for his birthday or christmas?
Hope you are well Michel!!
ah, il est tellement mignon! Merci Michel pour vos messages toujours sympathiques.
very cute picture, so precious.
have a wonderful rest of the week. =)
Aww..Brady is so cute
I'm sure Max was just as adorable. I lost my dog that I had my whole life a few years ago, so I understand what it's like. Thanks so much for your comment on my poetry, I really don't think it's that good 
But thank you for being so sweet and encouraging me!
Much love,
~OxOxSavannahxOxO~
Ahhh a sweet dog after my own heart. What a lover Brady must be Michel. My Brandy is sending kisses to Brady!! And rest asurred that Max is in doggy heaven. Our animals give so freely of love. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were all so kind.
Hi Brady! It's a cute story you have written in Brady's voice
... hope he feels better soon!
Hello Brady! You are so gorgeous, and I'm sure you're lying there just hoping someone will take you for a walk!! You must like walks! I take my two doggie friends walking whenever I can, but I will be moving away from them very soon. Luckily my new accommodation has a lovely German Shepherd dog who is very friendly. Perhaps she would like me to take her for walks sometimes.
We need more philosphers and thinkers. Brady looks particularly wise.
hey! random props
hit me up sometime if ya ever get the time.
-jEssica-
That is so cute!
Awwww....what a sweet face! He is such a pretty dog....er....boy! Puppy kisses!
I know how Brady feels - I am suffering with hay-fever and could do with a nice cuddly blanket. I can't be philosophical at the moment- my brain is in neutral
Marie
I love this blog! very cute pup
Aw!! He's such a sweet looking dog! Cute! =)
Sweet.
Oh Michel, that is an adorable picture! Too cute!
Nice to meet you Brady! The world would be a better place if we all saw it through a dog's eyes, wouldn't it?
The lady in the picture of Madison's preschool graduation is one of her pre-school teachers.
Brady tells us, "I ponder . I ponder on the meaning of the life , the friendship , the trust . It ' s important for me ."
You bring tears to my eyes, you dear old 4-legged, for I ponder as well, and these things are important to me also.
To your good health, Grandpa Dog!
Hi Brady...thank you for coming to visit us. You have the kindest eyes. You can be my philosopher dog any time
dear Brady,
if you ever want to see the pacific ocean the you are most welcome to drop in. you look very comfortable and warm there.
take care
Hi Brady and to you Michel you sly old canine. Sounds better than calling you a dog. Glad you liked the card While I( was waiting for your comments to down load as Xanga is slow at the moment ,my anti virus thing cut in, so I didn't have to waste time, no virus's detected today. although the other day I stupidly opened an attachment file from someone I didn't know so quickly put the anti thing on .and it detected 1 virus and disposed of it, so it pays not to open attachments that I am warned about, as I get several a day and just delete them. Cheers

what a sweet dog! il est mignon!
The gama Juve against Milan was very deceiving and boring. A confirmation of the Italian football,the way they play it. The only thing that counts is to win.
It was to be expected from two teams that play almost in the same way. The defence was wonderful, the goalkeepers were great.....but I slept half of the game and I wake up for the penalties.
A shame for the football.
Bien à toi.
Carlo
P.S. How is doing brady? Cold not over yet? Hope is not the sars ,in Canada they have some problems with that.
Wonderful post Michel
. I can see the wisdom and love in this dear old dog's eyes! 
.
such a hunk! ooh.. he's such a cutie! how adorable! how i wish i had a dog.. so that my 2 darling cats can have another new friend. if i were to get a dog, i'll probably get my fave breeds (jack russell, beagle and corgi). especially corgi! because of the tiny legs of course! haha..
awwwwwwwwwwww
what a cutie!!
happy friday!!
Brady's a handsome looking dog! Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers are my favorite breeds of dog. Cheers, Neil
I hope Brandy is feeling better. I can see him looking through the screen and knowing all, but saying nothing. All dogs are philosophers, we talk, they know.
I hope that Brady gets well soon!
Il est adorable!
Awwww. What a sweetie. Can I take him home?
great pictures and a very cute dog!
My three pug dogs Mr. Peabody, LadyBug and Olive say hello! Brady looks like a real sweetheart! Hope that cold goes away soon!
DG
aw i want a dog its such a cutie!! ^^
Hi
Thanks so much for leaving me that really nice comment. I do hope to write music someday, but I don't think I know too many people that like my work. Thank you for the encouragement though, and I very much enjoyed encorporating French into it 
Much love,
~OxOxSavannahxOxO~
You always make such wonderful posts! I have often wondered what animals are thinking I believe you captured it well!
Hello!
Oh, how cute!
Waves to Michel and Brady
Have a great weekend!!!
I would love to own a dog but my lifestyle is still too busy to add another dependant relative! So, our two cats have to be enough for now. Nice to have you back on Xanga and I hope your life is not too busy for you to continue writing your diary. Tom
Philosphizing is hard work. Get some rest!
Scratch Brady's ears...and give him an extra doggie treat from Holly.
hiii
...thanks for stopping by and commenting. I wondered what your input would be to eastern side of France.

...Brandy is a cutie, even when sick. Nice to know he is being well looked after. Think dogs have the saddest eyes, now I know why. It's all the pondering and witnessing of life, especially when sick. Pondering while sick has to colour the thoughts, no? Hugs,
Golden Retrievers were voted the dogs that "bite the least" several years ago. I have never met one who wasn't amiable and loving. I enjoy reading your site, as I need to improve my French. I love having your translations to help me in my practice! Merci!
Brady certainly seems to understand the humans around him LOL, and how to observe the world, and work it out
Hi Brady, I bet you are a wonderful dog to take for a walk. You can almost see it all in the face of a dog. Cats on the other hand hide everything ha.
YOUR DOG IS SO CUTE!!! and I love how you know him so well...
awww....he looks very sweet!!!! i hope his cold goes away soon!
Oh sweet Brady.....waves back.....Hi.....
This is one of the finest blogs you have shared, Michel. You do know I am a dog lover!
It's good to be back reading your blog.
A BIG KISS FOR BRADY. Hope he gets well soon
Thank-you so much for your kind words about my grandson. And yes I am very excited about being a grandma again. Children bring us so much joy and heartache at times but it is worth it. Take care my friend.
Ahhhhh.......how sweet! Hope he feels better soon.
and {{{hugs}}}
Hehe... we say hi to you too Brady
Hope all is well with you, Michel! Take care.
Aww, majorly cute.
*waving back at Brady* Hi Old Fella. IN about 3 weeks Auntie Deb will be there with Uncle Mikey to scratch your ears and play with you with your toys! I hope you're feeling fine now... and I I understand you're missing good ole Max. So do I.
See you soon Brady Boy!
Love,
Deb
wah~!!! un chien philosophe!!! c'est tres chouette
