It seems like everyone is getting dressed up for Halloween these days. Dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs like to don a costume in the spirit of the season. But would you believe spiders are wearing disguises this year too! Why back in my day, a spider was scary enough just being a spider. But […]
Gather round my friends. There’s a Halloween feel in the air today. So join me as we take a candlelight stroll down memory lane to a story I first shared in 2019. This tale, inspired by true events, is a homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843), and continues to haunt me to […]
Whether you’re hitting the road for the 4th of July, or staying close to home, you need to be prepared. Sadly more dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year, and visits to animal hospitals also increase due to medical emergencies. The following are a few reminders for […]
For many Memorial Day Weekend signifies the start of summer. However, far too often we forget the true reason for the holiday. Memorial Day is a time to honor those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War, to remember […]
It is the moment everyone has been waiting for – the big reveal of what practical gift did Dad help us pick out for Mother’s Day this year! From our Dad who in the past has given Mom such memorable gifts as a vacuum cleaner… …an old timey push lawnmower… …and lawn chairs… We bring […]
I admit for previous Mother’s Days, Asa and I took the lazy dog route and let Dad pick her gift. Those gifts tended to be on the practical side. Although Mom never said anything, she sure didn’t react like they do on those Mother’s Day commercials. This year I decided to let the most impractical […]
After a one week delay, our annual kibble hunt took place yesterday. As you may recall, there were cheating accusations in 2022 that have yet to be addressed. Therefore this year I made a few changes in the judging. First the treat total would be kept in a written tally, and not as just a […]
Not to brag, but I will. Since 2012 I have been the winner of our Easter kibble hunt. Oh sure, there is an asterisk by 2014, because I was the only dog competing that year. Lemmy had just crossed Rainbow Bridge that Friday. But all the other years I have won…that is until last year. […]
Top o’ the morning to you! I’ve been a wild rover for many a year, and I’ve spent all my money on shamrocks and hats. Despite Chuck O’Billy saying “No, nay never no more!” I convinced him to jig with me down memory lane… Alright, enough with trying to sing today’s post to the tune […]
Chuck Billy, step away from the boxes for the Christmas tree decorations. I have found an historic reason to keep the house decorated for awhile longer! According to the website English-Heritage.org.uk, in Medieval England Christmas lasted to Candlemas, which is 40 days after December 25th. So technically we can keep our celebration going through February […]
