Well once again Daylight Saving Time has come to an end, leaving dogs across the country in a state of confusion. We may have gained an hour by turning the clocks back, but our meals are now served late. Why do humans insist on changing dinnertime? Don’t they know that Golden Retrievers run on Golden […]
It happened again. My peaceful night’s sleep was interrupted by the jarring noise of the smoke alarm in my room chirping a low battery alert. Mom, who I’m not sure has ever enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep, heard it too, and was immediately there to rescue Asa and me. As soon as she flung open […]
Last night Mom kissed us goodnight, and then laid down in her bed. As she drifted to sleep she felt something tickle her face. She touched it, and realized instantly that there was a tick on her face! She sprang from her bed to dispose of it, thankful that it hadn’t bit her yet. After […]
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 […]
Well it happened again. We got locked out of the house. This isn’t the first time this happened. Nor will it be the last. So of course while we waited for the door to open, Asa wrote a song parody about it. This time it is to Chumbawamba’s earworm, “Tubthumping.” Except for us the song […]
The eye specialist warned us that Asa’s personality may change after losing his eye. I did not realize that meant for the better. He’s finally helping me with my most important duty – reminding Mom it is dinnertime! In the past Asa was very irresponsible, and would leave the work all up to me, while […]
Humans are creatures of habit. Humans are also easily distracted. Combine the two, and things can get embarrassingly messy. Such was the case on a recent walk with Dad. Dad begins our daily morning walk by stuffing his pockets with poop bags. As we walk along, he tends to lose concentration on the task at […]
Sssshh! Can you keep a secret? Last week Dad was away for a few days, so we’ve been playing by Mom’s rules. They are kind of like Dad’s rules, but a lot better. Here are a few highlights, but remember just like the motto “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” let’s just keep this […]
Asa and I noticed that Mom and Dad’s batteries aren’t at 100% lately. Therefore we’ve decided that for the next 2 weeks we are going to unplug and help them recharge. Well that and apparently according to our Human Resources department, we owe them a vacation. They surprisingly put in a lot of work helping […]
