If you haven’t noticed, Mom and Dad are a little overprotective. Oh sure in many ways it is comforting to know they have our best interest at heart. But sometimes they are a little ridiculous. According to Wikipedia, “A helicopter parent is a parent who pays extremely close attention to a child’s or children’s experiences and problems. […]

Dad’s trees are under attack! As you know from Lead Us Not into Temptation, Dad takes his trees seriously…even if some of them look more like sticks than trees. Well you can’t even begin to imagine how bad I feel that I let Dad down. Everyone knows that a farmer depends on his dog to scare […]

Our first Golden Retriever, Lemmy, was not a good swimmer. He would start off well, but he often got distracted and would stop swimming! Now most dogs have survival instincts and wouldn’t let themselves sink without a fight. Not our Lemmy. With the true heart of a Golden, he would simply let himself sink while […]
Our vacation continues! This is Asa’s first time at the lake, and as a good big brother I was prepared to teach him how to swim. When I was a little scamp Lemmy wasn’t exactly a good teacher. Ok, he was awful! Lemmy was a bit of curmudgeon and wasn’t good at explaining things, so […]
