Sorry Asa, but Mom and Dad have gone as far as they can with you. It is time for me to lead them further to receive their good citizen status! Oh sure you’ve worked really hard this past year, but…well…how can I put this nicely? You seem to be a bad influence on Mom and […]
While visiting with our Great Uncle recently, he told us all about the dog he and Grandpa had when they were boys. By the sounds of it, Cookie had a very good sense of humor. For you see he helped Grandpa pull a very funny trick on our Great Grandpa. Great Grandpa insisted that every […]
Asa here. Mom and I both have our annual physicals this week! However, whereas I look forward to seeing my veterinarian, Mom is a bit reluctant to see her doctor. What’s not to love? To show her there is nothing to fear, I decided to invite Mom to tag along on my yearly wellness checkup. […]

But of course they did. After all they […]
I couldn’t help but notice that there’s been a lot on TV about how to celebrate Valentine’s Day. There are cooking shows on preparing the perfect meal, segments on the ideal location to spend the day, and ads for ways to show love ranging from jewelry to a new car. These are all nice, and […]
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, Asa is getting a bit nostalgic thinking of all his old squeaky toys that are no longer with us. Ok, I admit I may have killed a toy or two. But that is no reason to get all wishy washy and dedicate a song to them! Sure he loved them […]

When it comes to true love, certain couples throughout the centuries immediately come to mind – Romeo and Juliet, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Lady and the Tramp, and myself and my bacon scented squeaky ball.
