It’s time to play everyone’s favorite game – Dog Bed Tetris! Why take a boring nap, when you can turn it into a game? The rules are simple. How many different ways can two Golden Retrievers fit onto one oversized dog bed? It may sound easy, but it’s not. Anything can happen during this game […]
Apparently yesterday was National Peanut Butter Lovers Day. Not to be confused with National Peanut Butter Day which takes place in January or National Peanut Butter Month which everyone knows is November. Anyways, I would like to dedicate My Ode to Peanut Butter to our big brother, Lemmy, who absolutely loved this treat. So much […]
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 […]
Well apparently the case of the missing dog nail clippers continues! Guess what arrived on our doorstep on Saturday? The “undeliverable” replacement clippers Mom ordered a month ago! Dad thought he canceled that order when we received notice they couldn’t be delivered for unexplained reasons. Yet, surprise there it was almost a month to the […]

Many dogs have called the White House home and have proudly served our country as top dog. However today I’d like to pay tribute to two devoted presidential dog owners, whose best friends never set a paw in the White House. Yet their devotion to their dogs was undeniable, namely George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. […]
Today marks the start of Chinese New Year! Better yet, according to the Chinese zodiac calendar, it is the Year of the Dog! So I decided to do a little research to see what this all means. The Dog occupies the eleventh position in the Chinese zodiac, after the Rooster, and before the Pig. Which […]
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 […]
Sometimes, in rising up to meet a challenge, you can run into adversity. This is my story. During the subfreezing temperatures in January, Dad got the ridiculous idea that Asa and I should wear booties to protect our paws. As you can probably guess, Asa and I had completely different reactions. However, being a good […]
