As Americans prepare to celebrate Independence Day on July 4th, I’d like to pause to acknowledge the patriotic dogs that helped shape our country. After all, as every dog knows, next to every great human is an even more awesome pup! Or at least that is my theory concerning the signers of the Declaration of […]

Despite Dad’s best efforts to plant the sunflower seeds inside to let them sprout before replanting them outside in the garden, the Chipmunk’s crime spree continues. The plants are […]
