Dogs, the official start to summer is almost here, and that means many of us will be heading to the beach with our families. Last fall I wrote a shout out to all the good dogs, congratulating the many dogs we saw working with their humans to obey the beach rules. We were very impressed […]
Oh dear, it makes my tail droop when the neighbors aren’t getting along. Yesterday I took Mom and Dad out for a walk while Chuck Billy stayed home, and we witnessed the most disturbing altercation between Mr. and Mrs. Robin and Jay Bluejay. Dad was the first to notice something was amiss when he spotted […]
