As the Chief Executive Dog of this family, it is important that I surround myself with staff that I can trust to get things done correctly without me having to micromanage them. Therefore, in celebration of Administrative Professionals Day, I decided to review with Mom and Dad the skills they must maintain to keep our […]
This week’s lesson has Mom and I thoroughly confused. As you know, Asa and I have been working really hard at training Mom and Dad to always walk at a heel on our right side. They’ve mastered the concept on-leash, and we recently started working on it off-leash as well. But now Mom and Dad’s […]
Today’s Earth Day message is brought to you on behalf of honey bees and dogs. In the spring humans go through great lengths trying to have the “perfect” lawn. However, have you stopped to consider how imperfect perfection is, and what harm it is doing to the environment? By covering lawns and gardens in pesticides […]
Earlier this week Asa celebrated his favorite squeaky toy’s 2 year anniversary, which he happened to have received as an Easter gift. I also have a reason to celebrate a memorable Easter squeaky toy. Except that stuffie was not my friend. Three years ago I confronted the biggest squeaky bunny I’ve ever met, and showed […]
Five years ago on this date, at approximately 9:00 PM, our Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge. His courageous battle against Cushing’s Disease was over. We were blessed to be able to spend one final week with Lemmy. Mom and Dad both worked outside of the home back then. Where Mom worked, that week was the busiest […]
Asa here. While looking through old photos I made a startling realization. Yesterday was Ms. Caterpillar’s two year anniversary of being my friend. That’s like a bazillion years in stuffed animal time! I never dreamed when I received her as a gift from the Easter Bunny that Ms. Caterpillar would still be going strong two […]
This week Mom and Dad’s trainer invited us to join him for a special class at the beach. The students were specially selected because we each had unique skills that we needed to work on with our humans. One dog, nicknamed “Cujo” by the trainer, is aggressive towards little dogs. Another dog, nicknamed “Dopey,” is […]
Today is Patriots’ Day. A state holiday observed in Massachusetts and Maine commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War, which took place on April 19, 1775. Throughout the day today in Lexington and Concord there will be reenactments of this epic battle. But for those of […]
Today is NOT my lucky day. There I was on morning patrol, minding my own business while doing my business. The trees were alive with the music of singing birds. There were Robins happily enjoying breakfast on the neighbor’s lawn. There was also a flock of Canadian Geese flying overhead. In short, after a week […]
Marc Brown once wrote, “Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.” Although I’m quick to point out my superiority, when it comes down to it, Lemmy and Asa are rather awesome too in their own unique ways. So to celebrate National Siblings Day, I’m going to compliment my brothers. Lemmy is […]
