So there we were enjoying a beautiful Spring day at the beach. The sun was shining. The waves were crashing. The smell of sand and suntan lotion wafting through the air. The type of day that inspires poets to write sonnets! We were even lucky enough to have the beach to ourselves. Plenty of room […]
Two years ago today we said goodbye to our best friend, Lemmy. Someone once said, “Every once in awhile a dog enters your life and changes everything.” For Mike and I, Lemmy was that dog. Little did we realize when that little ball of fur came home with us in January 2007 what an amazing […]
Out there lurking among the tall grass and decaying leaves waiting to pounce is a nemesis to dogs even worse than squirrels – Ticks! Worst yet, it is virtually impossible to avoid them. Even dogs who only spend a brief time outside can pick up a hungry Tick. So unless you want to become a […]
As many of you know, one of my missions in life is to warn fellow dogs about the dangers of Alien abductions. Not to dwell on the past, but approximately three years ago on a routine visit to the vet’s office I was abducted by Aliens. My abduction was a textbook case: I experienced unexplained […]
Today is National Pet Day, and it occurred to me dogs play a really important role in our communities. Namely if it wasn’t for us, our humans wouldn’t know their neighbors! Take for example our neighbor Charlie. He was so excited when he moved into the neighborhood that he couldn’t wait to introduce himself. We […]
Dad’s been working really hard lately. Perhaps a bit too hard. He forgot the commands we taught him! The other day, Dad spent the entire morning using his dictation software to write a report for work. Needing a bit of a break to clear his mind, he happily leashed us up to take a quick […]
Dear Mother Nature and Punxsutawney Phil, We couldn’t help but notice that you two are having a bit of a disagreement over the arrival of Spring. We distinctly remember Punxsutawney, that back in February on Groundhog’s Day you predicted an early Spring. You were even well on your way to surpassing that goal with an […]
The Dynamic Duo strikes again! This time we saved a fellow Golden Retriever! On Saturday we went to a race to cheer on Potsie and Thurston’s Mom. After finding a good spot to watch the runners, all of a sudden darting across a very busy road came this Golden Retriever headed straight for us! What […]
Har! Har! The joke is on you! For over a year now we have been bringing you our thoughts on Living with a Golden. But time for us to reveal the truth – we’re not Golden Retrievers! We’re actually Bulldogs! We thought for sure you’d catch on to our little joke early. Like anyone would […]
We saved a life on our morning walk! Seriously, I saved a life! We were on neighborhood patrol when out of the shadows came running a small dog. We had never seen him before, and he was equally surprised to see us. You know how excitable Jack Russell Terriers can be. So despite it being […]
