Monday felt like Friday. Tuesday turned into an extended weekend. And now Wednesday is a Monday. I’m so confused! Fourth of July falling on a Tuesday has totally thrown my family’s routine into a state of chaos. The odd work week set Dad up for a rather embarassing moment on Monday. Mom totally disregarded our […]

And so it begins, dogs’ least favorite holiday, the 4th of July. It’s not even July yet, and the fireworks have already started! Seriously, fireworks on July 4th are bad enough. Why extend my torture by randomly shooting them off days ahead of schedule? As far as I can tell no other holiday is celebrated […]

I have to be honest with you. If Mom had a tail, lately it would be droopy. Oh sure she’s happy going on adventures with us. But I can tell she’s been missing our Grandpa (her Dad) and Lemmy. None of us guessed a year ago when we played with Grandpa on Father’s Day that […]
I got barked at…by Humans! No seriously, they barked at me like I was a Squirrel! I was enjoying a relaxing Sunday afternoon on my front lawn, while Mom searched the garden to see if any of the critters left her a strawberry or two. That’s when I heard in the distance someone yell, “Pothole,” […]
Leave it to Asa to accomplish something that Lemmy and I never did. Asa met his biological father, Daddy Spenser, at the New England Golden Jubilee. Now I’ve never had the pleasure to meet my father, Daddy Eclipse, face to face. However, I’m lucky that I can keep in touch with him through social media. […]
