Two Days Before Christmas: A Poem

Ultimate Puppy Challenge
An open letter to Asa: Since entering our family, I have been training you for the Ultimate Puppy Challenge, or what humans refer to as the Christmas Season.

Early Documented Dog Recall
Last night I was watching Pilgrims: American Experience on PBS, when the narrator made a profound statement. After arriving at Cape Cod, the Pilgrims set out to explore the area. Walking farther away on the beach they saw 6 men and a dog. The Native Inhabitants stood and watched the Pilgrims for a moment, then […]
