I had a plan. I did everything right. Yet everything went wrong. In November when we changed the clocks to end Daylight Saving Time, Dad put new batteries in each of the smoke detectors, and Mom dusted and cleaned them. All in an effort to avoid that chirping noise they make when the batteries run […]
It was an average evening. The type of evening not worth remembering more than any other evening. Or so I thought. I was in my usual spot, waiting for my dinner to be served. Asa was trying out his bad jokes on a defenseless stuffie, too polite to squeak, while some old familiar song played […]
While writing my memoir earlier this week, I was reminded of a hobby I once had in my younger years. As you know I take my responsibilities on neighborhood patrol very serious. However, back when I was a puppy there weren’t as many houses in my neighborhood to protect. Therefore while walking the long stretches […]
I dedicate this song to all the work from home office dogs, tired of being ignored! It’s time we rise up and have a little fun! Thanks to the boys from Motley Crue, here’s my parody of “Smokin’ in the Boys Room,” to get you through the day! Do you ever seem to have one […]
Recently I shared a “then and now” photo of me at Fort Foster in Kittery Maine. This park is special because it is the first place Mom and Dad took each of us as puppies, and we have had many adventures there since then. However, in recent years we stopped going there. Although there is […]
Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of me joining my family. I’ve always been struck by that line in It’s a Wonderful Life when Pa Bailey tells his son George, “you were born older.” In many ways I think that describes my role in this family. As the middle dog, I’ve experienced life as both the […]
Sunday, March 27th, is the 10th anniversary of my Gotcha Day! It’s hard to believe it has been a decade since I left my my brothers and sisters in the whelping box, and headed out on my grand adventure with my forever family. Those certainly were carefree days filled with eating, sleeping and playing. However […]
As we say goodbye to the last patch of snow in our backyard, I couldn’t help but be reminded of my brother, angel Lemmy. No one loved snow more than Lemmy. From the first flake of the season to the last, he cherished every bit of it. However, it was that last flake that would […]
Today is National Puppy Day! To celebrate, I thought I’d share this video of Asa’s first year. It begins with Asa’s arrival home in January 2015 and goes through to his first birthday in November. Ok, not exactly a full year, but what do you expect with Asa doing the math? Be sure to watch […]
This past Sunday it was a beautiful day in our neighborhood, and Mom and Dad were restless. Therefore Asa and I decided to leash them up and take them for a walk on the beach to burn off some energy. Little did we realize the adventure that awaited us! When we arrived we discovered the […]
