As the year draws to a close, this is always the most difficult post for us to write, especially in 2020. The loss of human life this year is overwhelming, with so many families and pets grieving. Yet we feel it is important to continue our tradition of paying tribute to the dear dog and […]
This Christmas as shipping boxes replace gift wrapped presents under the tree, if there are any gifts at all; when loved ones speak to each other through screens, while others have a seat at the table that will forever be empty; and we all face a future filled with uncertainties, we’d like to share with […]

I hope your Christmas is quite fetching too! Dashing through the snowTwo Goldens out to play O’er the fields we run,Barking all the wayBells on collars […]
Chuck Billy killed stuffed animals to begin with. There is no doubt whatsoever about that. The fluff was strewn about the house. Chuck Billy knew he killed it? Of course he did! How could it be otherwise? Chuck Billy knew the squeaky toy was a shell of its former self. And even he was not […]

However, on Christmas Eve you must remember your polite greeting of people training when Santa arrives! Otherwise you risk being perpetually on Santa’s Naughty List. Trust me, I speak from experience! Years […]

According to Anglo-Saxon folklore, Asa and I need to bless our apple trees with cider, song, and toast! The […]
