Dog Training Takes a Village
As Asa and I continue to follow social distancing guidelines and staying home, I realized something very important. It takes a village to train Mom and Dad! Just a little over a month ago, all my dreams of having Dad and I certified as a Canine Good Citizen came to a crashing halt. We were […]

Sure as far back as 1950 Donald Keyhoe came to that conclusion in his book Flying Saucers Are Real, based on his investigation of encounters between UFOs and the US […]

Throwback Thursday Spring Symphony
All this talk about Earth Day got me thinking about a post Asa wrote when he was a puppy. As a winter puppy, he was amazed by all the new sounds he heard in the spring when the world woke up after the snow melted. I can now relate to this post because since we’ve […]

Thanks UPS!
After weeks of not having anyone come to the house, we finally had a visitor! UPS delivered a package! Ok, so he didn’t stop to visit. We just watched from the window. But it was very nice of him to deliver that box. So nice, in fact, Asa decided to write a song to the […]
