Another Out of This World Experience
I’d like to begin by stating I’m fine. However, yesterday I had surgery to remove a lump from underneath my eyelid. Dr. Heidi assured Mom and Dad that is was a benign cyst. Clearly Dr. Heidi is not familiar with my research as a renown Dog Ufologist, because that was no cyst. She removed an […]

This all started when Asa saw Ernie and Bert costumes at the pet supplies store. Luckily for me, they […]

The Telltale Tail
This tale, inspired by true events, is a homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart.” True! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? Listen, and observe how calmly I can tell you the whole story, of how my tail betrayed me. It […]
