Checkmate Dr. Doug
Have I ever mentioned what an intelligent human Mom and Dad’s trainer is? A remarkable man! A brilliant man! He really knows his stuff as a trainer.

Well that Didn’t Go as Planned
I visited Dr. Doug at the veterinarian’s office. It didn’t go like I planned. I wanted to show off my hard work training Mom and Dad. I envisioned us laughing over how silly they use to behave, all while Dr. Doug fed me lots of delicious treats. Instead I got super excited to be there, […]

Two Doors Diverged in the Hall
As National Poetry Month comes to a close, I’d like to share my poem on the choices dogs face every day in their lives. Should we bark at the obvious choice? Or should we choose a more ambiguous outcome? Either way a choice is inevitable. Two doors diverged in the hall, And sorry I could […]

On The Fence
Last week at approximately 2:43 PM I overheard Mom report to Dad that a section of our fence was knocked down. This sounds like a case for Detective Chuck Billy!
