Hopping Down Memory Lane with Asa
Today Asa is hopping down memory lane with this post from 2018 when he thought he and the Easter Bunny were best friends. Thankfully, the Easter Bunny never did come over for a playdate.

The March Snowstorm: A Spring Idle
On Friday night the snow began to quietly fall, while the housemates slumbered. When morning awoke, we were greeted on that late March day with a winter wonderland. “Outside Boys!” Dad happily called, as he and Mom donned their snow gear recently tucked away in anticipation of spring. No further prompting needed, our snow day […]

Farewell to the Winter that Wasn’t
Today at exactly 11:06 PM EDT the 2024 spring equinox will occur. Mother Nature, that means you still have almost an entire day left to fill our order for snow. Just imagine the smiles on everyone’s faces, including our big goofy Golden grins, if you send us a surprise snowstorm today! You’d be the hero […]

I Gotta Squeak You
Unfortunately over the weekend the tipping of our toy basket, while Mom was trying to do a little spring cleaning, resulted in our stuffie friends gaining undue attention. This led to a spa day in the laundry room for some, a trip to the stuffie ER to await surgery for others, and sadly for a […]

Unexplained Appointment Planned for Today

I don’t recall adding anything to the calendar, and surely I’d put more detail than that. It must be something Mom or Dad added? Well this is getting even stranger. […]
