That’s odd. There is a cryptic appointment on our calendar for today at 9:00 AM labeled with just 3 exclamation points, and no additional information. 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. […]
Dogs, have ever been falsely accused of sleeping on the job? Believe it or not, despite working very hard supervising Mom and Dad, they routinely make this accusation. So today we are defending our actions, so that our coworkers will think twice before rushing to judgement again! Here we are demonstrating the classic, “this meeting […]
Have I mentioned how much I love Daylight Saving Time? Not only do I get fed an hour early, having Mom sleep deprived can lead to delicious treats! Well almost, if in my excitement I didn’t ruin it. Let me explain. Mom was making her breakfast a little while ago, when she reached into the […]
Good News! I’m not hearing voices! Well I am hearing a voice, but it is not in my head or coming from an invisible intruder. It is coming from the radio! No not a regular radio. A squeaky toy boom box that I received as a gift in January for my 12th birthday. Grandma gave […]

Contrary to what some may believe, long cold winters do not kill off ticks. Ticks can survive the winter by going dormant. Leaf debris not cleared away from the previous fall and brush areas provide insulation under the snow, which helps the ticks to survive. Then as the snow melts, and temperatures reach approximately 40º […]
Take that naysayers! You scoffed at my determination to keep my Christmas tree up past December. You rolled your eyes at my optimism that if it stayed up perhaps more gifts will be delivered. Well who’s laughing now? ME! That’s who, because it is March and we received a Christmas gift! Oh sure there is […]
It was a little past midnight. The wind was howling. The house was creaking. Mom was lying awake, as usual. As she listened to the roar outside, she thought she heard a rustling noise in the hallway. She strained to listened. What could it be? After a few moments, she heard it again. Quietly Mom […]
Attention all dogs! Today, February 29, 2024, is Leap Day! The day the Four Paws on the Floor Rule does not apply! Yep, you read that right! It isn’t an urban myth! Leap Day does exist! Approximately every four years dogs do not have to obey the Four Paws on the Floor Rule, and instead […]
