Walking Day and Nighttime
I think we all could use a smile this morning. So I’m going to do something uncharacteristic of me. I’m letting Asa pick from the archives his favorite song parody to share with you today. It comes with little surprise that he chose a song he is often heard singing on our daily walks. Ok, […]

Working Like a Dog
In honor of Labor Day Weekend, I thought I’d share with you this email my big brother Lemmy wrote to his biological Mom, Butter, back on Labor Day in 2011. Apparently his attempt at getting a summer job didn’t go so well. But he was only 5 years old at the time…not to mention a […]
