How It Started in 2012 vs. How It Is Going in 2023
On this date 11 years ago, I joined my family! A lot has changed in 11 years, but as you can see by this stroll down memory lane, I haven’t changed at all. I continue to lead my family on adventures. While also reminding them of the importance of car safety. Dinner has always been […]

Bird’s Eye View
Ever get that feeling at the back of your head that someone is following you too close? That’s what happened to Dad and me on a recent walk. If Chuck Billy was with us, I’m sure he would have assumed it was a UFO. I wondered if my squirrel friends were flying a kite on […]

The Truth about Puppies
Today is National Puppy Day. So while all the humans are cooing over the cute puppy pictures being shared, I’m going to remind everyone about the truth. Puppies are annoying!

But with something this serious, we wanted […]

Blending into the Background
The American Kennel Club (AKC) recently announced the most popular dog breeds, and once again it isn’t the Golden Retriever. We didn’t even come in second. Instead, Golden Retrievers continue to hold onto 3rd place. Well except for in 2020, when we dropped to 4th, but that was a bad year for everyone. Don’t get […]

Did Someone Say Shenanigans?
Top o’ the morning to you! I’ve been a wild rover for many a year, and I’ve spent all my money on shamrocks and hats. Despite Chuck O’Billy saying “No, nay never no more!” I convinced him to jig with me down memory lane… Alright, enough with trying to sing today’s post to the tune […]

Talk Squeaky to Me
Today we are celebrating the birthday of one of the hardest working men in rock – Bret Michaels! When most lead singers would be satisfied touring with their main band, Bret often is also performing solo shows on his days off from Poison, doing fundraisers for everyone from veterans, to summer camps for children with […]

March Snow Is Special
March snow is special, and should never be taken for granted. Because one never knows when the last snowfall of the season will be. Take today for example. When we awoke we were disappointed to see it was raining, and our precious snow was melting. However, the meteorologists assured us that at any moment it […]
