We’re all adults here. I’m not sure why Dad and Mr. Skunk had to raise a big stink. Sure it happened fast. Everyone was caught off guard. But neither Dad nor Mr. Skunk handled it very well. He was headed out for a night of carousing. Mr. Skunk that is, not Dad. Dad was just […]
For Presidents’ Day on Monday I paid tribute to George Washington’s love of dogs. Not wanting to play favorites to dogs, today I’m sharing Abraham Lincoln’s devotion to cats.

Yesterday I referred to Angel Chuck Billy’s strange obsession with elves spying on him for Santa. Well it wasn’t just elves that had him concerned. He also expanded his theory to include cats being on Santa’s payroll to trap dogs on the naughty list. I realize that since he first presented his findings, I have […]
Well you don’t see that every day. In fact, I’m not really sure what I saw! It all unfolded right in front of us as we were driving down the road. Before us was a truck, and next thing we know we saw a squirrel flying from underneath it! Mom gasped in horror, afraid for […]
