Dad and Mom, we need to have a little talk about respect in the workplace. Specifically, how many times must I remind you not to call me by my embarrassing nickname when I am working? I would never call you something silly in front of your coworkers. But yet you do not give me the […]
Picture if you will, two dogs and their family walking on the beach. It is early morning, on a beautiful summer day. They are laughing and enjoying each other’s company, without a care in the world. That is until they crossed into another dimension. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless […]
Well this is awkward. On Friday Asa and I agreed to disagree as to what is the perfect Mother’s Day gift. After reviewing Asa’s not so great ideas, we decided it would be best if we each picked out a gift for Mom. So you can’t begin to imagine our embarrassment when we realized we […]
Well once again Dad surprised Mom with a gift she would not think of buying herself. Unique yet practical gifts have been a long tradition with our Dad. Over the years he has given Mom such thoughtful gifts as rain gutters, snow tires, ice cleats, a vacuum, a hairdryer, and an office chair. And who […]
It all started a few years ago when Mom purchased a pumpkin Halloween costume for my older brother, Angel Lemmy. It looked harmless enough, a hat and a collar, and Lemmy didn’t mind too badly having to wear it. Little did my family realize though, that small purchase would awaken Mom’s secret obsession with dog […]
Sadly we were told by our mechanic that Dad’s 19 year old car is beyond repair. Thus begins our quest to purchase a new car, something which Dad is somewhat prepared for and already has a spreadsheet of various makes and models to examine. However, being Helicopter Dog Parents, this means they are asking questions […]
Mom has a lot on her mind lately. Therefore she did what generations of women in her family have done in similar situations – she cleaned the house. I’m not talking your average weekly chores. I’m talking about finding what’s that in the back of the cupboards and closets, and dusting the top of the […]
Humans are creatures of habit. Humans are also easily distracted. Combine the two, and things can get embarrassingly messy. Such was the case on a recent walk with Dad. Dad begins our daily morning walk by stuffing his pockets with poop bags. As we walk along, he tends to lose concentration on the task at […]
Dad really out did himself with his Christmas gift for Mom. Now before we reveal what he gave her, Asa and I would like to state for the record that we had absolutely nothing to do with this gift. Dad put our names on the gift tag without our permission. Also, for those who may […]
Now I may have mentioned in the past that Dad considers himself to be like MacGyver. He is a big fan of the ’80s television show, in which using ordinary items MacGyver can solve any problem. But unlike MacGyver, Dad doesn’t often find himself in situations where these skills are needed. That is until while […]
