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 […]
Mom, Heel! Dad, Heel! Leave it! No! No! No! Drop it, now! That’s not yours! Don’t make me chase you! Get back here this instant! Dear Readers, my sincere apologies that you had to witness me disciplining my humans. But Mom and Dad have been overly excited about the Holidays and not behaving. Each time […]
Well this is awkward. Asa and I have done such a great job leash training Mom and Dad to walk to our standards, that they’ve forgotten how to walk with other humans! For years now we have worked really hard to train Mom and Dad to walk at a heel with us. This includes automatically […]
In celebration of National Dog Photography Day, we are saluting the unsung people behind the lens who capture everything from the mundane to the extraordinary in the lives of dogs. Some of these images have become iconic and are burned into minds around the word. Other photos are captured by folks risking life and limb […]
The other day while on the way back from a hike, Dad stopped at the pharmacy to pick up more of Asa’s eyedrops. Normally we get our medications from our veterinarian’s office, but these eyedrops are prescribed by a specialist in another state. Therefore it is easier to get refills at our local human pharmacy. […]
Asa here. After being home for a year, we thought it would be best to ease Mom and Dad back into society, by first visiting with relatives. Chuck Billy and I were pleasantly surprised that they remembered most of their socialization training. However, there were a few things we felt could use some fine tuning […]
Yesterday we had our first visitor inside our house in what seems like a bazillion dog years! In fact, we can’t remember the last time we invited someone inside our home. Oh sure, Asa has had mice, ants, and various other bugs inside to play over the past year. But they weren’t invited and quickly […]
Mom and Dad were bored this weekend, and now Asa and I are paying the consequences for their tomfoolery! They like to play this game every once in awhile where they will talk about the silliest things to see what ads will appear in their social media newsfeeds. Sure enough the bots were listening and […]
