Twelve years ago today, on January 25, 2007, my big brother Lemmy came to live with Mom and Dad. For an eight week old puppy, he certainly had a huge project on his paws trying to train two first time dog owners. Boy were they unprepared for this little guy! Don’t get me wrong, Mom […]
Dear Mom and Dad, take a seat. We need to have an important discussion. Please stop calling Asa and me embarrassing nicknames when we are out in public! We are grown dogs now with responsibilities and a reputation to maintain. We even have our own blog! So please resist the urge to call me “Chuckles” […]
It’s official. Dad has finally lost his mind. I knew it was only a matter of time, but I never expected it to be in such an absurd manner! Dad turned Asa’s cone of shame into a colander of shame! On Sunday Mom discovered a hot spot on Asa. When Mom and Dad can’t keep […]
For those of you who have been following us for awhile, you know that Dad has a habit of giving Mom boring and practical gifts. Usually he gives Mom a kitchen appliance or something else that is very useful for daily chores. The list of past Birthday, Christmas and Mother Day gifts include snow tires, […]
I have to admit I initially agreed with Grandma that Mom was way out of her comfort zone with her latest mission. Mom’s two cousins are each expecting babies, which has her very excited. To welcome these little ones, Mom wanted to buy them gifts. However, Grandma was a bit worried that Mom was out […]
Ssshh, I’m hiding from Mom as she gets our ridiculous Halloween costumes ready for a weekend filled with embarassing photos, culminating in being publicly humiliated at the Portsmouth Halloween Parade! So while I hide, please enjoy my frightening version of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, this is […]
Dad tries. He really does. But when it comes to giving presents to Mom, let’s just say he could use a little help. One year for Mother’s Day he and Lemmy gave Mom a vacuum. Yep, he forced Lemmy to give Mom the starring character in every dog’s nightmare! Then there was the BIG birthday […]
Ok, so in Monday’s post I may not have given Lemmy the credit he deserves. It wasn’t until I started looking through his old puppy photos that I realized how utterly ridiculous Mom and Dad were as first time dog owners. No wonder Lemmy acted odd on my first day! My homecoming probably reminded him […]
Dad means well, he really does. But I’m a dog, and even I’m baffled by his poor sense of judgement. Would you believe thanks to Dad’s silly mistake, Asa almost lost his Imaginary Friend? After Dad accidentally broke the stove, he decided a new one would be the “perfect” birthday gift for Mom. Unbelievable! At […]
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, this is silly, Over many a quaint and curious costume of forgotten Halloweens — While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came some laughing, As of some one gently laughing, laughing at my garb. “’Tis the TV,” I muttered, “laughing in my living room — Only this […]
