For years I have been haunted by an innocent mistake I made as a puppy. I stole Santa’s hat. When I was a mere pup of 11 months old, Mom and Dad took me to get my picture taken with Santa, and let’s just say I got a bit overly excited. Come on, who hasn’t […]
Asa and I have reached an important milestone! Mom is trusting us with our very own, fully decorated, Christmas tree! It only took me 5 long years to achieve this goal. No thanks to Lemmy, who sabotaged my first Christmas by decorating a tree with tennis balls! But after years of enjoying the Christmas tree […]
And so it begins again. It is that time of year when Mom loses her mind and insists on turning the entire house into what can best be described as an explosion at Santa’s Village. Seriously, soon every room in this house will be festooned in Christmas decorations. Nothing is safe, not even the bathroom! […]
For those of you hitting the road today for Thanksgiving, here is Asa’s updated version of Over the River and Through the Woods for you to sing on your journey. From our family to yours, safe travels and Happy Thanksgiving! Over the river and through the woods, To Grandmother’s house we go; The GPS knows back ways […]
In honor of Thanksgiving, I would like to share with you the adventures of the dogs who accompanied the Pilgrims to Plymouth Plantation. Among the 100 passengers and 30 crew members on the Mayflower there were at least two dogs. Unfortunately William Bradford is silent on the contributions of dogs to the new colony in his […]
Dogs, you may have noticed a few odd looking characters lurking around your neighborhood these past few days. Don’t panic! In the coming nights these strange looking ghouls, goblins, witches, princesses and superheroes will be knocking on YOUR door. But it’s ok! It’s Halloween! I know this goes against your instincts to guard your home […]
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 […]
Today is Boss Appreciation Day. However, I’ve been awake for a few hours now, and Mom, Dad and Asa have yet to do anything to mark this special holiday. Therefore as their lovable boss, I would like to take this time to remind them, why they should appreciate me today and every day. After all […]
Monday felt like Friday. Tuesday turned into an extended weekend. And now Wednesday is a Monday. I’m so confused! Fourth of July falling on a Tuesday has totally thrown my family’s routine into a state of chaos. The odd work week set Dad up for a rather embarassing moment on Monday. Mom totally disregarded our […]
And so it begins, dogs’ least favorite holiday, the 4th of July. It’s not even July yet, and the fireworks have already started! Seriously, fireworks on July 4th are bad enough. Why extend my torture by randomly shooting them off days ahead of schedule? As far as I can tell no other holiday is celebrated […]
