I admit for previous Mother’s Days, Asa and I took the lazy dog route and let Dad pick her gift. Those gifts tended to be on the practical side. Although Mom never said anything, she sure didn’t react like they do on those Mother’s Day commercials. This year I decided to let the most impractical […]
After a one week delay, our annual kibble hunt took place yesterday. As you may recall, there were cheating accusations in 2022 that have yet to be addressed. Therefore this year I made a few changes in the judging. First the treat total would be kept in a written tally, and not as just a […]
Not to brag, but I will. Since 2012 I have been the winner of our Easter kibble hunt. Oh sure, there is an asterisk by 2014, because I was the only dog competing that year. Lemmy had just crossed Rainbow Bridge that Friday. But all the other years I have won…that is until last year. […]
Top o’ the morning to you! I’ve been a wild rover for many a year, and I’ve spent all my money on shamrocks and hats. Despite Chuck O’Billy saying “No, nay never no more!” I convinced him to jig with me down memory lane… Alright, enough with trying to sing today’s post to the tune […]
Chuck Billy, step away from the boxes for the Christmas tree decorations. I have found an historic reason to keep the house decorated for awhile longer! According to the website English-Heritage.org.uk, in Medieval England Christmas lasted to Candlemas, which is 40 days after December 25th. So technically we can keep our celebration going through February […]
For the past two years Asa and I have participated in the the Anglo-Saxon tradition of wassailing our apple trees, in an attempt to scare away the evil spirits by blessing them with cider, song, and toast. However, despite singing, cheering, jeering, and yes a little dancing, we are no closer to having a bountiful […]
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 […]
Oh Buoy! It’s almost Christmas! As we batten down the hatches for today’s storm, we’d like to take this moment to wish everyone Merry Christmas! For those traveling or in the path of the storm, we wish you a safe harbor. And for those who need a smile today, here are a few outtakes from […]
Dogs, whether you’re visiting family and friends over the Holidays, or hosting a gathering at your home, here are some things to keep in mind so that it is a happy and worry-free celebration for everyone, especially you! First off, you’re going to be surrounded by a lot of tempting food. But you need to […]
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, but do you recall that time Asa met a reindeer on Christmas Eve? I didn’t but Asa’s decision to take his reindeer squeaky friend on a walk yesterday reminded me. And of course that in turn reminded Asa of the song he wrote for the special […]
