Thursday Update: Asa and family would like to thank all of you for your love and positive vibes! He is feeling more like himself this morning, as his eye continues to heal. Asa is disappointed that he missed Halloween, and wanted to share with you the post he had planned before being rushed to the […]
Dear Great Pumpkin, On this National Pumpkin Day, I’d like to give you a pep talk. After watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for the umpteenth time, it has come to my realization I don’t know anyone who has actually met you. I can understand being shy, and not wanting to draw attention to […]
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 […]
It seems like everyone is getting dressed up for Halloween these days. Dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs like to don a costume in the spirit of the season. But would you believe spiders are wearing disguises this year too! Why back in my day, a spider was scary enough just being a spider. But […]

It is the moment everyone has been waiting for – the big reveal of what practical gift did Dad help us pick out for Mother’s Day this year! From our Dad who in the past has given Mom such memorable gifts as a vacuum cleaner… …an old timey push lawnmower… …and lawn chairs… We bring […]

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 […]
