On April 18, 2014, just after 9:00 PM, our brother Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge. But this post is NOT about when he left us. Instead, today I am sharing Mom and Dad’s memories of when Lemmy came home on January 25, 2007. Lemmy was their first dog, and they talk about those fond memories with […]
As we say goodbye to the last patch of snow in our backyard, I couldn’t help but be reminded of my brother, angel Lemmy. No one loved snow more than Lemmy. From the first flake of the season to the last, he cherished every bit of it. However, it was that last flake that would […]
In celebration of National Peanut Butter Lovers Day, we dedicate today’s poem to our brother, angel Lemmy, who absolutely loved this treat. With just the mere mention of Peanut Butter, he would perform every trick he ever learned in rapid succession in the hopes of getting a lick. I admit Asa’s no Lord Byron, and his […]
Dad’s car needs to go in for a big repair. The last time we did this the mechanic gave us a not so subtle hint that our car smells a bit too much like dog, by dousing it in heavy deodorizer. So to avoid that embarrassment this time, we decided to clean out the car […]
This is an exciting week for Asa as he waits for Santa’s big visit. But he isn’t nearly as excited as the year our brother, angel Lemmy, woke the entire house on Christmas Eve. It was the first year without our great grandparents, and Grandma wanted the entire family to stay at their old home […]
On Monday I revealed how Asa and I may have taken advantage of Mom’s good nature while Dad was away last week. Our brother, angel Lemmy, had a much different reaction back in his day. All Lemmy wanted in life was to have his routine, for things to stay as is right down to the […]
Five years ago today, Grandma lost her best friend and husband for 51 years; Mom and our Uncle lost their biggest cheerleader and confidante; and Asa and I lost the BEST Grandpa a dog could ever wish for. Mom still remembers that sad and stormy October night, as they drove home from the hospice for […]
Yesterday I shared with you how my brother, angel Lemmy, failed at getting a summer job. However, my friend Monte was quick to remind me that Lemmy did have a successful career as a model. Lemmy had the honor of being in not one but three juried art shows. Alright, so I probably should give […]
In honor of Labor Day Weekend, I thought I’d share with you this email my big brother Lemmy wrote to his biological Mom, Butter, back on Labor Day in 2011. Apparently his attempt at getting a summer job didn’t go so well. But he was only 5 years old at the time…not to mention a […]
Seven years ago, on April 18, 2014, our brother, Lemmy, crossed Rainbow Bridge, at the age of 7 years old. Before he joined our family, Mom and Dad spent 7 years planning for Lemmy. So today we are reflecting on 7 years of preparation, 7 years of love, and 7 years of reflection. Longtime Coming: […]
