Five years ago on this date, at approximately 9:00 PM, our Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge. His courageous battle against Cushing’s Disease was over. We were blessed to be able to spend one final week with Lemmy. Mom and Dad both worked outside of the home back then. Where Mom worked, that week was the busiest […]
Seven years ago on this date I joined my family and changed their lives for the better! Oh sure Lemmy was happy living with just Mom and Dad, but he didn’t know what he was missing. Luckily for them, I was a precocious puppy; clever, mature, and ready to lead them on an even grander […]
This week we shared with you Chuck Billy’s secret romance, and Asa’s goofy attempt at finding love. So we thought we’d round out the week with Lemmy’s tale of unrequited love. Lemmy was only a few months old when he fell head over paws for Cora, the teacher’s pet at puppy kindergarten. Mom can’t remember […]
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 […]
As everyone knows, my motto is “Fetch is Life!” Now most may assume I learned how to play the best game ever from my big brother, Lemmy. However that is far from the truth. You see Lemmy took a different approach and enjoyed playing “Har, Har, I have the Ball and You Don’t.” Those rules […]
Yesterday would have been Lemmy’s 12th birthday. I was just a puppy, barely 2 years old, when my big brother Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge at the tender age of 7 years old. But boy did my quirky brother leave a lasting impression! Sadly, Asa never got to meet him. Therefore, today I’d like to share […]
Did you know earlier this week was Cow Appreciation Day? I’m way overdue in letting the Cows, who lived on our street, know how much I appreciated them. So late, in fact, they’ve left the neighborhood months ago! I truly do miss them. They were a huge part of our routine, and yet like most […]
My neighborhood patrol job is inherently dangerous. In my six years of performing my duties day in and day out, I’ve seen a lot. I’ve saved a dog from getting hit by a car, I’ve been stalked by coyotes along the wood line, I’ve been stared down by a bull, and I’ve even had to […]
Four years ago today my brother Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge. However rather than have a droopy tail, I’m going to share a memory that always makes Mom and Dad laugh. It also makes me smile, because it is a reminder that no matter how wonderful Lemmy was, he wasn’t perfect. Lemmy loved the beach. Nothing […]
Yesterday this memory of a conversation with Mom’s Great Aunt appeared on my timeline. It reminded me that this recent string of snowstorms may actually be a blessing in disguise. Great Aunt Dottie is the wise matriarch of our family, and even I, brilliant dog that I am, can learn from her. She no longer […]
