Today would have been my big brother Lemmy’s 11th birthday. I’ve told Asa about the devoted bond Lemmy had with his Momma Butter emailing her for every holiday, how he was a bit of a curmudgeon when I first arrived home, and then there are the stories of how he played with Grandpa. However, today […]
One year ago, on October 21, our world changed forever. Our Grandpa’s brave battle with Alzheimer’s ended. There are times I forget he’s gone, and when visiting Grandma I will search their house looking for him. That is until I remember he’s not there. However, there have also been times in the past year when […]
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 […]
Leave it to Asa to accomplish something that Lemmy and I never did. Asa met his biological father, Daddy Spenser, at the New England Golden Jubilee. Now I’ve never had the pleasure to meet my father, Daddy Eclipse, face to face. However, I’m lucky that I can keep in touch with him through social media. […]
In honor of Mother’s Day I’d like to share an email my brother Lemmy sent his biological Mom, Butter. Lemmy was the ultimate “Momma’s Boy,” and would email his mother for every holiday…and I do mean every! Who emails his mother to wish her a Happy Groundhog’s Day?! However, Lemmy did teach me it is good […]
Three years ago, on April 18, we said goodbye to our beloved Lemmy. I’ve let you read his old emails and told some of his stories, but I realized I’ve never actually shared Lemmy’s personality quirks. Let’s face it, my big brother was a bit eccentric! So today, I’d like to better acquaint you with […]
Ok, so in Monday’s post I may not have given Lemmy the credit he deserves. It wasn’t until I started looking through his old puppy photos that I realized how utterly ridiculous Mom and Dad were as first time dog owners. No wonder Lemmy acted odd on my first day! My homecoming probably reminded him […]
Today is the anniversary of my Gotcha Day! It’s hard to believe it was only five years ago that I was hanging out in the whelping box with my brothers and sisters. Thankfully, we’re a tight knit group, and I still keep in touch with many of my siblings. Yep, those certainly were carefree days […]
Yesterday I overheard a conversation with Mom’s Great Aunt. 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 needs to worry about snowstorms from her new home. However after living on her own for many years, she revealed yesterday […]
Although Asa and I had a lot of tail wagging moments this year, 2016 was also very difficult for us. We said goodbye to too many dear friends and family members with four legs and two, who went ahead to the end of the trail. Too many to write a proper tribute to all of […]
