This has been a sad week for us. The woman we all hoped would live forever passed away at the age of 98. Mom’s Great Aunt Dottie was a quiet reassuring presence in our lives. Always supportive, but also asking the important questions, Great Aunt Dottie’s gentle, witty guidance will be deeply missed. Today I would […]
My Gotcha Day Anniversary reminiscing continues! For the past few years I’ve shared with you all the great Dog Friendly Places that Asa and I visit. Then yesterday Dad asked, “what was Chuck Billy’s first big adventure?” Mom searched our photo archives. Was it a beach? Or a trail? It was both! My first big […]
Six years ago on this date, I spent my last day in the whelping box with my siblings, before setting out on my grand adventure! I’m feeling rather nostalgic, so I thought I’d take out my old puppy photos and reminisce about my early days. I was one of 9 siblings, 5 boys and 4 […]
This week Asa and I competed in the ice dancing competition at the Dog Winter Olympics. Ice dancing is more than just gliding on the ice, it is as ethereal as ballet, with two bodies moving as one. There are no lifts above the head, no heroic jumps, just pure self-expression as we glide across […]
The Dog Winter Olympics are finally here! Today Asa and Chuck Billy will be competing in the dog-cathlon! Yes, the decathlon is normally considered to be a Summer Olympics sport. However at the Dog Olympics, we like to make these track and field sports more difficult by showing off the athletes’ running and jumping skills […]
I interrupt the hiking review scheduled for today with an exciting announcement – It’s MY Birthday! Six years ago today I made my grand entrance into the world! Originally known as “Little Man” by my litter mates, I remember my whelping box days vividly. Ok, well maybe not vividly, it was a couple of weeks […]
Three years ago today my world changed for the better. My little brother Asa joined our family! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that little ball of fluff would grow into my best friend and that we’d go on so many wonderful tail wagging adventures together. Thank you Asa for being my brother! […]
Asa and I have reached an important milestone! Mom is trusting us with our very own, fully decorated, Christmas tree! It only took me 5 long years to achieve this goal. No thanks to Lemmy, who sabotaged my first Christmas by decorating a tree with tennis balls! But after years of enjoying the Christmas tree […]
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. […]
The pages of history are filled with the names of great explorers who risked their lives on quests to discover the unknown corners of the world. Christopher Columbus, Leif Eriksson, Lewis and Clark, are just a few of the names that come to mind. But until now one explorer’s name has been glaringly absent from […]
