We’re all adults here. I’m not sure why Dad and Mr. Skunk had to raise a big stink. Sure it happened fast. Everyone was caught off guard. But neither Dad nor Mr. Skunk handled it very well. He was headed out for a night of carousing. Mr. Skunk that is, not Dad. Dad was just […]
It all happened so quickly. I could barely believe my eye. It was everything Angel Chuck Billy dreamed about. What any dog dreams about really. Yet as soon as I comprehended what was happening, it was stopped! I was almost served not just two breakfasts, but two breakfasts at the same time! This morning began […]
When you’ve been renting dog friendly vacation places for as long as my family has, you get use to reading the fine print. A place may say it is dog friendly, but take for example the cottage that specifically banned Golden Retrievers because we shed. Or the inns that have weight restrictions that are so […]
Years ago my dear friend Angel Sheba gave me the nickname of “Agreeable Asa.” It was because I always just go with the flow, without making any fuss. Although recently this go with the flow attitude meant I had to ignore my own flow. Yesterday Mom had a migraine. So rather than her get up […]
The ruler of our little kingdom, Dad, has proclaimed he has food poisoning, and gave the royal decree that he will never eat again! Mom thinks he just has the flu. But yesterday she didn’t see him eat those weird smelling leftovers that Dad found in the back of the refrigerator. As the Court Jester, […]
Gather round my friends, as I share this haunting poem about my Halloween plight that is truly a fright. Asa just ordered our Halloween costumes! Now whereas he enjoys dressing up and looking silly, I do not. Over the years I’ve had to endure being dressed up as a caterpillar, pumpkin, and even a pink […]
Mom and Dad, I’m sure you’re wondering why we called this meeting. Relax! This isn’t the usual talk where we reprimand you for serving dinner late. We can discuss that later. As you know today is National Take Your Dog to Work Day, which falls each year on the Friday after Father’s Day. However, as […]
Once again I put Asa in charge of picking out a Mother’s Day gift. However, based on the recommendations popping up in our social media timeline, I’m a little worried about what Asa has in mind. Take for example this vintage dress from the 1860s… Asa: Whoa! Don’t be so quick to judge! I found […]
Have I mentioned how much I love Daylight Saving Time? Not only do I get fed an hour early, having Mom sleep deprived can lead to delicious treats! Well almost, if in my excitement I didn’t ruin it. Let me explain. Mom was making her breakfast a little while ago, when she reached into the […]
It was a little past midnight. The wind was howling. The house was creaking. Mom was lying awake, as usual. As she listened to the roar outside, she thought she heard a rustling noise in the hallway.
