Well it happened again. We got locked out of the house. This isn’t the first time this happened. Nor will it be the last. So of course while we waited for the door to open, Asa wrote a song parody about it. This time it is to Chumbawamba’s earworm, “Tubthumping.” Except for us the song […]
The eye specialist warned us that Asa’s personality may change after losing his eye. I did not realize that meant for the better. He’s finally helping me with my most important duty – reminding Mom it is dinnertime! In the past Asa was very irresponsible, and would leave the work all up to me, while […]
Humans are creatures of habit. Humans are also easily distracted. Combine the two, and things can get embarrassingly messy. Such was the case on a recent walk with Dad. Dad begins our daily morning walk by stuffing his pockets with poop bags. As we walk along, he tends to lose concentration on the task at […]
Sssshh! Can you keep a secret? Last week Dad was away for a few days, so we’ve been playing by Mom’s rules. They are kind of like Dad’s rules, but a lot better. Here are a few highlights, but remember just like the motto “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” let’s just keep this […]
Asa and I noticed that Mom and Dad’s batteries aren’t at 100% lately. Therefore we’ve decided that for the next 2 weeks we are going to unplug and help them recharge. Well that and apparently according to our Human Resources department, we owe them a vacation. They surprisingly put in a lot of work helping […]
Some people can look at a cloud and see bunny. Others have found Elvis on a piece of toast. Well you can’t begin to imagine my surprise when I looked at Dad’s breaded fish and clearly saw a dog looking back at me! This was my chance for fame and fortune! I can just imagine […]
In 1914 Robert Frost published the poem “Mending Wall,” about an age old ritual in the spring where neighbors come together to repair the stone wall separating their properties. Recently we also had to repair our aging fence, which got me thinking about boundaries and why do we need this fence? Something about a human […]
After months of waiting I am sad to report Dad’s Mother’s Day gift for our Mom is a washout. He wanted to make a big splash by giving her what all women want as a gift, namely a pressure washer! And not just any pressure washer. One that came with special attachments to clean the […]
Mom needed to go out yesterday, and she left Dad “in-charge.” Well she should know Dad isn’t ready for such responsibilities. Thankfully though, Asa and I had everything under control. Asa even did a little extra cleaning while she was out. Sometime after she left I had an upset tummy. I know, my fault. I […]
Earlier this week I shared my harrowing tale of how I waited forever, or at least over 15 minutes, to eat a piece of kibble that Asa dropped on the floor. Something similar happened to my brother, angel Lemmy, years ago. However, unlike me who was trapped, he had a choice and almost starved due […]
