We almost starved! We came dangerously close to not having breakfast! Dad got up really early today. I’m talking “Asa early.” Dad was up at 4:00 AM! He’s never up that early! Meanwhile he told Asa to be very quiet, so Mom could sleep-in. Dad knew it was going to be a long day for […]
The sun was shining. The birds were singing. It was the perfect day for an adventure! In a rare moment of spontaneity, Mom and Dad decided their to-do list of chores could wait, and loaded us into the car to go have some fun. However, when we arrived at our destination our adventure almost ended […]
A few friends were curious about all that dirt in yesterday’s post. Considering Dad’s success rate, or lack thereof, with previous projects, I can understand their concern. Rest assured the dirt is for planting. The soil is for new raised garden beds that Dad built, and to refresh dirt in an old garden he abandoned […]
Dad, how can you be so inconsiderate? Why are you denying Asa’s dream of becoming an archeologist? For years he has studied every episode of the British television series Time Team, to learn the proper digging technique. In fact, Asa is convinced that buried somewhere in our yard is a forgotten Roman villa complete with […]
While I continue to wait to hear back about my inquiry regrading using a trip to International Space Station as a tax write-off, I’ll share this discussion about taxes that is a lot closer to home. Did you know there was once an attempt to let humans get a tax deduction for their dogs? Take […]
I had a plan. I did everything right. Yet everything went wrong. In November when we changed the clocks to end Daylight Saving Time, Dad put new batteries in each of the smoke detectors, and Mom dusted and cleaned them. All in an effort to avoid that chirping noise they make when the batteries run […]
I dedicate this song to all the work from home office dogs, tired of being ignored! It’s time we rise up and have a little fun! Thanks to the boys from Motley Crue, here’s my parody of “Smokin’ in the Boys Room,” to get you through the day! Do you ever seem to have one […]
Dogs, today is Employee Appreciation Day. This is a great time to remind our staff the variety of benefits we give them each and every day in exchange for the privilege of taking care of us. Health Care: As our employees, the biggest benefit Asa and I offer to our Mom and Dad is unlimited health […]
We interrupt our regularly schedule post to share with you this 2016 video, “Dance of the Golden Wolves.” Would I have liked to share my original thoughts instead? Yes, very much so! But Mom rudely got distracted by a project this weekend and ignored me barking my thoughts for her to type. And despite taking […]
Charles Dickens once wrote, “When happiness shows up, always give it a comfortable seat.” A lovely sentiment, especially when guests are visiting during the Holidays. However, when Mr. Fezziwig gave this advice to a young Scrooge, I’m pretty sure he didn’t intend it to be a recommendation for a gift. Case in point, after watching […]
