I have to admit I initially agreed with Grandma that Mom was way out of her comfort zone with her latest mission. Mom’s two cousins are each expecting babies, which has her very excited. To welcome these little ones, Mom wanted to buy them gifts. However, Grandma was a bit worried that Mom was out […]
I think we all could use a smile this morning. So I’m going to do something uncharacteristic of me. I’m letting Asa pick from the archives his favorite song parody to share with you today. It comes with little surprise that he chose a song he is often heard singing on our daily walks. Ok, […]
Recently a friend shared with me an article on K9 Artifacts Finders, whose mission is to train dogs to find looted artifacts in order to help customs officers stop the illegal smuggling of cultural property from archaeological sites, museums, libraries, archives, and other locations.

Well as you can see by the photo once again Asa is in the cone of shame. Don’t worry! He’s not injured. Asa just has a couple of hot spots that he won’t stop scratching. So to prevent further irritation, when Mom and Dad can’t keep an eye on him he has to wear the […]

Today is Patriots’ Day. A state holiday observed in Massachusetts and Maine, commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War, which took place on April 19, 1775. Throughout the day today in Lexington and Concord there will be reenactments of this epic battle. But for those of […]
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 […]
Winter, we’ve had a good run. But please don’t embarrass yourself, and overstay your welcome. Besides, I’m sure you have friends waiting for you in other parts of the world.
