This is my graduation photo. I was just a little squirt back then and had passed my Obedience School Training with flying colors. My mom might tell you something different, though. It wasn’t my fault I wanted to meet all the other dogs in class. They made eye contact, so I had to give them…
I’m a pretty positive pup. I look at my water dish as being half full, even when Mom and Dad forget to fill it. There are always some slurps on the bottom I can lap up. Or I can always go to the super small room with the giant white water dish for a drink….
Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! How old am I, you ask? Let’s just say I’m a senior citizen. It’s about this time every year when Mom and Dad put a silly hat on my head, sing a silly song, and sit me in front of a toy that looks suspiciously like a…
I keep a close watch on my mom and dad. They can be quite elusive at times, so I make sure I follow them wherever they go. Take my mom for example. She does a lot of walking down the hall, into bedrooms, back to the kitchen, into the laundry room. It’s exhausting, but I…
Lately I’ve noticed something different when I go outside to do my zoomies. It’s getting warmer here in the desert. I like it. The sun warms my bones when I lay on the grass. I’ve also noticed some of our neighbors packing their cars and leaving. Where are they going and why? Do you suppose…
I’ve heard talk that April 1st is April Fools’ Day, but I don’t know what that means. My mom looked it up on the little TV she watches in her office (even though I try to distract her by dropping my ball in her lap or licking my lips for a snack). She told me…
I’m a lucky dog. I lick my lips and get a cookie. I show my puppy-dog eyes and get on the sofa. I toss a ball from my mouth, and it will be thrown for me to retrieve. I stare at my dad, and he’ll give me an after-dinner treat. In addition, I received a…
2025 marks my twelfth new year. New Year’s Eve is pretty much a non-event around my house. Dad goes to bed, and I sit with Mom on the sofa while we watch a shiny ball fall down a tower. I wonder what happens to it when it reaches the ground. I wish I could chase…
Do you smell that? It smells like the holidays. I have a pretty good sniffer, you know. I make sure I inspect every bush, tree, and rock on my walks with Mom. She tries to hurry me along, but I’m not having it. I want to see if I know anyone who’s been to the…
