I have a bone to pick with Mom and Dad. Now that the new year is here (and I know it’s a new year because my ears are sensitive to the pops and horns) I think it’s time to indulge me, the Top Dog, with some new and exciting stuff. Take for example my food….
I like routine. When we first get up in the mornings, Mom puts on her walking shoes, grabs three plastic bags, pokes her watch, loops on my leash, and off we go into the big wide world. It’s the same thing every morning. When we get back, Dad feeds me breakfast. Sometimes when Mom leaves…
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…
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…
When I was just a pup I remember playing with my two brothers in a place where there were lots of dogs waiting to be adopted. The three of us were pretty rambunctious and earned the names Curly, Moe, and Larry. I’m not sure what those names mean, but when our story is told, people…
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…
Not only did Larry publish a book, Larry’s Words of Wisdom, he now writes articles for the Neighbors of Sun City West magazine. Well, he’s written one article so far, and it’s going to be published in November 2024. I thought you’d like to read what he has to say: Hi! I’m Larry. I have…
