Turn Here for Wedding

I just got back from two weeks in Florida visiting my parents.  In the past ten years, I’ve done the round-trip voyage of 1,800 miles about 30 times.  That’s approximately 28,500 miles + about 60 nights in a hotel + countless fragrant dog farts floated from the back seat. I used to really enjoy a … Continue reading →

Keeping an eye on things

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY CAMERA CRITTERS Continue reading →

I want to share something that I learned recently; or “Please don’t press that button.”

When driving in the car with your two dogs in the back seat of your vehicle, make sure that you know where the baby/puppy proof anti-window open/close up/down button for the backseat windows is otherwise, you will be driving down I-95 at 6:00 a.m. and all of a sudden a window in the backseat will open … Continue reading →

Clover Likes To Carry Stuff

Clover likes to carry things.  She has a preference for stuffed animals, but will grab anything nearby so as not to answer the front door empty-mouthed.  She will run around the house like a nut-job looking for something to bring to the front door.  Its really pretty funny when she barks with a mouth-full of … Continue reading →

I’m Back … I Think I’ll Sue Someone

I spent the last two weeks in Florida visiting the Old Folks.  It was very hot and very humid.  I didn’t do much of anything except run back and forth to the doctor the first week (nothing fatal, just routine), and the second week? Nothing much that week either. Clover and Cosmo are readjusting to … Continue reading →

Something is afoot!

Clover here. Just thought I would pop in and let you know that something is afoot! Your woman is in the midst of packing a suitcase, gathering our toys, and at the moment she is doing laundry. Laundry! On a Tuesday! I tell you, something is going on. Cosmo here. Woohoo! I’m pretty sure that … Continue reading →

Stuff Dogs Like – Sleeping on the Bed!

When Clover first came to live with me almost eight years ago, she had a nice comfy bed of her own.  Yeah, well.  That didn’t last very long.  As soon as she was big enough to jump on the bed, that’s where she ended up.  Stretched across the end of the bed with her head … Continue reading →

A Dork No More! Watch Out Michael Phelps, Cosmo Can Swim!

I never thought it would happen.  Cosmo swam.  In the lake.  Without the life preserver.  Almost drowned Clover by pushing her under, but in the end it all worked out.  Of course, the Dork only figured out that swimming is fun on the last day of our vacation! I finally figured out what Cosmo’s problems … Continue reading →

Tail Splitting Vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Clover here.  A quick update.  We made it.  The drive wasn’t too bad, your woman stopped a couple of times to let us out and walk around and use the facilities.  Cosmo was a real pain and he wouldn’t let me stretch out in the back seat, so I sat up most of the way.  … Continue reading →

Woohoo! Road Trip! Don’t forget the Dork!

Clover here: Just thought I would let you know that something is afoot around here and I haven’t been able to quite figure it all out.  Your Woman has been very busy! She’s was looking in the closet for something, and has been collecting up our toys and other things.  She was mumbling about having … Continue reading →

Stuff Dogs Like – Rides in the Car!

I don’t think I have ever met a dog that didn’t like taking a ride in a car. Even the ones that get car sick still like to jump into the back seat and go cruising. Let’s go! Wanna go for a ride in the car? These phrases have the ability to make my dogs … Continue reading →

Road Trip by Clover the Black Lab

We were hauled out of our nice warm beds Sunday morning before the sun came up. It was cold and rainy and I really wanted to go back to bed. The person left us in the back yard while she put a bunch of stuff in the truck. When she was done loading everything, she … Continue reading →

Some People Should Not Have Pets

I read this article by Ellen Knickmeyer in the Washington Post when it was first printed on December 26, 2007. Its still on my mind, and it still annoys me. I reiterate – some people should not have pets. Here is a link if you would like to read about Wiley’s adventures from Senegal to … Continue reading →

Dog Can Scare Me

I’ve made about 15 road trips to Florida over the last 5 years first with Clover, and more recently with Clover and Cosmo, happily ensconced in the back seat for almost 1,000 miles. Clover is a great traveler. She enjoys the car, does not get car sick, and she understands the concept of short pit … Continue reading →
