Signs, poles and treesall make me go ‘sheesh;’those things can cause problemswhen humans are leashed. We go on a walk;I’m ahead; they’re in backbut basic leash management’ssomething they lack. You’d think it was simple.and I sure have tried,but when there’s a postthey will pick the wrong side. So I have to fix itand come back… Continue reading

I dislike rain falling on my neckbut after it’s done I like the effect.‘Specially when there’s piles of leaves,The sniffs are better! You wouldn’t believe.

This is a question that’s been on my mind:I have two sorts of treats, but my choice is which kind?There are some that are crunchy,and they’re really neat,but the others are chewy,and still good to eat. I have both kinds at homeand it’s kind of a gameto guess which I will get;’cause they’re just not… Continue reading

Every room inside my househas a comfy spot that’s mine.I use each one of them to loungeBut only one at a time. It’s a slightly vexing issue.Much like that thing with treats:I only have a single mouththat I can use to eat. Those birds are so much better’cause it only takes one woofand all of… Continue reading
