If you can start the day without caffeine, If you can get going without pep pills, If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, If you can understand [...]

What do you get with a herd of sheep, some LED lights, a few highly trained sheepdog and some rather imaginative Welsh shepherds? You won’t believe your eyes! Really. You won’t. (Make sure you stay for the fireworks.) “We took to the hills of Wales armed to the teeth with sheep, LEDs and a camera, [...]

Nancy Freedman-Smith a CPDT trainer at GoodDogz tagged me. (If you live in Maine and need help with your dog, look her up. She’s wonderful.)

On a recent, rather hot evening, Cait and I were waiting in the air-conditioned car while Andrew volunteered to get everyone ice cream cones. We’d all just finished hitting a bucket of golf balls at the driving range. Andrew, interested in getting Cait good enough at golf to become a golfing buddy, had been trying [...]

For the last few years, whenever Cait’s been in the car with me, I’ve looked for opportunities to teach her about safe driving. I figure if I can slide in little tips and warnings over time, they’ll stick better and become automatic for her when she’s driving. It’s my chance to start her driver’s education [...]

At dinner, Kiera lies by my chair while we eat. She likes to monitor my eating, as she knows she gets my leftovers when I’m done. If I take too long, she starts “talking” to tell me to hurry up. Andrew finally gets annoyed and wants me to discipline her to get her to stop [...]

Do you see that? I see that. Do you see that? I see that! Hey Finn, ya wanna look? Nah, I’m busy. You guys take care of it.

“Mom, why do my eyes squint when I eat something sour?” “It’s because of a pucker reflex.” “Do you want some (Sour Skittles)?” “No thanks, I don’t really like candy.” “Mom, you’re not very kid-like.” “I wasn’t very kid-like when I was a kid.” “I’m a little kid-like, and a little not.” “Yeah.” “The kids [...]

It is both brilliant and amiable, especially in the slow movement; a clear second theme contrasts with the first theme and a brief closing theme, and is so completely easy to understand that even the commoners looked on with appreciation…

I know. What am I doing including an article on Bull Terriers? I thought you could use a good chuckle. That and a good friend of mine breeds them. Try substituting your breed’s name and see how much of it would apply to your beloved–unless, of course, you have one of the smaller, delicate breeds. [...]

My daughter is doing a jig, jumping on her bed in her pajamas, and singing, You know you want to… Uh huh, uh huh. Her arms are flailing around up over her head as if raised in a Hallelujah chorus. I’m laughing so hard, I momentarily forget how tired I am. Cait wants me to [...]
