Dogs And Pictures

Recently we were walking and it was freezing, as per the frozen puddle of water shows, so we decided to take a picture of it. A picture of the frozen puddle of water, in case you think that I was talking about a dog. Anyway, Zoe decided that she wanted to be part of the…

Mischievous Dog, Charlie, Part 2

It’s been snowing since yesterday here in Annapolis, MD and so the kids are napping while I write this post. Anyway, let’s see how Charlie is doing since my last post. He’s walking better than a week ago.  He sits down once he realizes that that is what I want without having to say anything at…

My Love Affair With All My Canine Companions
