Smile

If you smile too infrequently, don’t blame me. Just tap the arrow.  

Enough is enough

We gave up our Broncos season tickets last year. It wasn’t the new coach or the disarray at quarterback. Nope…there comes a time when inebriated exhibitionists take the fun out of the game.

Fear

There are times when pets have a keen sense of their owner’s driving capabilities.

Fear factor

February 13, 2018

Well, The TaTa’s leave for Cabo soon. They have assured us every year that it is a ladies only excursion but a  picture recently discovered in my sock drawer is very alarming.  

Separation Anxiety

January 19, 2018

  It’s about a fifty/fifty chance that … for the first day or so, dogs who come to stay with with us will experience some degree of PTSD. The condition manifests itself in any number of ways. It just requires patience knowing that ‘this too shall  pass.’ Maybe it’s Pets Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Too funny

January 10, 2018

They do not make em like they used to. Want proof…just have a look and, if you’ve seen anything funnier in the last twenty years, let me know. https://youtu.be/8NPzLBSBzPI        

Unsafe

December 3, 2017

We learned a good lesson this evening. Wise is the person who checks their pantry items now and then. My wife pulled a can of chicken gravy out and luckily read the label. ‘Use by June of 2009.’ Well, ok then…guess we’ll go out for pizza instead.

Oh Dave!

The very kind gentleman just tooted. He always gets such a kick from seeing people’s reaction.

No way

To each his own. I’m just saying that you can dress up brussel sprouts any way you’d like but I would just as soon eat worms than these nasty things.

Bargain time

November 25, 2017

Against my better judgement, I decided to accompany my wife on another Black Friday shopping bonanza. It’s always entertaining. We found some great bargains, occasionally polite shoppers, and very creative dressers.

Friendly competition

November 23, 2017

The game of tug of war has long been a fun competition for our furry friends. Yes indeed. But, as Casey and Stella prove, it is much more messy than the human version.

We agreed to try it just once. Having grown very comfortable looking after dogs, we said ‘sure,’ when Ellen called to ask if we could care for her cat for three days. I guess that’s how you learn. The fact that she brought enough food to feed two Labrador retrievers for a week should have […]

Yuck

November 22, 2017

‘Nana, I’ve told you that broccoli should have been named ‘yuckoli. I mean really…remember when I slipped some under the table and Maui ran away and hid in the closet? I’ll just stick with chicken and macaroni, thank you.’ Love, Hazel

Be aware

Many friends have commented that the computer hacking this year makes it feel that our personal lives are constantly under surveillance. Just keep an eye out because they might be right.

Grin and bear it

November 9, 2017

My brother was taken aback when he saw the pain I endured at the hands of Dr. Gander. A double root canal is surely an ordeal. I was fifteen and racing for a short fly ball when Frank ‘The Tank’ Thompson called ‘mine’ and we collided head on. I immediately knew what raccoons feel like […]

Good Samaritans

November 9, 2017

A very young cowboy went casting yesterday. Some people would say fishing but I figure when you fail to get a ‘fish on’ in seven and a half hours, it’s merely casting. Oh sure, I had five near misses where sizable trout hit my fly but failed to get connected. It’s as if they’re toying […]

Trick or treat

November 9, 2017

No wonder Halloween is my good friend Tom’s favorite holiday.

Levity

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose. Woody Allen

Put em up

November 7, 2017

‘Float like a butterfly…sting like a bee…you sure that you wanna mess with me?’

Piece of cake

November 7, 2017

‘I got this…done it a thousand times, so you can just put that camera back in its case.’
