Happy Birthday to my Big Red Dog

If my Briggs had lived, he’d be 13 today. This is a photo a friend of mine took at Briggs’ first agility trial. He was about 2 years old here. The photo is framed and sits in my office. He was such a fine specimen of a dog. Dexter has big shoes to fill. Happy [...]


Bell of the Ball

Hello. My name is Mr. Tricky Woo. And I have to wear this goofy and irritating bear bell on my collar now. HAH! Take that, Wootie.

How to hypnotize a Jack Russell Terrier

Too bad it doesn’t work to stop the barking. We paid a visit to Hayward Lake today. It’s got some groovy scenery. But the beach was too small, and in terrible light, to get any really good photos. So sometimes, you have to rely on comic relief. Ruger was no help in this department, as [...]
