Losing Ground

  I don’t like to admit it, but I am slowly failing. I know it, Mom knows it, but we don’t talk about it. Remember I barked a few months ago that my cogs aren’t working right? I mean, I…

Bombs Away

I am so embarrassed. It is happening more often and I can’t seem to help myself. Everybody knows I have the walking poops. My back and legs are so stiff that I can’t squat to poop like the other dogs.…
