Big Mistake

This whole thing happened about three weeks ago, but I couldn’t bark about it until now. Ash says I have to fess up. He says it will help me think before I mess up next time. So here’s the background.…

Getting Older

I woke up cranky this morning. Frieda, the elderly golden retriever, was snoring next to the couch where I sleep. I don’t like snoring. Jack got mom up at 5am. Ash grabbed a sock. Frieda grabbed a toy. Frieda always…
