I Still Miss Them
It just hit me out of the blue this week: I miss my boys. I still miss them. As some of you may know, we lost our Beagle and Golden Retriever not too long ago. The whole family went through the grieving process in our own way but I’ve since found out, we’re pretty much…

I Survived Being Unplugged
Yes, the Sunday Column is coming to you on Monday. I couldn’t use my iPad yesterday. I survived being unplugged! This week on the show (“The Pete Braley Show,” weekdays at 8 a.m. or anytime on YouTube), I asked my son and co-host Matt if he thought I could go a weekend being unplugged. Without…

Those Teeth Are Sharp! Charlie Chat
Hello humans! It’s me, Charlie, and I have to tell you I’m really frustrated. Dad keeps saying this word a lot— what is it ? Oh yeah! “No!” He acts like I’m supposed to know what this means. It happens mostly at night when we’re getting ready for bed. He wants to pet me but…

Only Took 60 Years
Only Took 60 Years by Pete Braley I’m turning 60 tomorrow and I’ll admit it, it has been on my mind for a few weeks. I think anyone who tells you they don’t think about it is just lying. I can remember a time back in my childhood when I thought thirty was wicked old.…

One More Step Towards Normal
This week, after more than a year, I went to the library! Oh how I missed it. I’ve always loved going to the library. Of course, the fact that we have one of the most beautiful libraries in the country is probably one reason. I wrote a blog when I first went down to Virginia…

Why Do I Have So Many Hats?
This week’s pondering: “Why do I have so many hats?” I found myself wondering about that on my own. Usually it’s something I only think about when Priscilla is straightening up the house and says, “Hey buddy! You gotta do something about all your hats!” She didn’t say anything this week, I did it on…

Charlie Chat – Vacation Fun
Hello peoples! It’s me, Charlie, enjoying my time back at the house. We had a great, ah, vacation. Yeah that’s what you call it. We got in the car and drove forever last week to come home. Mom walked me at every rest area but I really didn’t go much until we got home. Yay!…

Better to Fly or Drive?
We just got back from another trip to Virginia Beach……10-plus hours in the car. Again! You’d think by now I would be used to this but I’m not. I’ve done this trip both ways: drive and fly. I have to say my choice would be to fly. We can’t always do it because of the…

Charlie Chats About Vacation
Hello my peoples! It’s me, Charlie, coming to you from my new home I guess. It all started a couple of days ago. Mommy woke me up when it was still dark outside. I guess she forgot that we sleep until it’s light outside. Anyway, we got in the car with dad and Matt and…
