Raising Grampy- Chapter 16
Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. It’s been another busy week. Grampy is doing fine but I’ve noticed he takes a lot of naps when he’s done taking care of me for the day. I wonder why? Last week it was my Uncle Dougie’s birthday. He got a great gift! I…

Triggering Memories
Have you ever had a totally random event trigger off a memory of a friend or loved one who has passed away? I mean a memory that is so sharp you can see it, feel it, hear it —- maybe even smell it or taste it? I’m not talking about the approach of the holidays…

Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I’ve been thinking about making a career change. I know, I make this look good and I’m truly accelerating at what I do but I was thinking about switching it up. I’ve been hanging out in Uncle Matt’s room (even when the are no snacks), and I’ve been…

Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. I have lots of toys but I really like his shoelaces. I don’t know what’s going on at my house but my mommy and daddy seem to be changing everything. They put these things on all the outlets. And this stuff is now all around…

When Will It All End?
Does it seem like you wake up to a new surprise every day? I noticed this week that the Homecoming Fair in Fairhaven was being canceled and then the Cape Verdean Recognition Day Parade was canceled. To both of these announcements I found myself saying, “Already?” I’m sure the organizers had many issues to consider…

Hi. It’s me, Oscar. You would not believe what she has done to me. What am I supposed to say, “O.M.G!” No, Grammy did not shave off all my fur because it’s falling out from this stupid medicine I need to breathe. I told you how Auntie Kat bought me a nice Red Sox Hoodie.…

Raising Grampy- Chapter 13
Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. I hope you had a nice Easter. We did. I don’t why my mommy put all this stuff around me. That’s my bunny Fred. He has a mask on. I don’t know why. Grammy and Grampy gave me Fred. I guess Grampy went shopping right…
