A Good Night’s Sleep
Something incredible happened this week! I think it was Tuesday night when I went to bed in my home-away-from-home here in Virginia Beach at my son Doug’s house. I SLEPT ALL NIGHT! Now I know that I’m down here taking care of my grandson and we get excited whenever a baby sleeps all night, but…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. What a crazy day we had the other day with the wind! It’s been a pretty quiet winter without much snow, which is okay with me. You don’t know how much snow really sucks (sorry), stinks, until you get it stuck in the pads of your feet. I…

Raising Grampy- Chapter 5
Hi everyone! It’s Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. It’s been another busy week for us. We have so much fun! I think that’s why he sleeps late on weekends. On Monday Grampy decided we would have fun by baking his famous chocolate chip banana bread. Well he SAID it was famous. I’ve never had…

Woof Wednesday
I’m just saying, can’t a guy get some privacy? Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Grammy has been standing outside at night watching me pee! Yeah! It’s embarrassing! No there’s nothing wrong with my bladder, she says there have been coyote sightings in the neighborhood and she wants to make sure that doesn’t happen…

Raising Grampy- Chapter 3
Hi everyone! Liam here, hanging out with Grampy. I know I live down south here in Virginia Beach and everyone tells Grampy he’s smart to get out of New England for the winter, but we still have some chilly days here. Last week it was down in the 30s and when the temperature is down…

Just Go! You Might Like It!
Sometimes you just gotta get dressed and go! Last Saturday my son, Doug, told me that he had two tickets to the “Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots Show” down here in Virginia Beach. He thought I would enjoy it. That night. 7:00pm. My first thought was, “Yeah, he’s funny. I’d like that.” My next…
