    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. We’re back to this again and I guess it’s gonna stay that way for awhile. By “this” I mean Grampy playing daycare down in that Virginia place. It was nice having him around for almost a week but then he went back. Grammy takes care of us unless…

    Hi everyone! It’s Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. Grampy came back! And he even brought Grammy for a few days! When last we met (Grampy tells me all the good shows use that line), Aunty Kat and Uncle Matt were coming down on their Spring Break to play with me and giving Grampy the…

    So….Uh….I Did A Thing

    Stand by….shameless self-promotion here. It’s something I’ve been saying for years: “I should write a book about it.” Well I did. When I was writing my column for the Standard Times I had several readers, especially after I had my stroke, suggest that I write a book about dealing with the rehab and the ups…

    Grampy came home! Then he left! Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Yeah the big guy came home for a few days and it was great to see him. He didn’t look a day older than — ah —- however old he really is. And he’s old! Wouldn’t ya know it? He wasn’t home…

    It’s Good To Be Back Home

    I took a vacation and came home yesterday. Kat and Matt are on Spring Break and they went down to Virginia Beach to see their sibs and their nephew. They also said they’d take care of Liam for me so that I could come home for the first time in two months. It’s good to…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I had to go to the stupid Vet again! I know, I should be nice and Grammy says he’s a nice man but I just don’t like the poking and the SHOTS! I guess it was time for my annual checkup. I would have been fine if we…

    Too Much Noise!

    I sat down to write this morning and discovered that there is just so much going on. How can I choose “one” thing? Then I noticed that the reason I couldn’t come up with one topic is maybe because there’s too much noise. I don’t mean that literally, I’m actually in a very quiet home…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle, just doing my part to help this family. We believe that everyone should pull their own weight. Grammy works on the ambulance thing and keeps this house shipshape. Grampy does whatever he does. Oh yeah. Take care of Baby Liam and whenever he’s home he cooks and drops…

    Hi everyone! Liam here, just hanging out with Grampy. Guess where we went the other day? My mommy’s favorite place in the world! No, not Disney World. I can’t go there until I’m bigger. I guess it’s her SECOND favorite place in the world. TARGET! She goes there all the time. This time Grampy had…
