Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. So….guess what happened the other night? No, I did not win the Publisher’s Clearinghouse and get a year of free Milk Bones. No, Uncle Matt did not leave a full box of Cheez Its on the night stand with the lid open. No, it was not another life…

Sometimes I Wonder

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Guess what? I learned another life lesson this week. Yeah! That’s #743! Last week it was just me, Baxter and Uncle Matt. Grammy went down to Virginia Beach to see baby Liam and that old guy who used to live here. Now what was his name? Just joking!…

Raising Grampy – Chapter 4
Hi everyone. It’s Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. What a week we’ve had! It started out on Monday. I think it was Monday. I really don’t know my days yet. I just know that when a day comes it’s “today” and I just get busy with that. All I know is that we rescued…
