    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I learned a new lesson this weekend. Yeah I’ve learned A LOT of lessons over the years. If I keep up my current pace….I could be the smartest Beagle EVER! Right up there with my hero: Snoopy! He’s the best! My Auntie Kat and Uncle Josh came over…

    Raising Grampy – Chapter Two

    Hi everybody! Liam here, just hanging out with Grampy. Well we’ve made it through our first week and I’ve realized….I got my work cut out for me with this guy. Don’t get me wrong, he’s doing a good job. I have him trained already: I act a little fussy and he gets right on it.…

    I've Said It Before…..

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t know how they do it. My daughter-in-law, Marla, had to report to the U.S.S Eisenhower Thursday night. The crew had to report Thursday by midnight and then they shipped out Friday morning. I saw Marla Thursday evening before she had to report. She came…

    Woof Wednesday-Oops!

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Guess what? I think Grammy fired Grampy! Really! He’s not here! Anywhere! I told ya he was a Clutz! Actually I guess he went down to Virginia Beach to help with the baby thing. I’m sorry. Grammy says he has a name and I should use it. “Liam”…

    Hi everybody! My name is Liam and I’m — uh — I don’t know how old I am because I can’t count yet. I can’t even get my fingers to do what I want. I keep poking myself. Gotta work on that. I live in Virginia Beach with my mommy and daddy. They’re names are…

    I come to you from Virginia Beach today, not from another vacation trip to see my grandson though he is a big part of this story. After my daughter and son-in-law found out they were expecting, they began thinking of Sarah’s return to work. Her company offered four months maternity leave so they realized they…

    Hi guys! It’s me….Oscar the Beagle. I got in trouble the other day. Yeah. In my own defense (It seems I say that a lot), I thought that anything within my reach was fair game. Grammy was cleaning out the refrigerator the other day, something I’ve offered to do for her several times. She took…

    A January To-Do List

    I think I’ve mentioned before how I am a list-maker. Always have been. And since I had my stroke, I’ve found it’s even more helpful since I tend to forget some things, plus, it’s a great sense of accomplishment when you can check something off. “Yes! I did that!” I came across a list the…

    Woof Wednesday

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle and I guess I’m supposed to say “Happy New Year!” It’s a new year, though nobody told me what was wrong with the old one. I’m still in my same house, with the same bowl and the same food. I don’t see what’s new but all the humans…

    I read a great post on Instagram last night. “If you want 2020 to be your year: Don’t sit on the couch and wait for it. Go out. Make a change. Smile more. Be excited. Do new things. Throw away what you’ve been cluttering. Unfollow negative people on social media. Go to bed early. Wake…
