Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. You would not believe this thing they got me for my bronchitis! I think I told you before that I have chronic bronchitis. Grammy and Grampy give me a new medicine twice a day. Grampy says if this keeps up I have to get a part time job…

Woof Wednesday
In my own defense (Yeah, it’s another one of those weeks), sometimes he puts mini muffins in there. Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Last weekend I got into Grampy’s backpack. He wasn’t happy. Grampy has a backpack that he takes to all the games where he’s the broadcaster guy, whatever that means. Maybe…

Getting Yourself Ready For Winter – Sunday Column
Yesterday we spent some time prepping the yard for winter. Priscilla emptied out her flower pots and washed them out before stowing them away and I dug up the remains of my garden and left the dirt to weather the winter. It was a beautiful day to work outside and we even had a chance…

Woof Wednesday
Victory was mine! Until they went on Amazon. Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Remember that new bowl they got me? Uncle Matt bought me this stupid thing because they all said I ate my food too fast. This thing made me eat slower because I had to keep walking around the stupid thing…

It’s a Pretty Nice Place
I realized the other day that I love my city. I love my town. I love this area. I was driving home from St. Luke’s Hospital. Everyone’s fine. I volunteer there once a week. I’m going through a lot of their old pictures from the past and I’m seeing some faces that I recognize and…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I’m getting ready to take a nap. Again. It’s what I do when I’m not eating. I heard there’s going to be another storm so Baxter and I just usually sleep. The day usually starts with Grampy getting up real slow. Even slower than his usual slow. That’s…

What If God Calls?
The minister asked us this morning, “What will you do when God calls?” That got me thinking. How will he call? And, will we answer the call? If you think back to Jesus, he came on the scene the way people did things back then: going from town to town to spread the news. It’s…

And Suddenly…It is Autumn!
I swear this happens every year: The calendar says “Autumn” but we’re still wearing short sleeves, no jacket and maybe even sneaking in a beach day. And then…. The leaves start to change, then fall, and I’m walking by the beach in a hoodie pulled up over my ears. And there’s usually a Nor’easter involved.…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle! I gotta admit it….I kinda like this weather. It’s not too hot and it’s not too cold. We already have leaves on the ground so there’s all kinds of things to smell. I sneeze a lot though. Grammy says it’s the wet leaves after it rains. This happens…

Sometimes Everything is Okay
I was sitting here today trying to think of what to write about. What’s on my mind? What am I angry about? What concerns me right now? Then I realized: Everything is okay. I think sometimes we need to stop and recognize when every thing is okay. Is it “okay” or “ok?” Google? “Okay and…
