Then Suddenly….
Just like that —- we say, “What winter?” I was out for a walk yesterday when I noticed two things: It was nice and warm. Finally everything is green. I try to walk every day and it always seems to be breezy down on Sconticut Neck in Fairhaven. My wife and I have noticed that…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me…..Oscar the Beagle. I’m feeling much better. I guess I have to say something nice about the stupid Vet. I’m sorry…. the wonderful Vet. If you didn’t read it last week, (Grampy says this is a “reset.” Whatever. I guess the guy likes to feel important.) If you missed it, I had…

Sunday Column
In the blogging world we’re supposed to pay attention to “likes” and “shares” so I guess a recent Facebook/Twitter post is something I should write about. I follow a Facebook page called “Offside.” It’s run by a soccer official and he publicizes pictures, articles or video of people/parents acting foolish at their child’s games. He’s…

Hi guys! It’s me…..Oscar your sick little Beagle. I have pneumonia. (I checked with Grampy because I don’t know how to spell it. Why is there a “p”?) Yeah Grampy says I was coughing all night and then Grammy came home and used some ear thingies that she uses on the ambulance and said my…

Sunday Column
Sorry I’m a little late with the Sunday column. I’d like to blame it on the time change but I never left the east coast. Priscilla and I went down to Virginia Beach for five days or three if you take out the 10+ hours on the highway. (Why do we always hit traffic in…

Woof Wednesday : The Suitcases Are Out

Making Memories
I had the pleasure of hosting Opening Day for Fairhaven Acushnet Youth Baseball once again yesterday. I’ve done this for many years both before and after my stroke. There was that one year that I couldn’t do it but they have been inviting me back ever since. I like doing it for many reasons but…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me……Oscar the Beagle and guess what? I’m in the doghouse which is a stupid phrase to apply to me because it would be MY HOUSE! My cozy, comfy place. I know. It usually means a human is in the doghouse meaning he has to stay outside or sleep outside because he’s being…

Some Deep Thoughts on Spring
I find myself in deep thought as Spring develops around me. This year I’m really noticing and appreciating the flowers as they bloom and the grass as it wakes up from a winter of sleep. I’m really thinking about the newness and color after the darkness of winter and I find myself thinking about how…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me ….. Oscar the Beagle. Did you KNOW about this???? I was going through Grampy’s phone the other day, (Which is pretty impressive when you remember I have no thumbs) when I found this picture. Cookies for miles! And he says it’s like that every day! I could do some damage there!…
