Some Advice: Don’t Fall Down
Let me set the scene: Last Sunday night. Outside. Alone. Dog is tangled. Go out with no cane. Lose balance. Yeah, not fun. Last week it was time for last call. Oscar the Beagle got his chain tangled around his leg so I went out to help him. I never thought anything of it. I’ve…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I don’t know why this happens but some days I feel good and some days I feel pretty lousy. I guess you humans can’t understand days like that but trust me, we Beagles do. I cough a lot and have trouble breathing sometimes. Grampy knew I wasn’t feeling…

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.…
