When One Door Closes
This past Friday my son, Matt, and I did the final episode of our podcast. I guess I shouldn’t say “final” because you never know. We started the show two years ago, June 1, 2021. The show was actually Matt’s idea. I had been in Virginia Beach providing daycare for my grandson Liam. If you…

Charlie’s First Christmas
Yes it’s Charlie’s first Christmas and so far so good. In case you don’t know, Charlie is our puppy that we got in May. He is a Schnoodle, which is a mix between a Schnauzer and a poodle. (I still love saying Schnoodle. It’s such a fun word.) Charlie is now 9-months old. I had…

I Still Miss Them
It just hit me out of the blue this week: I miss my boys. I still miss them. As some of you may know, we lost our Beagle and Golden Retriever not too long ago. The whole family went through the grieving process in our own way but I’ve since found out, we’re pretty much…

“Charlie Chat” – Going to the Vet

Hello peoples! What a week here with my mom, dad and my best buddy Matt. This week mom put me in her truck. This usually means going for a ride while she does errands like going to stores or picking up some stuff. I usually sit on dad’s lap but this time he didn’t come.…

I’ll Miss You Friend
I’m flooded with memories today. Memories of my wonderful friend Baxter. We had to let Baxter go last night. He was sick. He was not eating. He couldn’t walk at the end and we knew he wouldn’t want to live like this. Priscilla and Matthew said goodbye for all of us as we’re all miles…

How’s Baxter? A Canine Update
My wife, Priscilla, was out for a walk the other day when a neighbor stopped her to chat. We live in a neighborhood that’s like that, think “Happy Days” or “Leave It To Beaver.” Everybody looks out for everybody and we talk in the street when we’re out. It’s always funny in the spring: we…

Why Do We Do It To Ourselves?
I know I know—- there have been two other columns about my dog but this one’s from me. Wait a minute…….. As you may or may not know, our Beagle, Oscar, died last week. He had been sick so it was a blessing. Knowing that though doesn’t make it any easier. Why do we do…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I’ve been thinking about making a career change. I know, I make this look good and I’m truly accelerating at what I do but I was thinking about switching it up. I’ve been hanging out in Uncle Matt’s room (even when the are no snacks), and I’ve been…
