    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…

This past February we made the difficult decision to put our beloved Golden Retriever, Baxter, down. “Let the grieving process take it’s course.”…

    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…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Pete, the voice of Oscar the Beagle. I have some news today and there’s no easy way to say it — Oscar passed away last night. I write it that way because he truly did “pass away.” He went to sleep and just didn’t wake up. The family broke the news…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Can we please go back to the way things were? To be honest, when Grammy and Uncle Matt first started staying home a lot…. it was nice. Baxter and I were never alone. There was always someone here to take care of us. Now, I just want them…

    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…

    Hi. It’s me, Oscar. You would not believe what she has done to me. What am I supposed to say, “O.M.G!” No, Grammy did not shave off all my fur because it’s falling out from this stupid medicine I need to breathe. I told you how Auntie Kat bought me a nice Red Sox Hoodie.…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I really can’t figure out what’s going on with the humans around here. I’ve seen so many of them walking by the house with masks on. I don’t think it’s Halloween because I don’t see any candy laying around. Trust me, I would know. Plus I noticed that…
