Guess what picture of a half Labrador/half Irish Setter ranks as the most popular picture of a half Labrador/half Irish Setter in all of the google kingdom? This one: It’s my dog, Hershey. If you don’t believe me about Hershey’s popularity, go to google images and type in “half Lab half Irish Setter” and see [...]

Do You Like My Party Hat?
Posted in Animal Farm, Life's Lessons, tagged birthday parties, dogs on February 11, 2010 | 11 Comments »
In theory, I’m aware that dogs are not people. I have yet to put clothes on my dogs, or have dog birthday parties. Okay, that was someone else’s birthday. A human person’s birthday. (I confess that I have been invited to a dog birthday party next week. And I am probably going. But I will [...]
And Puppy Makes Three
Posted in Animal Farm, tagged chaos, dogs, Guide Dogs for the Blind, labrador, puppies on November 10, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Any person of sound mind knows that if one looks up chaos in the dictionary, one would find the definition “the confused unorganized state existing when people, who already have two dogs, get another.” Yes, yes we did. But it’s not what you’re thinking. Unless you’re thinking that we got a third dog. Then it’s [...]
One More Thing That Makes You Fat
Posted in Animal Farm, What's for Dinner, tagged apples, dogs, flu on October 8, 2009 | 4 Comments »
If you are eating an apple a day in the hopes that it will keep the doctor away, I have bad news for you. My family has been eating lots of apples lately. More than one each a day. My kids like to dip their apples in peanut butter, and one week they ate so [...]
When Life Gives You Apples
Posted in Animal Farm, What's for Dinner, tagged applesauce, canning, dogs, humor, Irish Setter on October 5, 2009 | 6 Comments »
The month of October marks a couple of special anniversaries for our family. First of all, nine years ago this month we got our dog Hershey. And two years ago this month we got our other dog Graham Cracker. To commemorate these important occasions, we made applesauce–61 quarts and seven pints of it. I’m kidding. Just [...]
5 Reasons to Keep Blogging
Posted in Animal Farm, How (Not) To Do Stuff, Life's Lessons, Trials of Blogging, tagged apples, blogging, canning, college, dogs, humor, life, pets on September 30, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Anyone who blogs knows how hard it is to keep writing good content consistently. But take heart—there are reasons to keep on blogging. Well, at least five for me, anyway: 1.) So that my son, who is in college, has something to read during biology class. My son was “fortunate” enough to enroll in a [...]
Dogs Say the Funniest Things
Posted in Animal Farm, tagged dogs, humor, life, puppies on January 7, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Last night I told the kids to do something cute or say something funny so I could write a blog post about it. My request was met with blank stares and silence. Although I think someone sometime at dinner might have said, “pass the salt.” My 9 year old daughter did volunteer to let me [...]
Dogs Don’t Put Puzzles Together
Posted in Animal Farm, tagged animals, cats, dance, dogs, fish, humor, life, teenagers on December 10, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Last week my daughter’s goldfish died. Much weeping ensued, since she’d become attached to it in the day we’d had it. Not really. That one day was enough time for my 8 year old to realize what a worthless pet a goldfish is, something I’d been harping about since the Goldfish Debacle of ’01, when [...]
They Get Their Artistic Talent From Me
Posted in Animal Farm, tagged art, book report, college application, college scholarship on November 21, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The other night my 17 year old son spent a couple of hours looking online for college scholarships. Getting a scholarship is difficult. People are not willing to just give you $10,000–they want you to have accomplished something. They expect you to have leadership experience or good grades. Or, leadership experience and good grades. Then, [...]
