First Friday Beads

First Friday is always fun – except for when the streets are so hot you can fry an egg on them.  Today is really SO DAMN HOT with a mixture of heat and humidity, I had to do repeat visits to my favorite doggie stores just to soak up a little aire-conditioning. But I digress. …

Hair of the Dog (Bar)

Finally… a slogan that I can fully get behind. We should all take a few moments out of our busy day, every day, during every walkie, to stop and smell EVERYTHING.  This has always been my philosophy.  There is no better way to get to know your surroundings, who’s doing what (and where), than this.…

Gimme That Cookie

A boy has to do what a boy has to do. In the name of all that is holy (cookies), I interrupt this regularly-scheduled walkie to let you know mama that I need a cookie now. Oh come on – who are you kidding?  I know that you have cookies in those giant pockets of…
