Rocking the Red Carpet

Look out world, HERE I COME I have never met a red carpet I didn’t like.  Doesn’t matter if there is something going on or if there is nothing going on.  I’m gonna work that carpet like nobody’s business. Puparazzi?  Give ’em the shot they’re looking for. Go ahead, get those shots.  It is me. …

The First Real Day of Fall

Ah, the pleasures of autumn.  Wind lightly ruffling through the fuzz, humidity on the downward slide, just enough warmth to require a sweater, a full coat of airefuzz, or some brisk walking. When faced with a choice, a brisk walkie does it every time.  Today I chose both brisk-ness and distance, and took mama all…

2 Paws in the Fountain

Ah, the early morning Sunday walkie.  I must always insist that we go for a long one, as during the week mama has to go to that work place she spends way too much time at.  Long walkie + summertime temperatures = thirsty Dale. Yep, Philadelphia understands a dog’s needs for a little refreshment. I…

And I get much wetter now with the shorter Aire-do.  I don’t dislike it, but I definitely do notice the difference.  More full-body shaking is…

Baby’s First Hairecut

How does a boy get so scruffy?  It’s so darned hot here in Philadelphia, hotter and humid-er than anywhere else I’ve ever experienced.  I am not a happy boy.  The daily soakings before, during, and after the daily walkies just aren’t cutting it anymore.  I am a COOL DUDE, why don’t I feel cool? Oh…

(Can) Opening Ceremony

With the Olympic Opening Ceremonies happening RIGHT NOW, mama and I got inspired.  Partially because of mama’s recent laziness in making my chow, and partially with the Olympics on our minds, we went to the dog store and went international. Yep, I’ve got Bangers and Mash, French Country Cafe, Mediterranean Basket, and Brauts n Tots. …

Sleep Softly, Sweet Behemoth

 My furry little buddy has passed away.  Behemoth, how I will miss you. I know that you haven’t been well for awhile, and we did all that we could without going to invasive, painful extremes.  You put up with me shoving that syringe full of medicine down your throat twice a day when you weighed…
