Josh, for some reason I admit I don't understand, was fascinated with the scale of this wall.

Doguments

Well Dad Slobbie is just so jealous of me that we are getting into verbal arguments. She just cannot stand when G_Mom pays attention to me. We all have our own time with G_Mom and mine is when we settled down on the couch. I am not allowed on the couch but I sit and [...]

Canine Remedial Listening Classes

Hi Dad,

G_Mom said I should tell you that I am attending canine remedial listening classes. I am not stupid and have a rather large canine vocabulary, however I have an excellent case of selective listening, which apparently is very frustrating to humans.

Fortunately I did not have any privileges taken away.  I am not [...]

Snowland

Hi Dad,

Thanks for the food and treats! Sorry I haven’t written. Just been really busy dealing with winter. Guess G_Mom told you we were all sick and just staying in bed for several days. Better now! I hurt my thigh doing Wii Yoga, so I had to behave for several days. It really fooled [...]

The Big Pinecone BUST

Dear Dad,

Is Maine not the Pine Tree State? So why am I in trouble for eating pinecones? Look Dad they are everywhere in my reach at G-Mom’s house. What the big deal?  They are free! The big deal is apparently that G_Mom has scented these Pinecones to make the house smell less dog like, [...]

Maine-cation resumes

Hi Dad,

Ellie here. Well I do miss you but I am having a great time. I had a blast last night with Harlow. G_Mom was on the phone with Kt and Harlow attacked me from under the coffee table…it was so much fun. I was barking at her and she was swatting me with [...]

I Got Broomed!

Hi Dad,

Ellie here.

Well most of my canine friends get groomed, but not me, I get BROOMED!

Not sure if this is a Maine cultural tradition but G_Mom sweeps me every day now and I love it. I have my very own broom. G_Mom even explained the difference between brooms to me. I cannot [...]

Dog Days and Earl’s Coming To Visit

Dad this weather is unbelievable. There is a heat advisory out and we are not allowed to leave the air-conditioned room except for bathroom and food breaks. Now I hear G-Mom talking about some guy named Earl coming to visit. It is way too hot to entertain. All of the shades and blinds are pulled [...]

Fan or Wood Stove…That’s Maine

Well Dad last night I got to lounge in front of the wood stove! Two days ago I was in front of my fan. A cold northeast wind blew in and even I have to admit it was chilly. Of course G_MOM had just plucked out my entire coat, so I was a lot lighter [...]

BYE JOSH and GOOD LUCK!

Dad,

Hope you are well. It has been so hot and humid here and G_Mom keeps us in the air conditioned bedroom, so I cannot get to the computer! However I figured out how to open the door and last night we got caught. G_Mom came home and we did not hear her….OH BOY…trouble in [...]

Life in Batty Maine

OK Dad, in less than one week I have endured tornadoes and a bat in the house. Is this really “the way life should be”?

This place is nuts! It took two policemen an hour to get the same bat out last night. We came in from being outside around 9 o’clock and Slobbie spotted [...]

Tornados Not Snow Hit Maine

Hi Dad,

Did you ever spend time in a bath tub with three dogs, and a cat? Not fun let me tell you…we were all scared…even me! Below is the headline from the Portland Press Herald.

Explosive thunderstorms that triggered tornados throughout southern    Maine knocked down trees and power lines, flooded streets and damaged   homes [...]

FAN……….tastic

Hi Dad,

Sorry I have not written but I have been busy with the girls catching up on the family gossip. Days just fly by….. G_Mom bought me my own box fan. She says anybody that has to wear a coat like mine in this heat and humidity deserves their own fan. Slobbie is really [...]

Hot Dog

Dad,

I am writing this blog from G_Mom’s air-conditioned bedroom. We are only allowed out of this room to pee/poop and eat. Eating time has been changed to 7:30 pm when it is cooler outside. Because G_Mom has to water the gardens, we are allowed to stay out for 20 minutes after eating. Also in [...]

My Maine Vet Visit

Phew! Have you ever gone to the vet’s office with three dogs? Yap! Yap! Apparently Dad, it was time for my March visit with the vet. I am in great health with a slight tumor under my right eye lid that needs to be monitored over the coming years to make sure it does not [...]

Blow’ In The Wind

Dad, have to make this quick…power goes on and off! We are also surrounded by flood water. This has been an unbelievable 24 hours. 60-70 miles an hour winds and things blowing everywhere and hitting the house. Don’t worry I protected everyone. G_Mom made us go out in the wind and rain to use the [...]
