An Amazing Tribute to an Amazing Dog

This video and the attached text was posted on YouTube by dolphinDog.  I hope it touches you as it did me….. This is the true story of a dog who loves dolphins, a little fluffy loving dog who I named Grizzly. One day Grizzly and I found a little baby Sea Lion sick and near [...]

Kassie Speaks!

Woohoo! Mom asked me to write another article, so thought I’d tell you about our other trip. It was pretty amazing! I got to see a lot of really neat things! There also were some things that weren’t quite so fun, but I’m passed all that now [yeah, right!]

Anyway, let me tell you about it…

Today is Amelia Earhart Day

Courage never hesitates Amelia’s pet dog, James Ferocious was a constant childhood companion, smothered with affection by both her and her sister. James Ferocious, however, was not particularly friendly to strangers, so was kept tied to a shed. One afternoon, some neighborhood boys passed by the fence where James Ferocious was resting. As was his [...]

Chips Ahoy!

Chips entered my life in the wee hours of a brisk, October night. I was happily snoozing away, when I was suddenly awakened by the frightened howls and whimpers of puppies! Someone (in their infinite irresponsibility) had dumped four puppies in my driveway. The poor babies were scared to death and totally confused by their new environment. I rushed outside in my bare feet and pajamas to collect the four. It was no easy task in the dark. They were all over the place—under the car, under the steps and generally attempting to not be caught by this human they didn’t know. I brought them into the house and once they had formed a puppy pile, they settled down and I went back to sleep.

Kassie…the early months

Mom asked me to cover for her today. She is trying to clean the house, so…. I decided I would tell you a little about my early months!

I was born in New York and when I was eight weeks old, my mom flew there and picked me up. I spent my first night with my mom in a motel! This is me on the bed! I was afraid that it was going to be really scary, but it wasn’t! Mom and I cuddled, and played. She ordered something called Chinese food. She wouldn’t let me have any, but it smelled good. Mom got up during the night and let me go out to potty. She only had to scold me one time for starting to chew on a cord. I didn’t do it anymore. We had a really good time!

Oreo

Oreo was a direct result of my experience with Muff and the man at the door. This isn’t actually Oreo, but it looks a whole lot like her–she had a little more white on her neck. I have come to believe that she might have been what they now call a Bordernese (a hybrid of a Border Collie and a Bernese Mountain Dog).

Muff

I was there the night Muffie was born. I was there when she first opened her eyes and as she took her first steps. When she was old enough, I took her home with me. It was my first job after graduating from college. I had a job, and apartment and a dog. Life was good!

I Got You Babe!

When I was in college, I had a black toy poodle named Baby. There were other dogs as I was growing up, but Babe was ALL MINE! She was a great companion and got me through a lot of the trials and tribulations associated with college life. One of the things I appreciated most about her, was her ability to make me laugh. I lived in a mobile home at the time and one of her favorite things was to start at one end of the trailer (in the kitchen) and run as fast as she could to the other end of the trailer. There she would jump up on my bed and spin around. She would then be off for the return leg of the trip to the kitchen. Occasionally, she would make a minor deviation in the pattern by running into the bathroom, jumping into the bathtub, spinning around several times and then continuing on with the normal pattern. It was hilarious and a true delight to watch her enthusiasm. You would have thought that she was participating in the Olympics! One evening I had run a bath. Babe took off on her usual tear.
