We spent a lot of time up on the hill today because Momma Dog wanted to read her poetry book, so she perused it up there while  Huck and I rolled over and over in the long grass.  It’s getting about … Continue reading →

Boy oh boy!  Momma Dog felt guilty for leaving us alone last night while she and VOG went to see a movie called “No Impact Man” at Film Streams.  She took us all the way back to the line fence to see … Continue reading →

Today we have been Morel mushroom hunting.  Huck claims he can smell them out just like a truffle pig.  We shall see, today we didn’t find a single one, but then it’s been cold and rainy for three days.  My big, … Continue reading →
