  • Christmas Eve 2011

    So Christmas Eve has finally arrived.  As usual these days, it’s just Rich, Rick, and I celebrating together. Ah, but this year, we have Sascha as well.  This is one of those Polish eating holidays.  There is food all the time. Christmas time is also Sascha’s birthday.  It’s too bad we don’t know the exact […]

  • Who Almost Took Out Whom?

    On Thursday, Rich decided to let Sascha go for a run.  This is her favorite thing to do, after all, besides lay in someone’s lap.  To get her ready, Rich put on the flexible booties that are supposed to protect her feet.  One problem:  the booties won’t stay on.  We’ve tried a couple of different […]

  • All the Babies at Home

    I knew I was going to have trouble writing a blog too many days in a row.  It’s not that my life isn’t interesting.  It’s just not interesting enough for print.  I knew I wasn’t going to keep up with this like Rose does with her Daisy blog.  Rose does a nice job with her http://www.curiousdaisy.com/wordpress/ blog.  […]

  • Video Cam of Sascha

    Today was a beautiful day outside!  Sascha thought the weather was perfect since she spent most of the day out there.  She was watching for anything that might come into the yard.  Even though I tried to get her to come in several times, she remained on guard out by the trees.  I did catch […]

  • Sascha walking Joy

    So I’ve been dying to try out my helmet cam on a walk with Sascha.  I was hoping the video would be cool.  I got a chance a few days back. And yes, the video turned out great.  Then I spent a couple of days under the weather and didn’t get a chance to get the […]

  • Sascha and the Christmas Tree

    Tis the season.  Started my Christmas cards for this year.  It’s a little harder trying to do them with my right hand.  You can read it, but it’s more like a First Grader wrote them.  Hope my friends and family understand.  My help just wasn’t into helping tonight.  All except for Sascha.  She was lying […]

  • Dog with a View

    We had been joking around that we should have a helmet cam for dog scootering.  So guess what I got for my birthday?  A helmet cam!!  I loved it. I’ve been spending the past few days messing around with the camera.  Today, Rick took me through editing my files.  He’s the video editor in the […]

  • Sascha continues to learn about life outside the kennel

    Tomorrow is my traditional day to put up the Christmas tree.  However, we are going downtown Chicago to Piece Brewery and Pizza for my birthday.  That meant I had to get the guys in gear to pull down the Christmas tree and all the boxes to decorate today. I have made it Rick’s job to […]

  • Sascha has a new job

    So the other day, I left Sascha outside to keep watch on those pesky squirrels.  After a while, I figured she should have had enough.  What did I see?  A hole about a foot deep right where I had dug up my dahlias this fall!  It looked like a bomb crater with dirt thrown out […]

  • Because Rich is a nice guy

    Today is the Thanksgiving fest at work.  This is the annual pitch-in lunch with the office staff.  My boss, Cathy, drives everyone to participate with great results.  We usually have a ton of very interesting choices for the meal.  So Rich deep fried turkeys for last year’s meal.  It went over really well.  Everyone who […]
