Yesterday a neighbor came by with a chihuahua on a leash.  She said that she found the little dog walking down the street alone with a collar on and dragging a retractable leash behind him.  But she had to leave and didn’t have a fenced backyard to keep the dog safe, so she asked Patty [...]

Like most of the east coast, a huge snow storm hit Charlotte today. School was canceled, even for employees. Maegan enjoyed the snow day off from school and built another snowman (this one bigger). But I think Boomer enjoyed the snow even more than Maegan. Snow Dog from Mike Sussman on Vimeo.

This spring there’s been a tiny baby bunny that must live in the field right behind [...]

Patty came home to find this odd site of Boomer laying on top of Hobo’s crate, like Snoopy atop his doghouse in Peanuts. Boomer loves to lay in the sunshine, no matter where it lands. Look closely and you’ll see Hobo inside his crate, paying no concern to his upstairs neighbor.
