Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
March can be a trying time. We look forward to the start of spring, while also still dealing with the remnants of winter. Take for example this week where we received 5″ of new snow on Tuesday night, temperatures near 50ºF (10ºC) yesterday, and the promise of more snow on Friday. A rollercoaster ride of […]
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to slow down and join me for a winter idyll idle. Shall we begin? Take a deep breath, and slowly exhale. Feel the sun on your face. Roll over and listen to the icicles dripping onto the metal rain gutters. Take a big stretch. Cool […]
We’re all adults here. I’m not sure why Dad and Mr. Skunk had to raise a big stink. Sure it happened fast. Everyone was caught off guard. But neither Dad nor Mr. Skunk handled it very well. He was headed out for a night of carousing. Mr. Skunk that is, not Dad. Dad was just […]

I’m dedicating today’s song parody to all the humans who are getting a little crazy from shoveling after yesterday’s blizzard, and to all the dogs who can’t wait to get out and play in it. Therefore today I present to you my take on Ozzy’s classic, “Crazy Train,” from his iconic album the Blizzard of […]
Once again I found myself watching the Winter Olympics and daydreaming about what might have been. You may think of me as a ruff and ready rock star, but within me beats the heart of a snow dancer with Olympic dreams! Ok, so technically there’s no such thing as “snow dancing.” However, if you’ve seen […]
While watching the Winter Olympics, I couldn’t help but get nostalgic thinking about the games Angel Chuck Billy and I played. Notice I didn’t say compete. Chuck Billy was by far a better athlete than me, and had a stronger competitive spirit. I was simply happy to be out there playing in the snow with […]
For Presidents’ Day on Monday I paid tribute to George Washington’s love of dogs. Not wanting to play favorites to dogs, today I’m sharing Abraham Lincoln’s devotion to cats. When Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States, he made the difficult decision to leave his beloved dog, Fido, in Illinois. He knew that […]
