Aspinwall | Crosby & Phoebe walking together

Duck season, rabbit season, soccer season, vaccination season.

April 14, 2021 by dpankiewicz

Spring is springing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the waters are stocked, it’s open season for vaccines and we need to keep wearing our masks, even as we celebrate another year of Brady’s Bend Township on 16-APRIL 2021. Observations from Brady’s Bend Spring has sprung up with an allergic reaction for me these past few weeks. There is something magical about all the trees flowering and my eyes wanting to stay closed. Spring soccer is starting. Phoebe and Crosby are […]

Let sleeping dogs lie.

April 5, 2021 by dpankiewicz

It’s Sunday morning and the pups have been out for their first walk. Ms. Crosby is good with just a half mile after breakfast followed my a nap during CBS Sunday morning. As a senior elkhound Crosby will still take to snowy trails for a mile or more, because the snow brings out her inner puppy. She’s trying to teach her adopted sister Phoebe to learn to slow down a little, but at 10 years YOUNGER than Crosby, Phoebe is […]

Time to turn over a new page.

April 1, 2021 by dpankiewicz

If you’ve been following along, the Spirit of Reba has been carrying us on for just over the last two years. Crosby recently reminded us that even old dog’s need new friends. Thanks to this little nudging from Ms. Crosby we started looking for a new addition to her pack. We didn’t have to look far, since Bridge to Home Animal Rescue has been going to West Virginia, Tennessee and other states to help abandoned pups and kittens find new […]

Losing baby weight with my hot mama. . .

March 29, 2021 by dpankiewicz

We are beginning week four of life with Ms. Phoebe. When we first adopted Phoebe, we realized she had just given birth to a bunch of pups around the beginning of 2021. She had just stopped nursing and the pups were getting adopted before her. Since Ms. Phoebe has joined our house, I’ve begun the post-baby weight workouts with her two times per day. Ms. Crosby is usually good for one of the two big workouts, but at almost 15 […]

Ms. Reba must have picked Ms. Phoebe…

March 24, 2021 by dpankiewicz

I always knew when something went missing from the kitchen counter Reba and Crosby somehow were involved. While Crosby was always a little younger and shorter, the assumption is Reba had the stealth leaping ability. Whenever we were home Reba would rarely jump on the couch, but when we were out for the day she always would sleep on the couch. It’s only been a few weeks with life under Ms. Phoebe’s spell, but it is quite evident she has […]

Ms. Phoebe has joined Crosby’s pack.

March 15, 2021 by dpankiewicz

A full year into the Covid-19 Pandemic and Crosby has finally had it. After lock down’s and no humans flying off to leave her with Uncle Dennis & Paula or Aunt Linds, Ms. Crosby wasn’t sure she could mentally handle being the only dog in the house to spread her magical fibers of love. There is such a thing in the dog world where one doge can really be tired of being around her humans too much. Ms. Crosby reached […]

Las camisetas the T-shirts

February 21, 2021 by dpankiewicz

Estas las camisetas necesita nueva casas. The frigid temperatures in Pittsburgh were the perfect excuse to go through the drawers. The donate pile was formed pretty easily. Then there were a few items that don’t fit me anymore but may be a conversation starters for others (Budding Boy Scouts, Footballers, or Howard Stern Fan.) These T-shirts are looking for new homes. If they peak the interest of any followers here please contact me. This is the last step before any […]

Attention all want to be Riley’s River Rats, it’s time to step up to a new challenge.

The 2021 Riverrats rocked the undies.

February 10, 2021 by dpankiewicz

In case you still want to be an Undie runner, the official event is this upcoming Saturday. It’s virtual so you can run wherever and join the party online. We came together as a team with our masks, social distancing and small group. We also took to the bricks of our back alley.

#Riley’sRiverRats #I’mWithCupid Aspinwall, Pennsylvania This weekend some of the river rats are going to take to the alley.You may wonder why we would strip to our undies in Pennsylvania but it’s fun in the fundraising that makes this such a special charity. I’ve been doing this since 2016 in Milwaukee. That year I ran past the bronze FONZ on the river walk. This year thanks to COVID-19 we will be distant, we will be virtual, we will be in an […]
