9/11/2023 start to a new week that will be less than ideal.
I remember that morning in the AK valley, heading into town, listening to Howard and Pamela when Gary came in to interrupt after the first plane hit the tower. I was at the gym before work when the second plane hit. Downtown Pittsburgh was cleared out before I had to go in for work that…

So right now we are working through this new theme, spring soccer officiating, continuing education for Puppy Crawford, boating the rivers and setting up a kinder soccer world. The golf clubs have…

Spring winds are upon us.
Phoebe and Crawford went out to check on one of their favorite places. The winds were whipping and the trees in front of the house did not survive. Bring your chainsaw and help create our new firewood pile. Our new neighbors were very busy with their beavers chopping up the fallen trees that went up…

‘‘Twas the night b4 Christmas.
And the fun has begun. I’m not quite sure why we picked Pittsburgh over Cancun or the Panhandle especially after this cold front. The good news is we’ve been able to catch the Penguins, Diamond and the Peters family. Our house is overly stirring. Three dogs, many humans, plenty of cookies and even the mouse…

We have been a little full of fur at home is where the bark is at. First there was Pride in Aspinwall Riverfront Park with a little football at North Park. Then we had a few days of walks in Highland Park. Then we found out about adverse reactions to lobster due to medication. Epipen…

Learning to love and play and not eat Phoebe.
Ok there were some questions after my 15 day post. My stitches are almost dissolved from my departed surgery and I’m scheduled to meet Dr. Lisa next week. For starters I, Crawford Riley-Pankiewicz am about nine months old and I am a mix between a golden retriever and a Pyrenees. Or at least that’s what…

Some times Easter service gives me tears of joy, sometimes tears of sorrow and always memories of those I’ve celebrated this holiday with before.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Twenty-twenty-too
It’s that magic day where everybody in the United States is Irish for one day. Everybody wears green. Everybody wants to go see Dropkick Murphys. Everybody wants to party like it’s 1999 and all is well in the world. Phoebe and I were berry busy today. Where were we? Did you figure out the where’s?…

As we end 2021 and look back on the year. . .
On this last day in 2021, I look back at the good and bad of the year. Phoebe and I definitely miss having Crosby around for our morning belly rubs, walks in Highland Park, long car rides and laying around on the deck. We did set an action plan in place to connect with nature,…

A comprehensive look at the elements that have shaped our cities over the last 100 years… in a single blog post. Why Cities Are The Way They Are Today after the holiday, the family time, the meals, the laughter and the puppy walk I really didn’t have anything to write, but I did truly reflect…

I really don’t need a white Christmas. I’m ok with white sand instead of snow. Right now rain looks like it will be greeting Santa. right now I’m going to think warmer thoughts.

Typical situation in a typical town.
Hey pups of Puppsburgh, this is one sweet dog world right now as my humans have been really letting me rule their world. I thought I had it good when I was being trained by Ms. Crosby but now that I’m an only, all the walk choices have been mine. The meals have been made…
