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…

Making sure my spoons are filled up each day.
Hello My Name is Crawford, I’m approaching my 2nd Birthday, but I still have a lot of puppy in me. Mom and Dad keep talking about my spoons each day. They also discuss how Crosby used to be just like me. Today they even mentioned me standing in the boat like Reba. I’m just me.…

this one goes out to all the pups. . .in the wall
Ok – so I’m working through this new theme. Some people had issues with the picture layout. Some didn’t like the yellow tones.

Dog Walks and Ice
And then there was sun again. One out of five days isn’t bad. OK it was really cold for Christmas in Pittsburgh. So cold that we dreamed of our time on the beach and in Florida golfing at Indian Bayou this year. This time of year it is good to stay warm. Instead of hitting…

‘‘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…

Island Time for the Holiday
Are you thinking December in Pittsburgh calls for a trip to the island, as in Neville Island?

It’s beginning to feel freezing.
But somebody took to the ice to bring light up night cheer. We are still doing hockey nights in Pittsburgh.

Crawford’s first fall.
The year is 2022 and we have just crossed from summer into fall. Our little bundle of pyrenees and golden joy is celebrating his first fall. If you meet him, if you are around him, if you get to spend a weekend with him, just remember we all need to call him Crawford. Not Mr.…
