My new dog Remy is a high energy dog, the likes of which I--51-year-old woman--cannot challenge, but I try. On days that we are together all day (which number 6), we walk three times a day, between 2 and 3 miles each time. Despite the fact that a couple years ago, my Achilles tendons became my...

Rags, Lee, Jaycob, and Miss ‘D’ spent the night above the city in the mountains. They talked into the wee hours of the morning. They viewed the 3-D hologram from Lee’s ‘Memory Maker’ and were amazed that it contained nearly four hours of Pegasus (Emma) talking to them as they sat and asked her...

Boys and their games, dogs playing with chooks and chooks thinking they’re dogs ... that’s life with two dogs, eight chooks and three boys.
