They travel in a disorderly line. It is the quickest way to get from one end of a circle to the other. The trio doesn't even bother with maps and compasses. Their noses scope out the terrain long before toes dig into the causeway untrodden. To make a pilgrimage into the seedy recesses of society…

Waverly learned "the K word" early on in her career as a mischievous miniature schnauzer. Food was a huge deal, and Waverly's girth, for most of her 15 years, was a testament to her love (o.k…obsession) of kibble. She was surprisingly quick on her feet, though. Let her loose on a good sandy shoreline and…

Level-headed dread. Rubbing the matchstick house wrong and coming up overdone and out of favor. Every decade has its pets. Burned out and numb from heel to skull. It is the sort of heat that extinguishes what it distinguishes to be a bright idea. All that is left is a smoldering desk which threatens to…

As we looked over Waverly's x-rays, I could immediately see that her liver was enlarged. A mass has formed, and the doctor pointed out…

Elf Dog's gift of choice. Meat makes such a tasteful surprise in one's Christmas stocking.

Today is a sad day. Maggie had a stroke last night about 10:00 and passed away at 8:30 this morning. She was 14 years old and had a very good life. She was a great dog and will be missed. Maggie was much loved and will always be in our hearts. Waverly and Lily will…

Over the course of 11 years, I have very few decent photographs of our gal. Having always been a nervous dog, she would run away at the sight, sound, and probably smell of any type of device that would steal her schnauzer soul. In addition to hating having her picture taken, she’s never been able…
