This spring the budding flowers and vegetable garden greenery of New Albany look much less chewed than in the past. Knowledgeable observers attribute the change to the fearsome bunny-hunting team of Kasey and Penny. Rabbits throughout the neighborhood cower in fear when this formidable pair steps outside on their latest expedition. They know that the [...]

Feeling Good About The Frog
Posted in Family, Happiness, Kasey, tagged Creatures in the House, Family, Frogs, Happiness, Helping animals, house and grounds, Kasey on May 28, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
This morning, as I was walking through our downstairs hallway, I noticed an intruder in the house. At first I thought it was a moth, but instead it was a small green frog, clinging to the wall at about baseboard level. How it got into our house is anybody’s guess. I’d guess it was a [...]
The Penny Chronicles
Posted in Dogs, Humor, Penny on May 19, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Today the old boring guy took Kasey and me for a walk. It was too hot for a walk. It was way, way too hot! The sun made it too hot. The sidewalk made it too hot. The fast walks of Kasey and the old boring guy made it too hot. And every time I [...]
Dogs At The Dawn Of Mankind
Posted in Dogs, Humor, Kasey, Penny, Science, tagged Dogs, Early Humans, Humor, Kasey, Natural Selection, Neanderthals, Penny, Science on May 16, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Tens of thousands of years ago, both humans and Neanderthals walked the Earth. Humans, obviously, survived. Neanderthals — except to the extent they mated with humans and left their genes behind — didn’t. Why did one humanoid species thrive, and the other fail? New theories posit that the domestication of dogs was a significant part [...]
Kasey The Escape Artist

We’ve discovered that Kasey is the Harry Houdini of dogs. We keep Penny and Kasey in crates overnight because I’m not keen on sleeping with dogs. Kasey, however, has figured out how to get out of one of the crates. This morning when I came down to take the dogs for our walk she was [...]
Kasey Under Cover
Posted in Dogs, Family, Humor, Kasey, Photography, tagged Dogs, Family, Humor, Kasey, Photography on May 4, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Whatever Kasey’s dominant strain is, it clearly was bred for burrowing. Every morning she leaps onto our bed and, through various paw scratches, head tosses, and other gyrations, messes up the sheets and covers and sneaks underneath. She then promptly covers herself up, falls asleep, and begins snoring. The last step in the morning getting [...]
D.F.F.

Penny and Kasey seem to be getting along very well together. They keep each other company during the day when we are away and keep each other warm while dozing on the couch in our living room.
The Ultimate Poker Face
Posted in Dogs, Humor, Kasey, Photography, tagged Dogs, Humor, Kasey, Photography on April 15, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Kasey would fit in quite well with those poker-playing dogs featured on the black velvet paintings — although I doubt she would cheat like the rest of them do. Her expression never changes. Whether she is begging for a piece of food, sitting attentively, sniffing for the scents of other dogs and random four-legged critters, [...]
Kasey’s Hiding Spot

This is where Kasey ended up when she was hiding this morning. Hey, we never claimed to have the world’s smartest dog.
Happy Dogs In The Sun

It’s a beautiful day today — perfect for some much needed yard work. I brought Penny and Kasey out with me, and they lolled on the cool green (but weed-filled) grass, enjoying the bright sunshine and the neighborhood doings as I worked.
The Penny Chronicles

My name is Penny. Every morning the old boring guy and Kasey and I go for our walk. When that happens, Kasey runs all over the place. She’ll go take a sniff by that tree, then race across the path to take a good whiff of a fire hydrant. Of course, I can’t blame her [...]
Spring Fever

Today we had an absolutely flawless afternoon in Columbus. The temperature touched the low 70s, the sunshine was dazzling, and everywhere you could feel the spring fever. Penny and Kasey had it on our walk this evening — and so did I. The blissful expression on Kasey’s face as she happily rolled in the green [...]

My name is Penny. What’s with this new member of the pack? She’s not even housebroken. I’m not kidding! I walk around the house during the day, and find her accidents. It’s embarrassing to any self-respecting dog. I’m hoping Kasey gets with the program here. Otherwise, the old boring guy is always going to be [...]
The Smelly Joys Of Housebreaking
Posted in Dogs, Humor, Kasey, tagged Dogs, Housebreaking, Humor, Kasey on March 9, 2012 | 2 Comments »
We like Kasey, but unfortunately she’s not quite . . . housebroken. Of course, “unfortunate” isn’t really the right word. What word would adequately describe the joys of coming home from a long, hard day at the office to find runny accidents that smell so terrible they have a physical impact like a punch in [...]
