I’d like to point out that there’s an awful lot of Husky-mania going on around our house. Sure, I get it — I was named for the ultimate Husky hero, Kemba Walker. And we do live in Connecticut. And UConn is a damn good squad —
Let me tell you something about cross-country skiing: I love it.
You know what I mean. Like I don’t actually wear skis. I leave that part to

Spent New Year’s in Vermont, as we pretty much always do. Because certain of the activities weren’t dog friendly, I got shipped over to my Manchester sitter for
I noticed it a long time ago. It was this real cute photo of Matt, as a baby. He was sitting

I just found out that Beagle Man pays Elise and Frankie when he leaves me with them. And I have to say, that doesn’t really make sense to me.

I’ve noticed, in the last couple of posts, that Beagle Man’s been featuring my young nephew Pickle quite prominently. I mean, jeez — why don’t we just start calling the blog BLACK LAB MAN?
