I’d be lying if I said I’m not a little bit worried.  Beagle Man leaves tonight for his annual Alps ski trip with Matt and Greg and their friends.  I saw him packing his bags.  That means Mom’s in charge of me.  Which is fine. . . in certain ways.  I mean, I’ll get fed.  And she’ll throw me some r…

I’ve been hearing all the buzz about this so-called “nephew” of mine since early November, but I was starting to wonder if he was really real.  First I’m not allowed to see him because he has pneumonia.  Then, he’s all better, but he’s still “contagious.”  And when he’s finally not contagious, I’m…

Yup — still grounded, because of this dumb paw injury.  Beagle Man tells me to be patient, but it’s getting harder and harder.  Here are just a few of the things I’m not allowed to do while I have to wear the stupid bandage on my paw and the stupid cone around my neck: run, jump, fetch, swim at Bur…

Strangest thing:  We were down at Burying Hill Beach earlier this week, and Beagle Man reached back with the Chuckit and flung a tennis ball far out into the water, as usual.  Of course, I dove in to swim and get it.  Duh.  Now the water’s starting to get a little cool, which doesn’t bother me one…

This sense of deja vu I’m feeling?  I kind of had it when I met little Vera on the beach in Montauk, but it really hit me big-time this morning when I was horsing around at Burying Hill Beach with this young pup named Griffin.  And then it all came back to me:  Remember last winter, when I was a ti…

I couldn’t believe it when I saw the Marine Patrol four-wheel drive stop in the sand right behind our chairs.  What the heck???!!!  We just got our case dismissed on Monday, and here we were on Thursday, getting hassled again??  The officer got out and walked toward us with this arrogant, fake-chee…

Beagle Man takes me to the dog park.  He takes me to the beach and launches balls into the ocean with the chuckit for hours.  He takes me on all his errands — Walgreen’s, the dry cleaners, Pet Supplies Plus, Staples.  He takes me when he goes out to dinner, though I usually have to stay in the car…

I met three dogs named Stella at the dog park this morning.  Three!  Beagle Man says if I’d been a girl, I would have been named Stella, after his mom.  Robby says I couldn’t have been a girl because there’s no way he would have let a girl dog in the house.  Hey, has anyone noticed Beagle Man hasn’…

I am having the best time EV-ER!  We’re out at the beach in Montauk, and Patty and Teddy brought my cousin Bruce.  This is the first time I’ve met him, but he is the GREATEST!  I love this guy!  At the very beginning we weren’t so sure:  I sniffed, he sniffed, I barked, he barked.  But then we pla…

I am SO, SO, SO excited!  Mrs. B told me that to welcome me and Beagle Man home from LA/XC-4, and to celebrate the completion of Beagle Man’s series of four cross-country road trips, and to congratulate Robby on his college graduation, she’s throwing a big backyard barbecue FOR ALL THE DOGS I KNOW…
