MY PALS: Crosby

Ever since that damn reunion in June, Beagle Man’s all “Teaneck High School this” and “Teaneck High School that.” Excuse me, but aren’t you supposed to not talk about something you neglected to bring your so-called “best friend” to? (Even though I hear a certain little Pomeranian puffball named…

MY PALS: Frankie & Roxy

When they hear me at their front door, they both get extremely yappy. Roxy, a 10-year-old Entlebucher, because she’s happy to see me. Frankie . . . not so much. Frankie’s a 5-year-old Dachshund, and he’s got a little bit of that Napoleon thing going on. I know a lot of small dogs like that. B…

MY PALS: Brodie

I had my first-ever sleep-over at Brodie’s. He lives in Somerville, MA, with Lang and Marilyn — Beagle Man’s good friends. Brodie’s a big Golden — look at him! — calm and dignified, and much older than I am. I kind of looked up to him as a role model. But I was just a puppy back then, and I…
