I knew it would be bad, but not this bad.
Notice me in the background? Good — ’cause nobody else did.
You’ve been seeing a lot about Pickle, Robby and Brianne’s new puppy, in BEAGLE MAN. I wrote about him back on February 1 …
A close friend who’s from Ukraine forwarded to us this report — “Waiting for Death.” Kemba, Ricky, and I thought all of our BEAGLE MAN followers should see it, too. It was written last Sunday by a resident of Mariupol, Nadiya Sukhorukova, and translated by Laura Olla AZ Palmer:
I go outside in …
Glad to see the young fella is upholding a truly great tradition . . . (Check out Beagle Man’s 2013 post on the subject.)
Pickle, February 2022, at two months
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s right there in my last post: when Pickle arrives, it’s gonna be Kemba-Who? Pickle this. Pickle that. Might as well call it The Adoration of the Puppy. Texts, photos, phone calls to everyone in the family — all about Pickle. Not even so much as a “How’s Kemb…
A week ago, Beagle Man showed me a family text from Robby: “Everyone, meet Pickle!”

The message was under the photo you can see, to the right. The little whippersnapper (drop-dead adorable, I know, I kn…

Nope, that beat-up ball in my Chuckit (photo, right) is not the one we had when we started out at the dog park. It is the one we ended up with, though.
This ratty tennis ball is pretty much your generic dog park ball.
Here’s…
Note: Other than the fact that my dog, Kemba, is named for Kemba Walker, and the somewhat peripheral mention of the UConn “Huskies,” this post has little or nothing to do with dogs. Okay, nothing.
“I hope the Knicks get destroyed tonight,” I said to Carol.
That’s a verbatim quote — from a lifel…
Neither the lure of a dog party . . .
Go, Dog. Go!, the kids book by P.D. Eastman, is, and has long been, a Herman family favorite. I’ve read that book to my three sons, and now all my grandsons, at least 9,000 times:

He waits. And waits. And waits. Come on, Kemba — you snooze, you lose!
Yum. That was delicious! Punishment be damned.
Conventional wisdom says I was the one who lived to eat, and Kemba’s the one who lives to fetch. That may have been true at one time, but I’ve …
