Ricky and Sputnik?
Last week a friend from Massachusetts sent me a cartoon, “Soviet Space Dogs — A Tribute to Canine Cosmonauts (by Scott Beale; see a portion of the cartoon at right). I had totally forgotten about that period during the 1950s and ’60s when the Russians used dogs for space flights, to see how it ev…
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…
Beagles Are (Tied For) #1!
I’m not sure whether the brouhaha over the release of my 100 favorite rock and roll songs of all time

MY PALS: Frankie & Roxy

Teardown?

MY PALS: Smokey
It’s true: Most of my pals are dogs. But not all. I’d like you to meet my new pal, Smokey. Smokey showed up over the weekend at Beagle Man’s friend Mimi’s house in Simsbury. Mimi already has Hooch, a black lab, and Simon, a yellow lab. But she’s a pushover when it comes to animals — she resc…
Ricky, Earmuffs!
There’s a commercial I hear on sports talk radio — I think it’s for Goodyear Tires — in which one guy says to another guy something like, “Just because you use seatbelts on your dogs doesn’t make them your kids.” (Will someone who’s better at searching the internet than I am let me know the act…
