I like to travel and see new things, thus the reason for starting my blog. However, flying is not one of my favorite ways to get somewhere. I do it because it is convenient, not because I like it. Photo Courtesy of Martijn van Exel. It isn't that I'm afraid to fly. I'm not. I am truly amazed that I can travel to Boston, MA or St. Louis, MO in under two hours. The Wright Brothers (the guys who "invented" flying machines) would be, too. It is that I get motion sick. Taking off is bad. … [Read more...]
Owney Gives a Shout Out to Country Corner Animal Clinic
Since my mom, Wendi, has been laid up for a a couple of weeks, I decided to write about my trip to the Country Corner Animal Clinic. Thanks to their willingness to accommodate my freaked-out mom, I got the treatment I needed to feel better. It all started earlier this week. I was really tired and my tummy felt yucky. When Mom and I went out for a walk, I thought eating grass would help. It didn't. All I wanted to do was lay around. Mom noticed on Tuesday, October 6, that I wasn't … [Read more...]
How to Paint a Picture of Your Pet in Two Easy Steps
Owney, my dog, is very photogenic. Bobby proves that in all the pictures he has taken of him since August 2013.

They had painted a scene that was predetermined. Randi had such a good time doing it, she … [Read more...]
Owney’s Encounter with Nature — the Stinky Kind
Hello! I'm Owney. I'm the cute black-and-white dog my Dad, Bobby, is always taking pictures of. My Mom, Wendi, is under the weather, so she said I could write her blog post today. I know my mom has been telling people about adventures she has had in recent weeks. I want to share one of my own. It happened right here near our home. Mom and I were out for our morning walk. (You know I have to keep the old girl moving or else she'd be a class A couch potato.) It was right about dawn on … [Read more...]
Great Times with Great-Nephews
Bobby and I don't have children — unless you count the four-legged kind—but we do have nieces and nephews. Some of those nieces and nephews have children. That makes us great aunt and uncle to a few really great kids. This summer we have been able to enjoy time with two of our great-nephews, De'Aveon and Noah. Earlier this summer, the boys stayed with their great-grandparents in Lodi. That meant we got to see them pretty often during their 17 day visit. On one of those days, Uncle Bobby … [Read more...]
