Maisy had settled into a routine and just to mix it up a little, I gave her a bath. She needed one with all of our ramming around outside and I had the time, so I went ahead and gave her one. She seemed to really enjoy it. She was just so calm in the [...]

Occasionally, Beverly went out of town for the weekend and she would leave Maisy with me. At first, Maisy was a little confused because she hadn’t really slept here overnight before. This resulted in Maisy not quite being able to settle in and get comfortable at first. But we all worked it out and she [...]

Maisy and Mattie really began getting along. Mattie would be out on the front porch leisurely wagging her tail and waiting for us when I went down to get Maisy. I would let Maisy go at the elevator and she would gallop to the door. When I finally caught up to her, there they would [...]

Now this was a fresh day in hell for me. I woke up looking like I had a softball stuck under my chin. I had already had the mumps as a child so I knew it wasn’t that. I don’t recommend “googling” your symptoms because you will walk away from the computer completely convinced you [...]

Maisy was around when I got the news that I had gotten the column in “BIRD TALK” Magazine. I think we danced. At the time BT didn’t know if it was going to be monthly or every other month, but the column, called “Memo to Parker and Pepper” was definitely in. I had been working [...]

I occasionally went down and got Maisy when I had a day off even though Beverly was coming home at a normal hour. Maisy seemed to like going out for a bit and Mattie seemed to enjoy having her round as well. I was flying a lot that month, about 105 hours and I had [...]

Maisy had very long hair, so when it rained, it was “wet dog smell” for days! So I was cautious about getting her too wet unless she was getting a bath. Wheww, Doggies! But it wasn’t so much the wet dog smell as it was getting all of that long hair dry. For the most [...]

Maisy, Mattie and I were getting into the swing of things by now. When I got home from work, she pretty much expected to be picked up and was usually waiting in the living room for me. Maisy had already been through a bout of cancer and was a miracle dog, according to her Vet. [...]

Little by little, Maisy got more comfortable with staying with Mattie, the birds and me in the afternoons and early evenings. She actually started plopping down on the rug with Mattie. Mattie didn’t seem to mind the company, although she did give Maisy an occasional “correction” to her manners. Maisy picked up on it right [...]

2.15.08 Dear Mom, My “paw-writing” is getting a little better don’t you think? Lady has been working with me on all kinds of things: like my paw writing, staying put at her side when we go downstairs, and not dumping over the trash can, no matter what. I’m getting pretty good at that. Today we [...]
