Last week the nation watched on pins and needles as a stranded dog was saved from drowning in the overflowing Los Angles River. Nature doesn’t discriminate among those she affects, and thankfully, neither did the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The dog rescued in that brave effort has become known in the many follow-up stories in the …

Sharkey and I were exploring the other day when we came upon the nearby Cross River Reservoir. It was amazing how many rowboats there were upon the shore. Sharkey told me that she has seen people fishing from these boats and that got us dreaming about a fresh caught fish for dinner. However, we Frenchies …

Martha wanted to visit a place called Viking Nordic Center to learn about grooming trails for cross country skiing. While she was having a lesson about that, Franny and I decided to go off …

The other day, we took a drive to Connecticut with Martha and Uncle Carlos. It was a very lovely day and the winter landscape looked beautiful. Suddenly, something caught my attention and I told Carlos to stop the car. Sharkey and I are always so curious to investigate new things and the display we found …

You may have read on Martha’s blog that she sent Eliad, her tech guy, to the big electronics show in Las Vegas. He had a great time there and brought back some really cool new products to show Martha. We Frenchies, being rather tech savvy ourselves, wanted to check out this new technology because we …
