The Big Shoot - Day Two

The Big Shoot - Day Two

Posted by Francesca

On Wednesday, I told you all about the big production that Sharkey, G.K., and I were asked to be part of in New York City.  We pooches will be the stars of our very own webisodes, which you must be certain not to miss, but you’ll be hearing more about that sometime soon.  Anyway, here …

Art Under Foot

Art Under Foot

Posted by Pia

A recent trip to my hometown reminded me that the streets of The Big Apple were made for much more than walking! With some creativity, colorful chalk, and an adoption-loving audience, anything is possible!
Years ago I used to teach art classes for kids. My projects involved making art out of everyday objects that one could …

The Big Shoot - Day One

Posted by Francesca

Sharkey, G.K., and I were cast to star in our very own webisodes.  We can’t tell you too much about them, but we were chauffeured into New York City to the Starrett Lehigh building, where this all happened.  I have to say that being a celebrity has its perks, but, like Martha says, it is …

A Look Inside Martha's Kitchen Drawers

A Look Inside Martha's Kitchen Drawers

Posted by F&S

As you may know, Martha is traveling in a far away country called Malaysia.  While she is away, we decided to snoop a little and see what Martha keeps in her kitchen drawers and cabinets.  Fascinating!  We wanted to surprise her as well and measured the  inside of the drawers so that we could have …

Verdi Gets a Beauty Treatment

Verdi Gets a Beauty Treatment

Posted by Francesca

Sharkey and I saw Sanu, one of the housekeepers, grabbing Verdi, the cat, and taking him down into the laundry room.  We decided to follow and see what was going on.  We wondered if it was the dreaded bath time.  We almost felt sorry for the fluffy feline.  However, he was only down there for …

What's in a Name?

We receive some wonderful photos in our “Your Pet-Adoption Stories” gallery, but recently something caught my eye that I just had to share:
Contributor Robin Tousley from Minneapolis recently sent us a photo of her adorable adopted pooch — by the name of Martha Stewart! Much like our very own Martha, this pooch has worked hard …

What's Going on in the Tomato Patch?

What's Going on in the Tomato Patch?

Posted by Sharkey

Franny and I trotted down to the vegetable garden the other day to see how things were growing. The weather has been getting milder and I suppose the danger of frost has passed. We found Shaun and Wilmer out there planting all the tomatoes they grew from seed and of course, Franny and …

Sharkey Explores at Dusk

Sharkey Explores at Dusk

Posted by Sharkey

On a recent afternoon, I found myself alone since Francesca and G.K. were busy having a nap.  I just didn’t feel like joining them, so I went outside and hopped on a Kawasaki for a little spin around the farm.  There are always new and wonderful things to see.

Tree Peonies Galore But Not a Single One to Pick!

Tree Peonies Galore But Not a Single One to Pick!

Posted by Sharkey

Martha grows many, many peonies at the farm.  There is an enormous garden of herbaceous peonies and a long bed of exotic tree peonies.  The fragrance of these flowers is intoxicating and I wanted to pick a lovely bouquet to enjoy in the house.  Franny became very bossy when I suggested this and we had …

Pulling Weeds with the Crew

Pulling Weeds with the Crew

Posted by Francesca

The other morning when we woke up, a gentle rain was falling.  I was getting a little stir crazy and told Sharkey to find our rain slickers so that we could go outdoors.  We trotted down to where the lilies grow and we found the crew wearing rain slickers, too.  They were busy weeding and …
