Martha Plants a New Garden to Match GK's Tongue!

Martha Plants a New Garden to Match GK's Tongue!

Posted by Sharkey

You may recall a recent blog where Franny and I found some flower bulbs in the equipment barn and got busy planting a garden.  Well, last week, we discovered an entire film and a camera crew and some Dutch bulb experts working with Martha planting all those bulbs at the allee of lindens.  It was …

Fall Fashion Shoot

Fall Fashion Shoot

Posted by Francesca

Recently we were asked by PetSmart to work as models for a photo shoot to show off Martha’s wonderful fall dog fashions, in stores now. Normally we don’t even get out of our doggie beds for less than 10 biscuits, but since we’re such big fans of the collection, we agreed. And check out Martha’s …

Visiting the Japanese Maple Grove

Visiting the Japanese Maple Grove

Posted by Francesca

If you love Japanese Maples, then you know that autumn is when those lovely trees put on an amazing display.  You may recall just over a year ago when Sharkey and I blogged about how we filmed the planting of the grove.  Well, I guess the planting was a big success because the trees seem …

Members of The Family

We animal lovers here at The Daily Wag are honored to be part of Petside’s annual pet blog event. This year the topic is one that is near and dear to our hearts….It’s a celebration of pets as members of the family!

The Crows at the Farm

The Crows at the Farm

Posted by F&S

Being the observant Frenchies that we are, we’re always keeping a close eye on the other animals at the farm.  Of course, there are the domesticated ones, who, like us, call this place their home.  But, in addition, there are the wild ones, who also seem to call this turf their home.  We are particularly …

G.K. Plays Rough

G.K. Plays Rough

Posted by F&S

The last time we went to Martha’s house in East Hampton, we had the pleasure of seeing Dodi.  Dodi is a golden retriever who belongs to Alex, the gardener, and he’s a really fun and nice dog to play with.  G.K. wanted to assert his dominance and got a little rough.  He’s still young and …

The Life of Riley...

The Life of Riley...

Posted by Pia

Riley, a senior maltese/poodle mix, was not always living ‘the life of Riley.’ When a little stray ball of matted grey fur was brought into a southern California shelter, kennel workers began to call him Snowball. Snowball was in bad shape- he had been severely neglected and for some reason he had been …

Never Visit a Turkey Right Before Thanksgiving!

Never Visit a Turkey Right Before Thanksgiving!

Posted by F&S

You probably know by now that Martha raises a lot of chickens so that she can enjoy and share all of their delicious eggs.  She also has some Pomeranian geese and they make so much darn noise that we, Frenchies, just can’t figure out what the attraction is there.  Then there are the six heritage …

How we Helped the Canaries

How we Helped the Canaries

Posted by Francesca

Sharkey and I hadn’t been to see the canaries for a couple of days so we went to pay a visit to those mellifluous little creatures.  When we got to their rather palatial cage, we were puzzled as to why they were all huddled at the top.  On further inspection, we discovered exactly what was …

Planting Bulbs at the Farm

Planting Bulbs at the Farm

Posted by Francesca

There’s been a lot of talk at the farm about a really large bulb-planting project.  Shaun, the gardener, said that a shipment of bulbs arrived just the other day.  Sharkey and I wanted to see what exactly came so we went to the equipment barn to check things out.  Of course, being clever and industrious …
