In Other Words...

In Other Words...

Posted by Pia

Those of you at the Daily Wag know I love a great quote! Sometimes it seems the greatest wisdom is conveyed in the fewest words.
Maybe that’s why I love animals so much- they don’t distract us from the present with too many unnecessary words. The way in which they offer their …

What Chew Doing?

Sharkey and I love to share our many adventures but sometimes, it really is just a dog’s life.  And a dog’s life involves a lot of chewing and licking!

We Frenchies always like to be helpful and we especially like to teach our blog readers new things.  Last week, before the hurricane, we helped to harvest the onions and garlic in the vegetable garden.  Take a look!

It’s been all over the news that Hurricane Irene is working her way up the Eastern coast of the US.  Weather experts are saying that several factors could align to make this approaching cyclone potentially disastrous.  We, Frenchies, are very concerned about this and we’re really hoping that Irene loses her punch.  For those of …

The Laundry Room in Maine is not Only for Laundry

Posted by F&S

Yesterday, we Frenchies blogged about a very muddy hike that we went on.  You can imagine, no one was very pleased when we returned home.  Of course, we were banished to the laundry room where we were scrubbed clean of all that nice dark mud.  Once we were spick and span, we couldn’t help but …

Many of you noticed that we were absent from Martha’s blog photos from her birthday weekend at Skylands.  We were actually with her there for a couple of days, but so many people arrived at Skylands to celebrate Martha’s special day, that we opted for peace and quiet and drove back to the farm with …

Why do Cats Sleep so Much?

Why do Cats Sleep so Much?

Posted by Francesca

Sharkey and I always wonder why cats sleep so much.  Do you know it’s estimated that felines will sleep two-thirds of their lives away?  That seems like such a waste of time!  Now dogs, on the other hand, are much more active and lead far more interesting lives.  And we, dogs, only sleep, on average, …

Posted by F&S

Susie, Martha’s executive assistant at the farm in Bedford, is away on vacation.  Poor Susie!  She sure picked the wrong week to be on Long Island, because we heard that they received record amounts of rainfall!  Oh well!  Not much you can do about the weather.  Anyway, we, Frenchies, decided to help out and go …
