Meet Sharkey

I was born on February 18, 2005, in Trappe, Maryland. While my personality is laidback and easygoing, I’m always ready for a good adventure. If I see something I need to chase, like a squirrel, for example, I’m out the door and across the field without hesitation. I also really love to intimidate the donkeys even though a kick from them would probably really hurt. Francesca complains that I’m much too spontaneous and daring, but I just really like to have fun. I think Franny believes that I’m just not as smart as she is, but she is a bit of a snob.

Dogs and blooms

Posted by Sharkey

Francesca and I decided to take a little ride around the farm yesterday to see what was in bloom. There were so many beautiful flowers to look at and so many nice fragrances to smell. You may wonder what it’s like living with Martha and her gardens and all we can tell you …

We like birthdays

Posted by Sharkey

Last Friday was Chiiring Sherpa’s birthday and since Martha was out of town, she asked us if we would deliver the very nice gift she got for him. We did a great job wrapping it and drove the Kawasaki down to the equipment barn. The guys were eating in the lunchroom there, when …

We want bicycles!

Posted by Sharkey

Franny and I have been doing a little thinking about objects on wheels.  We have already mastered driving golf carts and Kawasaki vehicles and now we have a keen interest in bicycles.  The problem is, they are so big and our feet don’t reach the peddles.  If anyone can make it happen, it’s Martha!  Two …

Practicing our Yoga

Posted by Sharkey

Francesca and I have been watching Martha practicing yoga for so long.  In fact, humans seem to be crazy for yoga.  We dogs, however, were born doing yoga and it comes very naturally to us.  I mean, they even name yoga poses after us.  By the way, how is your yoga practice coming along?

A visit to the New York Botanical Garden with Martha

Posted by Sharkey

Recently, Martha took us to the New York Botanical Garden. She actually got special permission to take us there because dogs usually are not allowed on the grounds. Knowing this, we, of course, were on our best behavior. The reason Martha went there was to plant the Martha Stewart Culinary Herb Garden, which …

Shopping for Martha

Posted by Sharkey

Last weekend, Martha took us to one of her favorite nurseries called Hardscrabble Farms, located in North Salem, New York. Miraculously, there was a break in all the rain we’ve been getting and Martha was able to choose some pretty plants, with our help, of course. It’s always fun for us to visit …

Sharkey's baby pictures

Posted by Sharkey

You know, we dogs grow up so fast and it’s hard to remember ever being little. The other day when we snuck into Martha’s library, Francesca and I found some documents with pictures of us when we were tiny. It said something about pedigree. Make sure to click ON the photos to make …

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

Posted by Sharkey

The other day, we were trying on our Juicy Couture and the little cashmere sweaters were so warm and cozy that we started to doze off. But, something smelled really good and startled us from our nap.

Skunk attack again!

Posted by Sharkey

Oh why, oh why do I like to run after skunks? I guess I get all wrapped up in the thrill of the chase. You know, when you’re strategizing the critters every move, it’s easy to forget how it smells. Well this time, I avoided the tomato juice routine because Martha had …

Working out at the gym

Posted by Sharkey

Recently, when we were out in the Hamptons with Martha, we wanted to stop at the Southampton Gym and visit our friend, the Mascot called Charles. He is a bulldog, but an English bulldog and you know how tough they are. Franny and I don’t think that English bulldogs are as refined as …
