In our ever-present quest for adventure, Franny and I wandered over to the cold house, where vegetables are planted right in the very fertile ground. It’s always interesting to see what is growing there and sometimes I wish that I could actually eat the stuff. However, I am told that people are people and dogs …
We, Frenchies, noticed that the hoop house’s door was open the other day, so we decided to go in and have a look. Voila! That’s where all the beautiful tropical plants that grace the sunken garden have been stored for the cold months of winter. We love those tropical specimens and we can’t wait for …
The weather was so beautiful yesterday and a lot of our household clan wandered outdoors to enjoy the sunshine. It seems that the wall around Martha’s patio is a favorite spot to congregate and like Martha, I want to be sure that the wall will be around for many, many years.

Last week, Martha went antiquing and found a gigantic metal vat and she thought it would be great to use as an outdoor fire pit. It was too big for her to take, so she sent Uncle Carlos with the pickup and, of course, he took us along for the ride. It wasn’t such an …
Now that spring has arrived, the grounds crew has been very busy with all of the spring chores. One major job is taking down the storm windows and replacing them with the screens. Because Franny and I are never concerned about getting our paws dirty, we are always ready to chip in and help. No …

Betsy’s new computer arrived for her stable office and we, Frenchies, wanted to deliver it and help her set it up, seeing that we’re computer savvy and all. New computers are so exciting and this one is especially so. We also heard that Martha got a brand new iPad and now we’re wondering when ours …
In my attempt to be ever helpful, I went down to the stables the other day because I heard that it was grooming time for Meindert. Unlike my little Frenchie body, a horse is quite a large thing to groom and I wanted to help Betsy out. It took a while, but I got the …
We were out and about with Uncle Carlos the other day when we came upon a playground, which had swings for kids. Franny and I started wondering, why should kids have all the fun? Why not dogs, too? It turns out that swinging is a blast and Franny even started reciting poetry. I think I’ll …
