As you know, we Frenchies, really love our couture. However, nothing beats going outdoors with just our birthday suits and feeling that warm sun on our furry backs. Quite suddenly, the cold temperatures disappeared and we were blessed with a stretch of really pleasantly warm and sunny days. And also quite suddenly, …

When you live on a farm, there are many chores to do.  Shaun, the gardener, has been really busy with his crew, getting the grounds all spruced up for spring.  Franny and I decided to explore the berry patch the other day and saw that it was really overgrown.  Berries need a good pruning every …

I was outdoors last week, dreaming of springtime, when I happened to see Fernando busy at work.  He was getting the pergola ready for some touch ups, before all the plants begin to grow and climb.  You may recall that I really love this pergola and all of the blooms that it supports.  Therefore, I …

Susie, Martha’s executive administrator in Bedford, spends a great deal of time with us, Frenchies.  One day, Susie didn’t come to work.  Then, another day passed and then, another, and we started to worry.  We couldn’t imagine what happened to Susie.  Then, one day, she finally came back to work and we were so happy …

We Frenchies decided to take the Kawasaki out for a spin the other day and Martha asked us to take G.K. along for the ride.  We don’t mind as long as he knows he belongs in the back seat.  As we were passing by the stable, Betsy was coming back from a ride with Rinze …

Sharkey and I put our yellow coats on the other day and went outside to explore.  We’ve been noticing how the days seem to be getting longer and that can only mean that spring is on its way.  We trotted around the farm to see if we could find evidence of this and we weren’t …

There has been so much excitement around the house these past few days.  Wouldn’t you know it, just when it seemed that Laura Acuna finished putting away the last few Christmas decorations, out they all came again.  The reason is because a crew from the magazine is here photographing for next holiday season.  The best …

Martha’s housekeepers work hard to keep the house looking beautiful.  Let me tell you that with so many pets, their jobs can’t be easy.  Just the other day, I found Maria working on a section of the wood floor.  There were so many scratches and I just couldn’t understand what, or who, made them until …
