It's Finally Snowing

Posted by Ghenghis Khan

Everyone is talking about what a mild winter it’s been and how there hasn’t been any snow except for that October snowstorm that caused so many problems.  Well, truth be told, I rather like the snow and I have the perfect coat for going out in it!

Going to Martha's Show

We dogs were so excited the other day because we were needed on the set of Martha’s television show.  Uncle Carlos came to drive us in.  We just love going to the TV studio.  We have so many friends there and the ride is always fun.

What I Made For Sharkey's Birthday

It’s a good thing I looked on Martha’s calendar because I suddenly realized that Sharkey’s seventh birthday is this Saturday!  You may recall my birthday last December, when Sharkey got creative in the kitchen and whipped me up a special treat.  Well, I wanted to reciprocate.  Please have a look.

As you all know, I am one of the lucky ones who was invited to compete in the 136th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City.  In preparation, I am presently staying with my breeder, Karen Tracy and I am in training with my handler, Jan Kolnik.  The …

Mr. Quiggly, the fast Frenchie!

How many of you Daily Wag readers saw that very funny Sketchers commercial during the Super Bowl about Mr. Quiggly, the French bulldog?  Apparently, if a Frenchie wears a set of Skektchers running shoes, he or she can outrun a pack of greyhounds!  Too funny!

Finding Safety in an Apple Tree

Posted by F&S

In our never-ending quest to be crackerjack squirrel chasers, we tore across the farm after one the other day.  We were just inches away from its tail, when the darn thing darted and made a beeline for the hollow of an old apple tree.  You’ll get yours yet, squirrel!

Why do we Have a Topiary Donkey?

We dogs were sitting at the kitchen door the other day watching the world go by, when I spotted a very strange thing out in the courtyard.  After investigating, I found out that this object was sent from a place in Brooklyn, NY called Dig Gardens.   Now we just have to figure out why?

Now that it’s winter, food is becoming scarce for many animals in the wild.  In fact, it has been brought to our attention that a couple of hungry red foxes have been spotted very near to our house.  While we, Frenchies, are being very cautious outdoors, we did come across something very interesting the other …

What We Didn't Know About Donkey Hooves

Posted by Sharkey

As you may know by now, I love playing with our miniature donkeys, Clive, Rufus, and Billie.  The other day, I was running in their paddock trying to get them to play with me, but they said that they had something important to do in the stable.  At first I thought they were just brushing …

What to Make of a Pile of Feathers!

What to Make of a Pile of Feathers!

Posted by Sharkey

The other day, Franny and I went outside in hopes of doing a little squirrel chasing.  One of the best places to find squirrels at the farm is under the bird feeders, where there is usually a free meal waiting for them.  On that particular day, however, we came upon a sorry scene.
