Finally, she’s coming home and told us that she is craving a homemade vegetable soup. We, Frenchies, thought it would be nice if that soup was ready and waiting for her, so we got busy.

Perhaps you saw Martha’s television show last Friday, when Sharkey and I were part of a canine fashion show. It was all about winter wear for dogs. Dogs, just like people, need coats and sweaters to keep them warm during harsh winter weather. We’re sure happy that Martha dresses us so well. Anyway, here are …

We don’t know what you do with your pumpkins and gourds once Halloween and Thanksgiving are past. At the farm, when they’re no longer needed for decoration, we put them to really good use.
