There’s a secret cove on Mobile Bay; a place for really bad dogs; Dogtanamo Bay. DTMO. Ditmo. It’s a detention kennel, off the beaten track, secluded at water’s edge, owned and operated by Gestapo-esk proprietors Ronald and Charlotte Wasser. The name over the chain linked and [...]
When I was a pup, I was mistakenly left alone in the house once; free to roam, free to play, free to act responsibly. Wow! Watch what I can do. I’m gonna tear up the rug in the hallway, chew on every [...]
World Leader Dogs Meet in Fairhope Report on Summit 2009 D8 from L’Coffee Loft Lounge, Fairhope, Alabama Co-hosted by Willie Bean Roscoe P. Coltrane & Friends Developed countries like my own have a historic responsibility to take the lead, we have a much larger excremental footprint per capita, and I know that in the past [...]

Sherm was resting on a hillside, gazing across the River Avon in the English town of Stratford; Stratford-upon-Avon to be precise. It’s very much like Fairhope-upon-Fly Creek. William Shakespeare lived and wrote there; [...]
A new rug arrived at my house; many knots per inch. Very tight. Very expensive. My friends carefully placed it in a position of prominence, in my world. It was very different, and full of different colors and hues I had never before seen. My senses were challenged [...]
The day I was born is mine. I love my birthday. My pedigree is Labrador Retriever. In essence, I am nothing else. There can be a plethora of adjectives describing me, starting with Yellow, ending with Fabulous, and many in between, like Smart, Cute, Smelly, Loyal…you get the idea.
