Hi Friend, What more can I say about Andy and water. She is in water just about every day. When we get close to a pond she knows, or the dog beach at the park in BKLN, she looks at us, gets the nod to run ahead, and she and
Hi Friend, This is Spike's typical morning pond ritual. Stand there in chest deep water and look around. Andy is throw-the-ball non-stop. White swans built a nest near this part of the pond this spring, and hover at the fence and hiss at the dogs.
Hi Friend, Andy & Spike on an afternoon walk just before a storm in Prospect Park. It has been non-stop storms on the east coast. Some big trees down. I made some more vids for you: The Big Hive Before It Went Sideways - My Weed Plan Just Went Sideways
Hi Friend, Spike & Andy at a nature preserve up at the house in the woods. They are great walking dogs. Sometimes they get a little too far from us, but they do have pretty good recall. Spike has a much better nose, when her fur goes up we know
Hi Friend, Next to the spring in our backyard is an old clawfoot tub that is filled from the overflow of the cistern. It has always been a favorite place for our Labs. We can be in the yard and Andy will walk to the edge of the yard and
Hi Friend, Here is Spike at the dog beach in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. She has recovered enough from knee surgery that we can walk to the beach and Andy gets to swim. You might be able to see Andy in the back of this photo. Spike and I will go
Hi Friend, It looks weird, but its a good way to give you bees supplemental food in the days of spring that go hot-cold quickly. And its a key part of my latest video. I added a second hive on Brian's roof. It is doing well. Here
Hi Friend, 2 years ago Spike tore her cranial cruciate ligament in her left knee. She had surgery at Eclipse Specialty Surgical & ER in New Jersey. Excellent people if you live in the tri-state area. Dr. Miller, Spike's surgeon, told us she had a 50% chance
Hi Friend, Rapid snow melt in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Days like this only the dedicated dog people are out. We are a special few. I just got done recording the podcast with Erik of the Root Simple podcast. It was a good reason to touch base. And today I started
This is Spike after getting her CBD chews, ready for the car ride to BKLN. (info below) When I first started this second email for the newsletter, I called it Cool Stuff, to share other people's vids, posts, and gear that I think you might find interesting. But
Hi Friend, Had to cut trails in the yard for the Labs to go outside last weekend. Running the snowblower is such a satisfying thing for me. You are one with the machine. That annoying thing that guy said yesterday stops running on the hamster wheel in your head while
Hi Friend, Above is about 130 lbs of Labrador who love to jump on your bed when you are trying to sleep. Sometimes Andy asks to jump up. Spike does not. Finally a break in the cold, that if you live North, you have experienced. Last week one day almost
