Holly’s Neighborhood: “Bad to the Bone”

Last Monday, I received the book gift “Bad to the Bone“, written by Bo Hoefinger of Dogster.com “For the Love of Dog” blog.  My favorite boy toy dog-friend, for sure!!
BUT once we got the book, I had to almost BEG to read it, with the old ladies fighting to read it first….before me even!
To [...]

Holly’s Neighborhood: “Asleep at the food dish…”

I really don’t have a lot to say, other than I am REALLY tired. I gave up cat chasin’ for some old fashioned catching mice in the kitchen until wee hours of the morning when I was so rudely awoken.
When the grandmother passed away awhile back, we inherited her old black and white cat, Sassy, [...]

Holly’s Neighborhood: “Who is the Puppy Nanny around here anyway?”

Several years ago the two old ladies I co-exist with used to breed Cocker Spaniel puppies and cockapoos .  As I look back (and they say a dog has only 14 minutes of short-term memory! HA!) I remember one day the entire farm was getting ready for two litters of Cocker Spaniel puppies to arrive.
As [...]

Holly’s Neighborhood: “Nap Time in K-Mart”

“When a doting person gets down on all fours and plays with the dog’s rubber mouse, it only confuses the puppy and gives him a sense of insecurity. He gets the impression that the world is unstable and wonders whether he is supposed to walk on his hind legs and smoke cigars.” ~ by Corey [...]

Holly’s Neighborhood: “That Damm Farting Dog!”

Now, me…I simply call it farting. It’s more “user friendly” and part of a universal language. But we dogs tend to simplify things for a better understanding for the human race.
Oh…haven’t [...]

Holly’s Neighborhood: “The Love of Nature”

“Be tuff ! The “dog days” of summer can be wuff !”
June bugs are a sign of summer, along with June strawberries and hot days. Hot afternoons are my favorite time when I nap under the chair in an air-conditioned room. Ah….what a dog’s life! But peaceful moments like this are rare, as living in [...]

Holly’s Neighborhood: A Jar of Mayonnaise and Two Cans of Beer

We lost one of our old girls last week, so things have been kind of down for most of us…especially for the old ones who were friends with ol’ Popcorn.  Popcorn had serious dementia, but loved popcorn and potato chips more than life. Previously a kennel dog, she let us know when she arrived here [...]

Holly’s Neighborhood: “Planet of the Dogs”

Holly’s favorite quote of the day:
“A dog is the only thing on earth that will love you more than you love yourself.” ~ Josh Billings
After weeks of continuous rain, it appears that I may [...]
