My brother Matt, who’s always looking out for me, sent Beagle Man a Subaru Facebook page with a photo of some guy and the headline, “Hi, I’m Grant Weber. And I sell cars to dogs.” The site had just what you’d expect in the way of cutesy, gimmicky options: The Subaru Dog Matchmaker asked for Read More
At first, when I heard Cousin Kat and her husband David and Baby Teddy were coming to VT, I’m thinking, how cool is that! Everyone told me Teddy and I had so much in common — we both weigh exactly the same (29 pounds); we both will eat anything we find — and for the Read More
Comments Off on National Take Our Dogs To Work Day
In two months — April 25, the fourth Thursday in April — it’ll be Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day. Beagle Man doesn’t have any daughters. He has three sons, but none of them is home — and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want to be taken to work, anyway. So last week Read More
Beagle Man puts the crate in the back of the Acura, same as always. And my blue denim bed. And my teddy bear. The cooler. All the standard stuff. Mrs. B-Man takes shotgun, so I’m stuck in the backseat. Now this is a new twist, but I’ll roll with it — for now. We start Read More
I don’t mean to sound bitchy, but seriously, what does Rerun of Roirdan have that I don’t have? That’s the three-year-old who won best in breed for 13-inch beagles this morning at Westminster.

Shuttled over to Luz’s. It happens at Thanksgiving . . . and Passover . . . and July 4 barbecue . . . Read More
Comments Off on And This Is How They Spent Their Weekend?
We were in VT for the weekend. Yup, they finally took me along. It’s about time. Anyway, Beagle Man went skiing at Stratton on Saturday, with Greg & Kelly, Geiger & Ashley, and Fighting Geli-ni. It was 9 degrees when they left the house, and reached a high of 13. They took the lift to Read More
Comments Off on Destination Walks: Setting the Record Straight
Just what the world needed: Beagle Man’s ratings of my walks. I mean, really! How many times have I heard him tell people, “It’s his half hour (nodding at me), so we go wherever he wants. If he wants to just stand and sniff, then we stand and sniff.” Really? This morning, he’s all, let’s [...]
Comments Off on Check It Out: Ricky’s Bar & Grill, Hank’s Fine Furniture!
Bet you didn’t know that Ricky’s Bar & Grill in Seattle has “nice healthy options” and “the staff is always very friendly and courteous”? (Insider Pages) Or that Hank’s Fine Furniture, with a whole bunch of locations in the South, has been repeatedly voted “the Best of the Best place to buy furniture in Arkansas, [...]
I’ve been writing the Roof Rack Report for over three months now, and I’ve gotta say, the feedback has been a-mazing. Listen to this comment: You should take part in a contest for one of the best blogs on the web. I will recommend this site. Sweet! That one comes from a follower called “Where [...]
