On putting your foot in it, as usual With Valentine's Day just round the corner, a heart-warming tale for you on this Friday the 13th. My old mate Baz had a bit of a problem with quality control. While I was picky about the young ladies (and rarely got a date as a result), Baz was only interested in...

I looked up from reading email to see this fellow out in the yard. I took as many pictures as I could through my tiny windows, but he stepped off into the sticks (his food) pretty quickly. His mama is out there somewhere, so the dogs will have to cross their little legs until I'm sure it's s...

First, you have to realize that it was -25°F today. So the dogs weren't exactly feeling like playing all that much. In fact, if you watch Ole closely, you'll see him actually stand on his front two feet for a second! But both dogs are adapted and used to these temperatures and as you can se...

That's right! A FROZEN APPLE! One day an apple fell out of my groceries in the back of the pickup and I found it a week later, all frozen. I put it out by the bird feeder, thinking they might enjoy a little fruit. They are smart about pecking at things, but this was beyond little chickadee beaks...

I used to have a (semi-crazy) uncle who typically began conversations with lame jokes or bad riddles. This sounds like one he might have used had he lived long enough: What do Thomas Jefferson, a moose, and cyberspace have in common? The answer to that question can be found in a new book, In Search ...

The great outdoors men and women of the rugged west are an interesting breed. They hunt. They fish. Communities are often more eager to euthanize unwanted pets than place them. In other words - they kill and seem to have little compunction about doing so. Not being a hunter, especially in this day o...

Christian Walz The Corner Sony BMG Småsvängigt, men kallt från Christian Walz. Barry Manilow The Greatest Songs of the Eighties (album) Sony BMG Smör-Barry sjunger hits från åtti och lyckas nästan få det att låta som det dessutom är producerat på 80-talet. Ostigt är ett ord som kommer up...

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images New York Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina is calling it quits after a brilliant 18-year career.  Sure, the Moose very well might take his 270 career victories, 17 consecutive seasons with 11 or more wins, and 2,813 strikeouts to the Hall of Fame one day; but for Yankee...

Oh, I'm sorry, wrong video. Word comes today (and earlier this week) of a, ya gotta give'em that they got spirit, a Sarah Palin Fan Club, of sorts, the Our Country Deserves Better PAC , and they are not waiting. They love The Wasilla Whiz Kid and they want to let everybody know it. Group Makes Suppo...

Ole's foster mom crate trained him before he took his big airplane rides up to Alaska. He doesn't love being in the crate, but he loves looking for "cookies" inside it! I fed him in his crate for quite some time and only recently stopped because I moved the crate upstairs so I coul...
