The Comedian
My brother Tug loves to take center stage
He thinks he is a real comedian
I find it best to sit in the background and just smile
I know there's enough love to go around at our house for everyone
A Change of Pace
Back to the ferns
And the cool dark woods
Where we can hunt for chipmunks
To our heart's delight
See you all next week
Adoration and the Photobomber
Tug goes a bit cuckoo when the boys come home
He carries on talking and crying and then looks adoringly in their eyes
Yes, Im happy to see them too but I show a bit more restrain than him
Mom, Mom, hey Mom
.. shes looking at the boys adoringly too
On a Mission
The speciality at the beach the other day was crab legs
Tug was on a mission to see how many he could gobble down before he was put back on the leash.
I think he found them all because mom and dad never did hook him back up
Were heading up north so I guess he figured he needed to fill up on omega 3
The Talk
Dad had to have a heart to heart talk with my brother at the beach again
It was about not eating fish bones and mussels
Tugs a pretty good listener when being talked to
He makes you think he understands exactly what you want him to do
Then he turns around and does exactly what he wants to do
Ive heard the talk so many times I just look at mom and roll my eyes
Always Room For One More
Ill bet you think there are only four of us here
Of course you know me, Della and Ryder
Thats Brooke right next to me
Shes almost fifteen years old and she still comes to the park with us
If you look closely behind Brooke you can see another little face
Thats Chloe, shes a tiny, little thing
Apparently she didnt want to sit up front because she saw how Ryder and I were squishing Della
Windy
Della: Hey, Little Brother...did you not hear mom call to us?
Tug: I heard her Della but Im busy and with it being so windy I can pretend I didnt hear her.
Della: Youre looking for fish bones again arent you?
Tug: Of course I am.
Della: You realized dont you that your butt skirt is being blown around and looks rather funny.
Tug: Ill have you know Miss Della that those are my pantaloons and I think they look rather cool blowing in the wind.
The Joys Of Springtime
My glasses make me look very studious
Which makes me feel very curious
You might think I look humorous
Or maybe even a little lugubrious
Moms clicking from the ground and a bit dubious
Because now she kind of hurt her gluteus
The Devil Made Me Do It
We were up at our woods in the Berkshires this weekend
Della and I had some wild and crazy runs in the snow
I always turn around and watch Della when I pass her
Shes an old lady now you know
When asked why I kicked snow in her face
I replied, The Devil Made Me Do It
Soulful Dogs
You Know the saying by Ted Grant that says
When you photography people in color
You photograph their clothes
But when you photograph people in black and white
You photograph their souls
The same is true for dogs
Highly Food Motivated
We have been taught its always polite to shake hands when meeting someone
We often practice when we go to the beach
My brother Tug excels at this activity
Guess why
..it involves food
The Look of Love
Pull all you want Tug
Ryder and I have been best friends since before you were born
He is my forever Valentine
