I recently read that the average life expectancy for men has declined to 73 years. That tidbit of trivia has continued to bounce around my brain. If the Social Security mandated retirement age is 67 years of age, then we work for 45 years or so and then live an average of six years in retirement? Ouch. My takeaway is …
W oof! For many, many sleeps, we have been away from our pack-den and my lake. You would think that I would be very sad about that, but I am actually having the time of my life! You see, a while ago my two-legged pack-dad, pack-mom and me got in our rolling box and went very, very far away. It …
Woof! Woof! I’m so excited that I just cannot contain myself! It happened again! I knew it would! When the Magic Tree comes to our house, sooner or later, the fun white stuff shows up outside on the ground! And I love it! Most of my two-legger friends know that I go swimming every day. I actually love swimming the …
Woof! Well, it happened again. It happened the last time the outside got cold – and the time before that, too. What happened? The Magic Tree came back. You see, when it gets cold outside, sometimes a tree appears in our house. I don’t think it grows on its own; I think my pack-dad and pack-mom bring it in. Now, …
Woof! I love being outside when it’s cold – like it is now. The colder the better for me! My two-legged pack-family takes me out to go swimming every day – no matter how warm or cold, but I like the cold best! When I go out to swim, my pack-family calls it, “Beau’s Throws.” It’s a thing!And the cold …
W oof! I have been worrying about this for a long time now. I have tried to ignore the evidence, but I just can’t. The smells… the looks on their faces… I can no longer deny it. I think my two-legged pack-dad and pack-mom are cheating on me. What the woof! It all started a couple of years ago when …
If you want to be in the best shape of your life and make friends in the process, the Lake Anna Running Club (LARC) may be for you! The group began as a Facebook group with over 70 runners signed up, LARC fills a void at Lake Anna as the first official running club. LARC runners meet every Monday and …
By Beauregard McCoy, translated by Jim McCoy W oof! It’s been a wonderful month at Lake Anna! I got to swim every single day – even when my pack-mom and pack-dad did their disappearing trick (more about that later). I also started eating a new food (which I love!) and last, but not least, I started teaching my two-legged pack …
Woof! I love my morning routine! I usually wake up before my two-legged pack family, but that’s okay because I’m happy to wake them up! All I have to do is stick my cold, wet nose into my pack-mom’s sleepy ear. Bada bing…wide awake! I have learned not to start with my pack-dad. He just rolls over and goes back …
Woof! I made a new friend! He was right in my front yard. He’s a four-legger… Kind of like me. But he’s pretty small. His little four legs are about as long as one of my toes! Anyway, I went out to do my business… and there he was just walking in my grass. My first thought was, “Hey…A new …
