Hi Friend, 2 years ago Spike tore her cranial cruciate ligament in her left knee. She had surgery at Eclipse Specialty Surgical & ER in New Jersey. Excellent people if you live in the tri-state area. Dr. Miller, Spike's surgeon, told us she had a 50% chance of
Hi Friend, Rapid snow melt in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Days like this only the dedicated dog people are out. We are a special few. I just got done recording the podcast with Erik of the Root Simple podcast. It was a good reason to touch base. And today I started
This is Spike after getting her CBD chews, ready for the car ride to BKLN. (info below) When I first started this second email for the newsletter, I called it Cool Stuff, to share other people's vids, posts, and gear that I think you might find interesting. But
Hi Friend, Had to cut trails in the yard for the Labs to go outside last weekend. Running the snowblower is such a satisfying thing for me. You are one with the machine. That annoying thing that guy said yesterday stops running on the hamster wheel in your head while
Hi Friend, Above is about 130 lbs of Labrador who love to jump on your bed when you are trying to sleep. Sometimes Andy asks to jump up. Spike does not. Finally a break in the cold, that if you live North, you have experienced. Last week one day almost

Hi Friend, OK the snow hasn't melted yet. But Andy & Spike are fine with that. Lots of rolling in the snow, and eating it. Do your pups eat snow? Do you? I do. GF Radio: Rick's Flaming Bags Of Dog Poop. Rick titled this episode
Hi Friend, Brooklyn has snow. And Andy likes the snow. There you go, that's the shortest opening paragraph of the newsletter ever. But here in the second paragraph we'll talk about how Prospect Park has closed the dog beach for the season. On the morning walk
Hi Friend, Here is Spike at the dog beach in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. We are here most BKLN mornings. Soon the Parks Dept. will close the beach for the winter, else less than smart people will try to walk on the ice. But every morning we walk here, knowing one
Hi Friend, Behind Spike is some really cool bespoke peel and stick wallpaper from an artist on Etsy. I did not make a video about this as it was a stressful challenge to hang the wallpaper on 130 yr old walls that are not square or plumb. TLDR - Buy
Hi Friend, First snow up at the house. Kinda sorta dusting, but it was actual snow. And because my lawnmower/leaf mulcher is being repaired (video to come) the snow is on top of all the oak leaves. Nice. Of course, the cold and frost days came faster than I
