Sophie, 1995-2006 There is one less bark greeting visitors to the Bracke household as of early this morning. Sophie, a.k.a. “The Blowfish,” after a long battle with kidney problems and digestive system issues, fell asleep in the morning hours of this autumn day in the company of her “Mom” Sally. Sophie would have been 11 [...]

It’s certainly time for an update on my dogs! Ernie and Rosco play together, which is really funny to watch because of their size difference. Ernie sometimes "escapes" from Rosco by just running under him. Rosco’s favorite move is to put his head kind of on top of Ernie’s back so that his (Rosco’s) neck [...]

A few weeks ago I got a roommate. He’s a pretty good roomie; he doesn’t tend to pick up after himself very well, though he’s more than happy to share his toys whenever he feels like playing. He doesn’t really help with food preparation, though he is thrilled with any opportunity to help clean up [...]

My uncles Lamont and John are “parents” again, this time to two adorable little girls: Augusta (Gussie) and Gertrude (Gertie). The black and tan one (who is sort of hiding her face) is Gertie. Gussie is the chocolate brown one. Little Gertie was formerly named Maxine, after one of my uncles’ previous pets, Maxine, who [...]
