Why Are They Going……
…….. I for one have been born and bred to honor the oath of the great Cairn terriers and that is to honor and defend all poultry and fowl from all enemies fox or not to our death. So here and now I tip my hat and soul to the duties that lay before me… »
Look’in Good!
Hello my good friends!
Last time we talked I was giving you the wrap up on the wonderful Loudoun County Fair.
I know that now many of you are off on your last family vacation before the new school year begins. How do I know these things you ask? Because I have missed many of… »

America’s Economy and Open Decision Making
From Forbes: “The top six bank holding companies earned an aggregate of $51 billion in pretax income in 2009. We’re talking about JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and Wells Fargo. All of this pretax income can be attributed to their trading revenues of $59.7 billion.

Storm’n on Through!
Well here I am, back in the saddle again. This week I am diverging from my story book (which I hope to have in real print later this year … so you will just have to wait to read “The Rest of The Tails” (as the great Paul Harvey would say).
But right here, right now… »

Sushi’s Adventure Continues
That evening;
“You are the bravest and mightiest Cairn Terrier ever” was still singing in my ears.
The girls ascended the farmhouse stairs, taking Tiki and me with them. We all curled up together in bed, thanking God for each other and our wonderful Lulu Belle. I was one worn - out little pup. Quite frankly… »
My First Hunt continued
It was in the early hours just before dawn. Tiki had silently hopped from the bed upstairs, and then I heard her yip, “Sushi! Little man! Little man! Something bad is outside. Don’t you hear Lulu Belle barking?”
I thought that Lulu Belle must be very big by the size of that bark. I uncurled myself… »

The Night I Arrived!
The night was quiet and dark. Laino tossed and turned in bed. She was having bad dreams about the Sly One.
“Bernie, you awake?”
“Yep,” Bernie replied.
“Bernie, I’m scared, how about you?”
Bernie could not sleep either. The two sisters tiptoed down the long, dark hall of the farm house towards the room of Mr. and Mrs…. »
Fossil Fuels
One of the strangest anthropogenic global warming denialist arguments is that there may not be enough fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) to cause the worst case scenarios described in the IPCC report [1]. It is strange for two reasons. The first is that unlike other denialist objections, there is actually credible… »
Tails from May 26
Lady Miss Gracious really had a fright last week when she did not obey Lord Percy’s call to return to the barn yard. You can only imagine what went through Bernie and Laino’s minds for two little girls to witness such a close call!
Bernie and Laino ran back to the house, with Laino reaching… »
