Rabbit Hole 0

Posted on June 29, 2020 by Tom Bont

I need her to not be scared when I have visitors at the house. I'm not going to say that today was a total … Continue reading Ellie Mae at the Office

Ellie Mae

Posted on October 14, 2019October 15, 2019 by Tom Bont

After having put down our last dog, Lex, I've been teasing myself by going to the shelters around my hometown, looking at the dogs. I'm not sure if I was truly looking for one, but I was playing with them, taking them for walks, donated puppy and dog food. I finally found one that seemed … Continue reading Ellie Mae

The Measure of a Dog

Posted on July 12, 2019 by Tom Bont

How do you measure the worth of a dog? By every metric I can think of, my black and tan standard Dachshund, Lex Bont the Wonder Dog, was not the best dog I've ever owned. Not by a long stretch. He was a hard-headed cuss that took years to house train and then, for the … Continue reading The Measure of a Dog
