10 Reasons We’ve Ended Up With The World’s Most Bougie Dog

We got the first delivery of a monthly subscription of dog toys & treats called “Woof Pack” today and as I thought about how neither myself (“Beer of the Month“) nor Shea (“Wine of the Month“) or Pace (“Soda Pop of the Month“) or Sasha (“Japanese Snack of the Month“) have ever had a subscription […]

This is how I want to go out too… …but maybe with some Motley Crue?

Artificial Intelligence Charlie Echo Versus The Real Thing

Back in December, I was playing with AI generated images and Sasha suggested “Charlie in the Snow.” This is one of the images it came up with and it felt appropriate today with the late April snowstorm we’re enduring… I didn’t get any pics today (kids took him out walking tonight instead of Shea or […]

Secular Sunday – SNL Alum Victoria Jackson Goes on Rant Saying Her “Loving” God Hates LGBT+ People

The hypocrisy is strong with this one as she tells a local city council meeting that the Bible tells her that God hates “pride” but also ends by warning people to avoid being brainwashed. (And as a side note, I legitimately don’t know how she ever got on SNL as I never found her very […]

My Childhood Best Friend Wins $55 Million! (Well, A Guy I Kinda Sorta Remember Anyhow)

Okay, maybe he wasn’t my childhood best friend but he was somebody from my hometown whose family and mine did do stuff together occasionally before they moved to BC. But I should back-up… I still distinctly remember a conversation when I worked for the Sask Publishers Group around 20 years ago when we were chatting […]

Secular Sunday – He/Him Is Risen

It is absolutely [chef’s kiss.gif] that this writer for Briarpatch chooses to announce they are trans, their name is now Alex, and they are using he/him pronouns while using #HeIsRisen as a hashtag on Easter Sunday. Long time Birrellheads may have noticed that my byline has changed. This is because I'm trans! I'm using he/him […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The Greatest Saskatoon Blade of All-Time (March 2015)

Sasha and I got to meet Wendel Clark at “Hometown Hockey” in Regina back in 2015.  (Even had a funny exchange with a hero from my childhood.) Kinda funny that his junior numbers weren’t amazing (he’s no Connor Bedard, that’s for sure!) but I suspect it was actually his PIM which helped him go first […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Wonder What Their Tourism Slogan Is? (February 2008)

Given our province’s recent track record, “Access One” would probably be good enough and they wouldn’t even need to make a new sign!

Charlie-Related Google Searches

Since we got Charlie, Google has been our constant source of tips, information and reassurances.  Here’s a sample of some of our Charlie-related searches: “How long do puppies sleep at night?” “Can dogs eat strawberries/celery/tomatoes/raw meat/noodles/potato chips/jalapenos/rice/pancakes/potatoes, etc. etc.” “Why do dogs like to eat Kleenex?” “What is a natural laxative for dogs?” “Do dogs […]
