Santa Paws is coming to town!
Opening ThoughtsWell, well, well, it’s that time again! Daddy has put up the holiday decorations, and I just can’t contain my excitement. I mean, I’ve already started my song: “Santa Paws is coming to town!” I’m hoping he brings lots of treats, maybe even some hot meat broth. A dog’s dream, right?Now, I have to admit, Daddy’s had a bit of an off week. He’s been dragging, struggling to stay motivated, and, well, taking paw... [More]

Brrr, Fun in the Outdoors
Opening Thoughts Another week, another newsletter. Daddy and I are doing well, we are even almost back to our pre-thanksgiving weight. That is a bit holiday magic, if you ask me and my flip flopping tail. Daddy has been busy working like always, but also working on his anxiety and figuring out how to get his ADHD routines and structure back in place. We have been exploring happiness and how it really aligns... [More]

We had a nice Thanksgiving, but I must say, I didn’t get as many turkey nibbles as I feel I’ve earned. Guess I’ll just have to keep perfecting my puppy dog eyes and begging technique. As always, Daddy has loads of leftovers for making his own homemade TV dinners. Fingers crossed he shares more of those with me—here’s hoping!With Christmas and Santa Paws just around the corner, let’s not forget what this season is truly... [More]

Scoutmaster Minute: Seeing Beyond the Mask
Scouts, as Halloween nears, we're surrounded by spooky stories and creatures of the night – witches, goblins, and ghosts, all in good fun.

But just like a strong tent needs sturdy stakes, our units need strong foundations to thrive. That foundation is you, the leaders, and the Scouts who make everything happen. As we look forward, it's important to... [More]

When I was younger, I got a whipping for wanting to be a Cub Scout. I got a whipping later as a Scout because I knew that I did something right, but to my mother, I disobeyed her. I stood there, repeating the Scout Law to myself, as my mother hit me with my father's Army web belt over and over, intoning that I "don't - lie - to your - parents!" It was the... [More]
