The weather is warm and it's time to get active again. I like bicycle riding...and that is exactly what I do, ride while someone human is pedaling. I can only imagine that even a simple machine like a bicycle can be difficult to maintain or repair

I was walking around the downtown Georgetown square not too long ago, sniffing around light posts and fire hydrants as I have done many times. But I just noticed some remarkable utilitarian creations that I had easily overlooked many times before. At

As a dog, I prefer to keep it simple with a couple of daily walks to get my exercise. It gives me the opportunity to check out what other dogs may have crossed the same path and I love the wind in my fur. Exercise can be more like play if you romp through
