Atticus Uncensored

The tragedy in Newtown is a week behind us, but will be seared in our memories for a lifetime.  There’s been a lot of talk around the reasons and causes of such a horrific act.  Talk is cheap.  Talk is negative, divisive and sometimes downright crazy.  My big ears pick up on all the...

I’ve never talked about a product before, or endorsed one.  Well, I have penned book reviews (this dog loves to read!) and I suppose those could be considered endorsements, but this is new for me. Mama got her paws on a cool gizmo and I can’t stop barking about it.  The Neato XV-21 robotic...

I watch mama from heaven all the time and I believe she’s invented a new catch-phrase.  The other angels and I are digging it and hope this string of words catches on. A couple of weeks ago mama was on a conference call when Timmy E and Wilbur began misbehaving badly.  Timmy was running...

It’s been awhile since I’ve communicated from heaven.  I know, I know… Every blog you follow, at some point, will have a lull in publishing and they begin a new post with “I haven’t blogged in awhile…”  I apologize for my internet absence, but furry angels get busy and sidetracked too. I actually penned...

We’ve heard the President and his opponent talk about (and talk around) taxes, wars, domestic policies, Wall Street and even Big Bird.  But there’s one subject both candidates won’t touch with a ten-foot leash:  gun policies. We, the collective we as a country, rally to raise funds for destructive diseases like ALS, breast cancer,...

I’ve been a sad angel the past couple of days.  I’m sad for half of the American public who were disrespected by one of our presidential candidates.  And sad that there’s not much this furry angel can do to change things. I’d like to stress a Universal truth (coming straight from the Big Dog);...

“Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson I penned a piece over the weekend about the attack on the embassies and consulates in Egypt and Libya and Romney’s unprecedented and quick-to-fire response.  I didn’t publish it because the reaction from people across the globe...

Mama made a delicious & nutritious grilled veggie pizza the other night, posted a picture of it on Facebook and folks were asking for the recipe, so I’m bringing it to you.  This is a sauceless pizza, but you won’t miss it! Here’s what you’ll need: Whole wheat pizza crust, single serve size. Mama...

Candidates have always exaggerated their accomplishments, diminished their failures and have made promises that can’t possibly be fully realized.  This election year, however, we’ve seen slight exaggerations become flat-out lies.  We’ve seen facts ignored and fantasies mixed and match to fit agendas.  As a heavenly creature, I cannot condone the false statements I witnessed...

Mama and the four-legged family moved to new digs this weekend.  Change of place with flowing space.  Change of attitude with abundance of gratitude.  It’s all good.  Pawsome, in fact! Our old home was a good spot to transition, but it was time to move on and expand.  We were getting pretty crowded in...
