It is just too much trouble – not the dog, mind you – Yoshi is awesome on a leash. I taught him early and he is very controllable.

But as we walked through an alley we walk through often there was a lady in the garage with the garage door open, and a little bitty “yippy” dog. She was smoking a cigarette – the dog was doing dog stuff.

But just as we passed the home the outdoor floodlight lamp exploded – it was a loud boom, with a lot of flying glass.

I called out, asking if she was ok (since the circuit blew and the garage lights had also gone out).

“What did you do?!?!” she hollered.

“Nothing – I am just walking my dog”, I replied.

“Do you have a BB-gun?” she asked.

“No – just walking my dog”, I answer. And I keep walking.

I expect the police to show up at any time because – well, they sometime gravitate towards me. But they did not, and Yoshi and I made it home safely.

But that is two night is a row that walking my dog causes unusual questions.

So I think Yoshi will self-exercise in the back yard. It is 3/4 acre, so it should be sufficient. He will miss the neighborhood cats though. Except for the random stupid ones that come into the back yard.

Babble Soft, an Austin, TX based company, has teamed up with EmailOurMilitary to provide free accounts for Military Active Duty Dads this Father’s Day.

I like Babble Soft – I wish they were around 17-19 years ago when my kids were born.  I first learned of them just about a year ago, and they have been very kind and friendly.

And I love EmailOurMiltary – an organization that makes it easy for anyone to get involved directly with service men and women on deployment.  They offer a ton of value for our servicemen and women, and even more value to those who feel as if they should be doing something more to support our troops.

So if you are a young military parent go check this out – what a wonderful way to allow our troops to follow the lives of our youngest Patriots – and to see their children grow – no matter where they are.

 

Father’s Day is this weekend, June 15! I’d like to wish all the fathers out here a very happy Father’s Day filled with love and laughter. I’d also like to extend an invitation for new dads to try Babble Soft’s baby applications.

Times have changed. Now more than ever before, fathers are taking an increasingly hands on approach in the care and nurturing of their children, especially while they’re little.

For all those new military dads who can’t be there when their babies are born or who’ll have to ship out soon after, we’re proud to partner with BabbleSoft.com to offer FREE subscriptions to their applications. These applications are a great way to stay connected with your baby back home and keep up with its routine.
