The good folks of greater Syracuse turned out in a big way for the annual Fourth of July Parade in Manlius this morning. My dear wife Karen and I brought Ellie B, aka Dogamous Pyle, to march along with happy pets and dogged owners from Dog Gone Doggy Day Car, in the Sno Top Plaza.…

Little by little, the garden has widened. It shouldered a big change last year after winter winds toppled the centerpiece olive tree. Karen…
On a blustery Eastwood stroll with dear Dogamous Pyle, aka Ellie B, we encountered two resting geese in Norwood Park. One quick bark later, they took flight on a beeline over our ducking heads.
