Category: Pearl Bailey, The Dog

I have a dog that dreams.  No, I do not mean occasionally, I mean constantly.  When she’s not awake stalking and devouring lizards, she is dreaming.  Now, if you are inclined to believe, this diva has a flair for the dramatic.  The theatrics that accompany her slumbered visions are nothing short of a performance.  She

Granted, I am a storyteller at heart, but honestly folks, you just can’t make this sh*t up. Pearl Bailey for the most part has been behaving. Yes, she has gotten dirty, but nothing out of the ordinary (by her standards not mine). I will say that her slight behavior modification is probably due to the

A cooler air has finally dropped down to the Sunshine State. Here on the Suncoast, we are waking to temps in the 50’s. Now, where temps in the 50’s are considered balmy in the northern states, down here in Florida that’s down right frigid! Feeling cold in 50 degree temperatures is a definitive sign that

Without the benefit of a fenced area

Another day, another dollar and another morning hour spent in exasperation with Miss Pearl Bailey. So, this morning Her Majesty shows up looking like waif. I mean, how does she do it? I looked down at her with dismay and said “Is this to be your Halloween costume – are you going as a One-Eyed

There’s been a homicide down in Shangri-la, and Pearl Bailey is a prime suspect. Don’t be fooled by her bashful eye movements, it’s only her attempt at feigning a look of innocence! On our morning stroll to do business, I was down in the back yard with Pearl Bailey when I discovered a gaping hole

Oh calm down, you know I have a propensity for grabbing an attention seeking headline. Ella is alive and well, don’t worry. Pearl Bailey, however, is on restriction! This morning while I was culling through my northern attire in an effort to perhaps pass-on to the needy some items to keep them warm in the

For those of you just tuning in, I am the owner of an insanely beautiful yet slightly deranged English Crème Retriever named Pearl Bailey. The name derives from the fact that she is a lustrous crème color and her name was Bailey when I adopted her. But it also stems from my love jazz and
