Harvey, affectionately known as “Harvey-Me-Boy” and “My Little Sugar Man” crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 17, 2019. Born on October 21, 2003, Lehr wanted to name him “Falcon” after the Humphrey Bogart film, “The Maltese Falcon.” Sounding too predatory for this two-pound fluff-ball puppy, he was named after the imaginary life-sized rabbit in the … Continue reading

I sat down with a turkey sandwich, tall glass of blackberry iced tea and the weekly small town newspaper. As I settled in, Dogzilla jumped on the table out of nowhere, like in a … Continue reading
