Since Richard doesn’t talk about these things…
And as immodest as it may be, I find that I must share my accomplishments, so that people just don’t think that I lay around and bask in the sun. Over the generations, I have become quite an accomplished tennis player. Decades of practice will allow one to do that, even a canine. …
I can’t get him to budge ….
You would think that one of of the challenges of jumping from 1750 to 2023 would be dress. How do you just appear in 2023 wearing clothes from 1750? In most places this would be a problem. In Williamsburg it is not. When you see an old man and an adorable Labradoodle sitting on the …
This is so exciting….
Jethro just told me he is going to move the Airstream to Savannah, Georgia in November of this year, 2023. While I have never been to Savannah, in 1760 I had a friend named Boozer. He was a 10 year old scruffy dog hanging around Chownings Tavern for scraps of food. Boozer used to …
The Canine Bubble . . . .
Welcome to my Bubble. Everything important to me is here. Richard, my food, familiar smells and my friends. Unless it is one of these, or something I need or I can control, it is outside my Bubble. Things outside my Bubble may be important, but since I cannot control them, I don’t …
I consider myself a renaissance dog . . . . .
For example, I write poetry. Let me recite one for you, a poem by Colonial Dutchess,, Richard is a darling man He used to practice law, He thinks he is the alpha , But He’s wrapped around my paw. He smiles each time I do a trick, He thinks it’s very neat, He doesn’t realize …
The Future of Spotswood….
Those of you that have followed my blog may remember Yorkie, the corgi who buried a bone found in a cemetery in the woods of Spotswood. for those of you, not from Williamsburg. Spotswood is a very controversial subject in the early stages of possible development. Many people are against it. I …
I woke up today and realized . . .
I am BARBIE. I think my 1760 life is charmed. No leash, no harness and undisturbed play with Richard. And he is very attentive by the way. In 1760, he is my Ken (He smiles when I say that ,because he likes being Ryan Gosling ). But now that I time travel, I have …
I find people’s thinking to be two dimensional….
Let me give you an example. Jethro has been thinking of only two things: Should he purchase his Airstream and where will he keep it. One the other hand, I have been thinking about who owns it. The Colonial Duchess Trust, makes sense to me; after all the security will keep me in the manner …

I find it interesting that. . .
Humans are so egocentric they think only they can communicate . Actually, most of us, and particularly canines are much better communicators. We use all of our senses. Our hearing is much more advanced and our sense of smell is a blessing and a curse. What I have learned is to let Richard believe he …
