“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: LOST MY MANHOOD: SO GLAD TO BE AT HOME!

LOST MY MANHOOD: SO GLAD TO BE AT HOME! Bob was up at 06:00 which is unusual. I ordinarily tell him, in my way, up and at em because it is time to perform my ablutions. Even stranger he had a bowl with a spoon coated in peanut butter ready for me to lick cleanContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: LOST MY MANHOOD: SO GLAD TO BE AT HOME!”

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: A Rory Puppyism: Silence is Golden!

A Rory Puppyism; Silence is Golden! SILENCE IS GOLDEN: I am free to “explore” my surroundings in peace and quiet without observant and often disapproving human commentary. This may include “accidents”, chewing what puppies aren’t supposed to chew and jumping on the sofa. Silence rarely is infinite as suspicions are aroused quickly when I disappear.Continue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: A Rory Puppyism: Silence is Golden!”

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: Am I Being Sent to Military Academy?

Am I Being Sent to Military Academy? The regime of enforced naps is dissipating. As I progress into six months of age I am gaining stamina and perhaps at most have two short naps instead of the four of my early puppydom. I am now more of a power napper. Bob says this means moreContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: Am I Being Sent to Military Academy?”

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: DOES RORY DYLAN STEPHEN REQUIRE AN INTERVENTION?

DOES RORY DYLAN STEPHEN REQUIRE AN INTERVENTION? Some readers have asked what is my diet? My basic chow (not Olivia Chow tax loving mayor of Toronto) is chicken kibble. I eat at free will as opposed to set feeding times. That suits me just fine. Polish it off with cold clean water and I’m goodContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: DOES RORY DYLAN STEPHEN REQUIRE AN INTERVENTION?”

Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: WHY IS BOB MUTTERING LIKE COLONEL KURTZ IN APOCALYPSE NOW?

WHY IS BOB MUTTERING LIKE COLONEL KURTZ IN APOCALYPSE NOW? Aside from scoring human food like bits of bagel or today’s blueberry I live in anticipation of the next walk. After suffering puppy quarantine for not being fully vaccinated for the last three months it is 3-5 walks a day in mushy slush, powdery snow,Continue reading “Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: WHY IS BOB MUTTERING LIKE COLONEL KURTZ IN APOCALYPSE NOW?”

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY CONTEMPLATES HIS DESTINY AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY

RORY CONTEMPLATES HIS DESTINY AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY I was born late August 2025 in Denfield, Ontario. I have 4 brothers and sisters all destined to leave the warmth and protection of their mother to play in the lottery of life.

RORY’S POSEIDON ADVENTURE Bob and I watched “The Poseidon Adventure” with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters the other day on Turner Classic Movies. A passenger ship sinking!

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC!

RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC! I had been listening to radio and television advertisements promoting a revival of the musical “The Sound of Music”. Bob groans in pain hearing the refrain, “….climb every mountain” and on occasion he howls like a wolf after he listens to it. Well I find it catchy. IContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC!”

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: BRAVE NEW WORLD

BRAVE NEW WORLD As a FOB, as all puppies are, life graduates in excitement day after day assuming you have caring and attentive masters. Arriving at Bob and Fay’s house was an eyeopener after being born in a kennel. The backyard was a new world of sights and smells. Chasing squirrels is a thrill. RunningContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: BRAVE NEW WORLD”

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: THE HOLY GRAIL CALLS BUT I KNOW NOT WHY

THE HOLY GRAIL CALLS BUT I KNOW NOT WHY Today it is my third walk around the block. I met Remy for the first time who is three times my size but so very calm. She let me sniff her. Jump on her side. All this was exciting. I am seeing the outside world andContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: THE HOLY GRAIL CALLS BUT I KNOW NOT WHY”
