And another great gift, is that my pups love to sit under my piano or on the couch in the living room when I play Mozart or Chopin ♥️🎹♥️

Every night when I go to bed, Clara has been curling up at the foot of our bed. Though lately, she sneaks up while I'm sleeping, and is snuggled up next to my head every morning. Yup, Clara is officially a daddy's girl! ♥️😀♥️

My sweet girl Clara has been with us for less than a month, and is happy and right at home. 🌞 Clara is smart, and was house trained in about 2 weeks! She has become best friends with Franzi, though also plays with Chico, and loves her brothers. I'm sure Wally would love her, and I am so blessed! 🙏♥️

Clara's doing very good on her house training, and hasn't pottied in the house in 6 days. She's also learning to sit and stay, and I'm working at getting her to stay in the yard. Tonight I'm teaching her how to drive, and Franzi & Chico are jealous. ♥️😀♥️

As Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a cold winter is approaching (and ALL year round!), let's please remember those in need that do not have all the blessings of basic needs that many of us have. 🙏❤🙏

I made my first pot of pasta Monday with this new bite-size rigatoni I bought, and it's awesome! 🇮🇹 The pasta cooked up Al dente and tasty. I added my sauce, cheese, garlic and basil, seasoned meat and hot Italian sausage on top, and mixed it gently. I stuffed myself for the Chiefs game! ♥️🍲🏈🇮🇹

Hi friends! ♥️ It's been 2 weeks since my sweet boy Wally passed away, and it's been a tough time for me. I am blessed that God brought this sweet girl Clara to our home and family. In less than a week, Clara has become a beloved member of our family, and Daddy's little girl! 🙏🥰🙏

The Chiefs are killing it today! 🏈😀🏈 My babies Chico, Franzi, and Clara are chilling, enjoying treats, and snuggling with their dad on this lazy and rainy Sunday! ♥️🥰♥️

Hi friends! 🥰 I am missing Wally incredibly, and always will. Though I decided after he passed 2 weeks ago, to find another baby to bring home to love. Please let me introduce you to Clara, named after Clara Schumann, famous 19th century concert pianist and composer. More to come soon! 🙏♥️🙏

I was leaving this afternoon to take Franzi and Chico to the park, and found this huge almost 3 lb apple pie at my door with a nice note. An elder neighbor lady left the pie thanking me for pressure washing her front steps and sidewalk last week. Isn't that "sweet?" Pun intended! 😀♥️🥧

I will always remember my wonderful Dad sitting comfortably in my large home in Florida, enjoying fancy mixed nuts, a good meal, good bourbon, and saying to me, "Son, when I grow up, I want to be just like you." 😂 My parents raised me well, and were very proud of me. 🙏❤️🙏

My Music Shoppe was hired to provide sound for three country rappers and a DJ running tracks. Would that genre of music be called "crap?" I'm just asking.😂 For some reason, the performance didn't happen, so I just sat there while the DJ played music. That's why I always get paid in advance! 💲😂😆😳

I finished all the pressure washing and cleaning of my property and outdoor furniture, sanded and restained my deck, and fixed broken pickets on my fence. Now I can hopefully enjoy working on my music, watching football, and taking care of my pup Wally this Autumn and Winter. 🙏♥️🙏

Many of you know my Wally was diagnosed with kidney disease in August 2024. I did a ton of research, changed his diet, found medications, and the past year has been a gift. The past few weeks, Wally started becoming lethargic again. Your prayers for my baby boy would be greatly appreciated. 🙏♥️🙏

I pressure wash my property every 3 years. I missed cleaning last year because I was taking care of my pup that was ill. This week I pressure washed my drive, deck, porch, sidewalks, fence, sheds, and I still have to re-stain my deck and fix some pickets on my fence. This is a lot of work! 😳♥️

The old big screen TV in my Man Cave died and I replaced it with a nice flat screen and TV stand in time for football season. The old TV lasted 25 years, but the new LED TV is nicer, and has a great picture. I was able to get rid of the rat's nest of cables and HDMI adapters from the old TV. 🏈😄🏈

Franzi, Chico, Wally and I took a little walk in one of our favorite parks last night about an hour before sunset. It was a beautiful evening, and my babies love being out in nature! 🌞🥰🍁

"OREO, 7 CHICKENS, AND A DUCK" 🐓🦆🌞
My mechanic friend has a huge yard and a chicken coop, and my pups love visiting there. The big black and white rooster Oreo, and my Franzi take turns chasing each other around the yard. ♥️😄🌞

When I came to America from Austria, I discovered NFL football, and I never returned to soccer. 😄 I live in NE Ohio, and follow the Browns, though there are other teams that are my favorites. My Chiefs lost their first game Friday, but the new TV in my man cave and my hot wings were great! 🏈🏈😄
