Flashback Friday: Junior’s First Girlfriend
Today’s Flashback Friday is a column I wrote when Junior was in the first grade. You’ll be relieved to know that since he is now a teenager, he no longer spits on future girlfriends
Junior has discovered girls.

Flashback Friday: Before No-no Lulu, Kirby ruled
This Flashback Friday is from a few years ago, when Kirby was the only dog on Santa’s naughty list. Now, of course, we have added No-no Lulu, so Kirby looks like a freaking angel in comparison – MM
