If you’ve been a visitor for a while, you may recall Joy Ziemnick sharing photos of their Old English Sheepdog, Sherlock. Sadly, he passed away earlier this year. But Joy and Jim felt they were ready for another new pup, so we’re introducing you to Goofy, an energetic, cuddly Sheepadoodle dog. He was 16 lbs. when they got him, and then at 15.5 weeks he was already 26 lbs. Joy said he can get up to 75 lbs, so he’s going to be a BIG boy. She describes him as delightful and said he even sleeps through the night. He’s still teething so that photo of him hiding with the shoes, is a reminder to watch those shoes. The bottom photo is a big, stuffed Sheepdog that Joy and Jim were gifted years ago and Goofy likes to lay by his new buddy, how cute is that?

Visit Keweenaw shares a timely reminder for us about Pasty Fest 2026. The lead-in says: “Ketchup VS Gravy – Choose your Kingdom: Hear ye, hear ye! Pasty Fest returns August 14-16 to the historic Main Streets of Calumet, Michigan! Pasties, medieval knights, competitions—put this down as Michigan's quirkiest summer food festival! Don your finery and make haste for the Keweenaw!” For more information, click here: Pasty Fest 2026

I love these pics of Goofy!
Does that make me daffy?
And a pleasant video.
It’s nice to watch people
having fun.

Omgosh, I could just squeeze that puppy. He is so
adorable.

Pasty fest is coming up already. It feels like
summer just started and it's mid-August.

That pup is just adorable! And sleeping with his
buddy, that is so cute!

Cool vid!

Awww it appears Goofy has not only settled in,
he has taken over the place lol! So happy for
Joy and Jim :)
Hope you all have a great time at PastyFest!

Hi
Indeed a cute puppy. The picture of him in the chair
makes me wonder if he's going to try and sit on a
person's lap. Not a large problem now but it will be a
problem when he's large. ;>)

I just got back from Cheboygan Tuesday. I was able to
see a few Perseid meteors Monday night.
