Sunday is National Hiking Day. However, despite our not so subtle hints, Mom and Dad have been in a slump lately and we haven’t gone on many hikes. Therefore Asa figured out a way to really get their attention by writing an inspirational ode to the activity dogs love the most set to the tune […]

As soon as I entered the garage my delicate nose was assaulted by the smell of death. Someone had died! But who? How? And most importantly where is the body? This smells like a case for Detective Chuck Billy! I immediately secured he crime scene by locking Asa in the house. I know every great […]
