This week in our continuing series on the Berkshires, we take you to the grounds of Herman Melville’s home, Arrowhead, located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts (780 Holmes Road). Built in the 1780s by Captain David Bush, this rambling farmhouse also served as a tavern along the busy road between Pittsfield and Lenox until 1844. After passing […]
Alright, some folks may have accused me of overreacting to those ginormous green caterpillars found in our garden yesterday. Oh sure the fact they can turn into moths may sound like no big deal to most, but I know first hand what happens if they team up! Let me remind you of the time our […]
I’m sure you’re wondering why on this beautiful, sunny, summer day, Asa and I are hanging out safe in my UFO bunker. Well at this very moment in our backyard, little green men… Asa: Or women, we’re really not sure. So let’s call them little green friends… Chuck Billy: Little green aliens have descended on […]
Today is National Dog Photography Day! A day that encourages dogs, photography enthusiasts, and all dog lovers to post as many photos of their dogs, guilt-free. However, Asa and I do admit there are times we do feel a little guilty when it comes to posing. Truth be told, we don’t always share the same […]

We cordially invite you to join us for a virtual walk on the grounds of Edith Wharton’s estate, The Mount, located in Lenox, Massachusetts. Designed by Edith Wharton, author of The Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome, The House of Mirth, and most notably for today’s post The Decoration of Houses, the house was built in 1902, and […]
Last week I was assigned light duty, because my patrol partner, Asa, also known as Bowling Ball, crashed into me. While I recovered from a slight limp, I had no choice but to allow him to carry on neighborhood patrol without me. Rarely anything happens on our daily patrols, so I thought what’s the worst […]
In recent months, some of my friends have welcomed puppies into their homes, and with that comes what I like to call “Invisible Dog Syndrome.” Suddenly, older dogs find themselves going from being the center of attention, to feeling like they are invisible. Dogs, this is by no means your fault! Therefore today I am […]
Asa here. I have to admit I wasn’t always paying attention on Chuck Billy’s quest for the Berkshires’ Bigfoot. Blame it on his incessant rambling about paranormal theories. Or perhaps it was because it was “Merry Movie Week” on the Hallmark Channel? Regardless my mind started wandering and I found myself writing my own Hallmark […]
