This Saturday, April 19, 2025, marks the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which marked the first military engagement of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. On that day militiamen from these two Massachusetts towns, surrounding communities, and as far away as Maine and Connecticut, confronted and stopped British troops marching from […]
Dire Wolves have been in the headlines lately with the claim by Colossal Biosciences that they brought them back from extinction. Some of you may recall that as a puppy, I proclaimed myself to be a Dire Wolf! To be honest, I’m not sure what inspired this belief that I’d grow up to be a […]
Hi Chuck Billy! Tomorrow will mark 4 month since you left, so I thought I’d give you an update. Something really strange happened here this week! Remember our friend, the repairman who visits every couple years to do maintenance on the water filter? Yeah, that nice guy, who always made sure we had the best […]
Today is National Siblings Day! It’s no secret that Angel Chuck Billy and I instantly made a great team. Unfortunately, the same was not true about Chuck Billy and our older brother, Angel Lemmy, when they first met. At the age of 5, Lemmy was set in his ways, and very much enjoying his status […]

Years ago my dear friend Angel Sheba gave me the nickname of “Agreeable Asa.” It was because I always just go with the flow, without making any fuss. Although recently this go with the flow attitude meant I had to ignore my own flow. Yesterday Mom had a migraine. So rather than her get up […]
Guess who’s back, back again? The Piping Plover are back! Tell a friend! Starting on April 1st, many beaches in Maine have very specific Dog Rules to protect these endangered tiny, sandy, grayish brown birds with white bellies, that bring delight as they scurry along the beaches. In the past Angel Chuck Billy has asked […]
Earlier this week I shared a song inspired by my new birdie friend who was making a nest in our wreath. Have no fear! Dad relocated the wreath to a quieter spot, and the new family has been seen continuing to build their nest in the new location. This got me thinking about another time […]
Yawn. Oh, please excuse me for being so rude by yawning. I’m very sleepy from yesterday’s adventure. It all started a couple nights ago. I was getting ready for bed, and Dad gave me treats. I thought it was odd, because Dad never gives me treats before bed. But hey, who am I to turn […]
