Sometimes I find it difficult to juggle my career as an up and coming rock star, with my obligation to continue my brother’s important research as a dog ufologist. However, other times, as luck would have it, both worlds collide. Case in point, recently I was at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire to see if the […]
Join me for a tale of two forts at Crown Point State Historic Site in New York. As mentioned in my earlier post about Lake George, control of the waterways was vital in the early history of this region. At Crown Point, Lake Champlain is at its narrowest, at just a quarter mile in width, […]
And so it begins, you hear a loud bang, maybe notice lights falling from the sky, and the air suddenly smells different. Your fight or flight instincts kick in. This is how many dogs respond to fireworks. It is also why sadly more dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day […]
Woo Hoo! We’re halfway there! Everyone knows that today, June 25th, marks the halfway point to Christmas! In just a mere 183 days Santa will be coming to visit! But did you know that the 45th Parallel marks the halfway point between the Equator and the North Pole, where Santa lives? And that the 45th […]

The Village of Lake George, in New York, is known for its restaurants, stores, steamboat cruises, and even parasailing.

When Chuck Billy crossed Rainbow Bridge in December, I promised I would add his name to the sacred walls of Dog Chapel at Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. On a cold and rainy June day my family began our long car ride there. While we drove we shared memories of Chuck Billy’s time enjoying […]
Alright dogs, listen up! This is not a drill! I have found where all our bacon dreams can come true! It is Oscar’s Adirondack Smoke House in Warrensburg, New York! While on vacation we stopped there because Dad saw the sign “Hams-Bacon,” and just had to investigate. At first it seemed like any other food […]
Apparently my choice in house sitters caused a bit of a commotion in my neighborhood while I was away on our trip. I tried to ask my squirrel friends to keep an eye on things, but they are always in such a rush I couldn’t pin them down for a commitment. In the past my […]
Back in November, when it was unfathomable for my family that there would come a time without him, Chuck Billy began planning his yearlong 13th birthday celebration.
