As you know, I take my job as guard dog very serious. Not to brag, but I have protected my family from Squirrels, Deer, and the occasional UPS delivery guy. However, never before has anyone brazenly broke into my home like the winged intruder who tormented my family yesterday! Oh sure people from away think […]
At times Asa may steal my thunder. However together we make a formidable team that the ladies can’t resist. On Saturday we were enjoying a quiet evening in the historic gardens at Hamilton House, when a group of human teenagers stumbled upon us. Instantly the girls surrounded us, cooing with delight as they petted Asa […]
For over two years now I’ve been invisible. Every time I venture out with Asa, people surround him while ignoring me. Initially I thought once Asa grew out of his floppy fluffy puppy stage, people would notice me again. But alas, he’s full-grown and people still don’t instantly acknowledge my presence. This led me to […]
Monday felt like Friday. Tuesday turned into an extended weekend. And now Wednesday is a Monday. I’m so confused! Fourth of July falling on a Tuesday has totally thrown my family’s routine into a state of chaos. The odd work week set Dad up for a rather embarassing moment on Monday.

And so it begins, dogs’ least favorite holiday, the 4th of July. It’s not even July yet, and the fireworks have already started! Seriously, fireworks on July 4th are bad enough.

Someday my Queen Bee will come…just not today. My Honey Bees have let me down again. The last time we checked the Chuck BEEly Hive things looked hopeful. The Queen cells were empty, there was plenty of Worker Bee brood comb, and honey production had increased. All signs that a new Queen had assumed the […]
Attention Dogs! Today is Take Your Dog to Work Day! Our one opportunity each year to prove to Humans that having Dogs in the workplace makes the world a better place. Ok, maybe not the world per se, but it does make for a happy work environment. There’s even proof! Studies by the International Journal of […]
I have to be honest with you. If Mom had a tail, lately it would be droopy. Oh sure she’s happy going on adventures with us. But I can tell she’s been missing our Grandpa (her Dad) and Lemmy. None of us guessed a year ago when we played with Grandpa on Father’s Day that […]
I got barked at…by Humans! No seriously, they barked at me like I was a Squirrel! I was enjoying a relaxing Sunday afternoon on my front lawn, while Mom searched the garden to see if any of the critters left her a strawberry or two. That’s when I heard in the distance someone yell, “Pothole,” […]
