While Chuck Billy is preoccupied barking at Squirrels, I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about something that is important to me: mindful living. In many of his posts Chuck Billy accuses me of not grasping the seriousness of the situation, and I’ve overheard Mom and Dad call me “nosey” on more than one […]
Pardon me, but I’m feeling a bit sentimental today. While updating the website, I was struck by how much Asa has changed. Without realizing it, he has grown from a pesky little puppy to my best friend. Oh sure Asa is still annoying, goofy and downright embarrassing at times. But through it all I couldn’t […]
I wanted to give you an update on our adventures with the Wolf Spider and Field Mice from last week. First off, I’d like to sincerely apologize to the Wolf Spider. Turns out it wasn’t a male, but a female…expecting a litter of pups! I am honored that she chose our poop barrel to lay […]
The criminal investigation into the breaking and entering of our Honeybee hives all started innocently enough a week ago. One morning we noticed the mite boards on our beehives were pushed out. Dad thought it was just the wind, because the night before was very blustery. Mom worried the Wolf Spider had something to do […]
Adolescent Asa is eighteen months old! To celebrate this milestone once again he is singing his version of a classic rock anthem. This time he has changed the words to “I’m Eighteen” by Alice Cooper. To be honest, I’m getting use to Asa singing the wrong words. I just wish he’d wash off that ridiculous […]
Out there a fierce predator is lurking, and Mom won’t let us leave the house. This predator is known for being a “robust and agile hunter with excellent eyesight.” But he is more than a mere hunter, he is a Wolf…Spider! As you no doubt already know, Wolves come in all shapes and sizes. I’m […]
We got sprayed! Oh it is awful! We’ll never get that smell out! What do you mean skunks are bad, use tomato juice? It wasn’t a skunk. It was a cat! What?! No! It wasn’t us that got sprayed! It was Dad’s car! Seriously, did you really think we’d let a cat spray us? Dad […]
It is my responsibility to homeschool my little brother, and I have to admit I’ve been terribly negligent in his education in recent months. Luckily for me though, our pet Honeybees are a perfect learning opportunity! Lesson One: Nutrition! After enjoying a big bowl of kibble, Asa asked what do our Bees eat. Prepared for just […]
We played with Foxy Mama this morning! There we were plodding along on neighborhood patrol when standing in the road, blocking our way home, was Foxy Mama. She looked almost as surprised by us, as we were to see her. At first Asa mistook her for a cat, and wanted to play with her. But […]
A year ago I heard rumors about a place where Golden Retrievers of all ages could run and play at an event dedicated to them. I thought for sure it was an urban legend. Something parents tell their dogs to make them behave. As time progressed I was confident it was only a dream. How […]
