Dad, how can you be so inconsiderate? Why are you denying Asa’s dream of becoming an archeologist? For years he has studied every episode of the British television series Time Team, to learn the proper digging technique. In fact, Asa is convinced that buried somewhere in our yard is a forgotten Roman villa complete with […]
Dogs, do you enjoy going to the beach? Do you want to continue to be welcomed at Maine beaches? Then we all must do our part to protect the Piping Plovers! Piping Plovers are the small birds seen flitting across the shoreline. They nest above the high water mark, in the dry sandy areas, often […]
Asa and I are buzzing with excitement because our new Honey Bees have arrive safe and sound to their new hive. As with previous years, these Honey Bees are from an apiary in Georgia. A fellow beekeeper did the long roundtrip drive from Maine to Georgia to pick them up and deliver them. They arrived […]
Today’s Earth Day message is brought to you on behalf of honey bees and dogs. In the spring humans go through great lengths trying to have the “perfect” lawn. However, have you stopped to consider how imperfect perfection is, and what harm it is doing to the environment? By covering lawns and gardens in pesticides […]

I demand a rematch! Our kibble hunt on Sunday was clearly rigged. Every year the Easter Bunny breaks into my home and hides my kibble in the living room. I have made it very clear that I do not like the rabbit hiding my food, much less touching it. Yet he still manages to slip […]
The spring backyard building boom has begun! I’ve been watching the birds and other critters hard at work making nests. I’ve also seen a lot of posts lately of dogs sharing their fur to help their feathered friends. However, I want to caution that NOT all dog fur is safe to leave out for birds! […]
On April 18, 2014, just after 9:00 PM, our brother Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge. But this post is NOT about when he left us. Instead, today I am sharing Mom and Dad’s memories of when Lemmy came home on January 25, 2007. Lemmy was their first dog, and they talk about those fond memories with […]
Ruh! Roh! Mom is searching for the bunny ears. It must be that time of year again when dog owners lose their minds. Don’t they know it is humiliating to dress us up as rabbits? After all, our innate wolf instincts clearly tell us we should be hunting rabbits, not masquerading as them! Luckily for […]

Better than your average Dust Bunny, these one of a kind works of art will make your Easter holiday soft and fuzzy! Just image the hours of enjoyment making this treasured gift, and the surprise of your loved ones […]
