About a month ago someone new moved into our neighborhood. No big deal, right? We have neighbors come and go all the time. Besides, this one seemed like a quiet fellow. Not like those nosy owls who are always asking “who?” every time I leave the house. Or the coyotes who are up all night […]
In honor of the Oscars, we would like to share with you again our post about the first dog to achieve fame in the movies. Long before Air Bud, Lassie, and even Toto and Rin Tin Tin, there was Jean, the Vitagraph Dog! Jean, a Collie from Eastport, Maine, was the first dog to have […]
If you’re looking at this because you’re interested in reading a bedtime story, well this isn’t the post for you. But if you want to read stories about bedtime with Asa, then grab a snack and get comfortable because I have tales to tell! For the past two weeks Mom and Dad have been keeping […]
Asa here. As the countdown to getting my stitches out on Monday continues, I’d like to dedicate this parody of Europe’s “The Final Countdown” to my brother, Chuck Billy. For the past two weeks, I’ve been getting more attention than usual from Mom and Dad, which has made Chuck Billy rather jealous. Ok, very jealous. […]
Dogs, gather round. We need to have an important talk on this Earth Day. It seems not everyone is getting the message on the importance of picking up the poop! According to multiple surveys, only 60 percent of dog owners clean up after their pets. 60 percent may seem like a good start, but it […]

It’s been over a week since Asa was abducted by a UFO while visiting Dr. Doug at the animal hospital. It had all the telltale signs of an Alien abduction – Asa was missing for hours and returned home with obvious signs that a medical procedure was conducted on him. So today, I, Chuck Billy […]
“Listen, my children, and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.” Alright, you won’t exactly be reading about the famous midnight ride of Paul Revere with us today. Instead follow us on a midday walk in the footsteps of the Minute Men and British Soldiers, who on April 19, 1775 engaged in […]
Seven years ago, on April 18, 2014, our brother, Lemmy, crossed Rainbow Bridge, at the age of 7 years old. Before he joined our family, Mom and Dad spent 7 years planning for Lemmy. So today we are reflecting on 7 years of preparation, 7 years of love, and 7 years of reflection. Longtime Coming: […]
Last week I shared how I surprised even myself by remembering my old nose work training, in “My Nose Still Knows.” Well a few dogs asked about my training and certification. So today I thought I’d share this post from 2016 where I explained my road to becoming a champion! Ok, I admit now that […]
