While I was paying for our pet photos with Santa at the mall, Asa got distracted and wandered off. He saw an “Amazing Pip” sign in a store window, and wondered if the stuffed animals inside knew his UK friend, Pip, too. Asa eventually got the hint and ran off to make new friends in […]
Asa here. While Chuck Billy continues to bask in the glory of finally being friends with Santa, I thought I’d share with you my exciting tale about getting my picture taken with that jolly old elf. My pet photos with Santa was truly a rollercoaster ride of emotions, that ended beyond by wildest dreams. Now […]

I’m all for spreading holiday cheer, but I wish these carolers would do it someplace else! The Coyotes have been out in force wandering our neighborhood, and their proximity to our home makes me nervous. It all started last weekend, when we couldn’t help but notice in the light coating of snow that blanketed the […]
I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes! A stuffed animal came to life at this weekend’s Santa Paws Fest for Lucky Pup Rescue! Here is Asa’s version of this magical experience as sung to the tune of “Frosty the Snowman.” Lucky the stuffie Was a jolly happy soulWith two […]
