Good Morning! I’m Chuck Billy with your backyard snow report. After much anticipation the first snow of 2024 has arrived, and for many it definitely lived up to the hype. With double digit totals that southern Maine has not seen in quite some time, dogs will certainly want to get outside and play in it […]
Yesterday Asa had the followup appointment with the ophthalmologist for his eye. The good news is Asa still has his vision, limited as it is, in 2024! We are very grateful that he does at least have peripheral vision, considering the uncertainty of Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis and the trajectory that he is on. The […]
Asa! Don’t make eye contact! Get away from the window! I warned Mom! Why didn’t she listen to me? The Yule Cat is still out there, isn’t it? Asa: Refresh me again as to why we need to fear the Yule Cat? Chuck Billy: As I first explained in my 2020 post, Christmas Socks Catastrophe, […]
Let’s face it, nothing in life is guaranteed forever. This includes social media. Yet each day we share everything from our highs to lows, to just the minutia of daily life. However, have you ever thought about what if access to it goes away? Some may say they have everything backed up on The Cloud, […]

As we look back in our rearview mirror at 2023, we’d like to thank you for coming along for the ride with us! Despite the year getting off to a very uncertain start with Asa’s emergency eye surgery and many trips to eye specialists for first, second and third opinions, that didn’t slow him down! […]
As 2023 draws to a close, we’d like to remember the dear friends and members of our extended family who crossed Rainbow Bridge this year. Some dogs we have known all of our lives, while others we were just beginning to know. Many we never met in person, but yet by welcoming us into your […]
Christmas is all about traditions. Little did we realize Asa was starting his own Christmas tradition last year, as a sheep dog! It all began in 2022 when Mom brought home a small Lambie squeaky toy as a gift for our Cousin Casey. Asa became absolutely fixated on that toy, seeking it out no matter […]
Today is the Winter Solstice. On what is the darkest day of the year, with the least amount of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere, we ask that you be the light for those around you. While out and about, be sure to smile! For some it may be the only smile they see today. Those […]
Asa here. Yesterday Chuck Billy shared his past mistakes when hanging out with Santa, and his concerns about his status on this year’s Nice List. Today I would like to share a few thoughts on how to always be on Santa’s good side. It isn’t difficult. You just need to be nice to Santa! Everyone […]
