Recently my friend Holly-berry reminded me that I need to talk to my Honey Bees. According to the tradition known as “Telling the Bees,” beekeepers should tell their bees about important events in the keeper’s life such as births, marriages, and deaths. If they don’t the bees could get upset and leave the hive, stop producing […]
Unfortunately, Asa and I will have to miss this Saturday’s New England Golden Jubilee. However, today we are looking through old photos and reminiscing about the previous years when we attended this annual event at Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Please join us on this stroll down memory lane… Chuck Billy: We certainly made […]
Asa here. Eye knew it! My eyes deserve a round of applause for listening to my ophthalmologist, Dr. Nick, and doing what was necessary to help my vision! A few months ago, during my regular monitoring for Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis (GRPU), Dr. Nick saw that one of the cysts in my eye was filled […]
After waiting over 50 years, it is finally happening! Today the House Intelligence Committee’s subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation will hold a public hearing on UFOs! This will be the first time Congress has convened a public hearing on UFOs, or what they have renamed Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP), since 1969 when the Air […]
We almost starved! We came dangerously close to not having breakfast! Dad got up really early today. I’m talking “Asa early.” Dad was up at 4:00 AM! He’s never up that early! Meanwhile he told Asa to be very quiet, so Mom could sleep-in. Dad knew it was going to be a long day for […]
Asa, how many times must I remind you to not eat the dandelions? Our honey bees need the pollen! I know you’re obsessed with eating your leafy greens, but this is the exception. If you continue this behavior, you’ll give me now choice but to put you in the penalty box! Sure it is Dad’s […]
The sun was shining. The birds were singing. It was the perfect day for an adventure! In a rare moment of spontaneity, Mom and Dad decided their to-do list of chores could wait, and loaded us into the car to go have some fun. However, when we arrived at our destination our adventure almost ended […]
Last week our post about Road Tripping with Dogs received a few questions regarding our travel crate. Having the proper car restraint for your dog is very important. According to a survey by the American Automobile Association, over 80% of dog owners’ drive with their pets in the car. There are approximately 43.3 million households with […]
Alright, I admit it, Asa and I dropped the ball on Mother’s Day. Not literally like on the off chance I miss catching the ball playing fetch. I mean figuratively. We didn’t get Mom a Mother’s Day gift. I blame Dad, because he hid the credit card from us after that last incident. He claims […]
Leave it to a Honey Bee to take advantage of Asa’s inquisitive good nature. As I mentioned in a previous post, spring is off to a slow start here in Maine. Whereas we usually have a lush field of dandelions for our Honey Bees to feast on, this year they are just starting to bloom. […]
