Earlier this summer I stopped the Chipmunk Caper, but crime never rests. Although Sarah Owl Jewett continues to hold the Chipmunk at bay, I now have a new formidable foe wreaking havoc in my garden. Something is making our Dinosaur Kale go extinct! I think I’ve mentioned before Asa’s obsession with kale. So to satisfy […]
Hey cool cats and jive barking dogs, this is your guest DJ, Asa, rocking you into the weekend with this summer classic all the way back from 2021 – my parody of the Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer in the City!” Here’s to hot days and cool rainy nights. And just remember, enjoy it while you can […]
The dog days of summer are here! However, the work of animal shelters, rescues and pet food pantries doesn’t take a vacation. Let’s help animals in need have a good summer by lending a helping paw. Today we are reminding everyone to check in with their local animal shelters, rescues and pet food pantries to […]
Dear Santa, well played! Well played, indeed! You even fooled Chuck Billy. But as your little helper, I know exactly what you did! I admit at first I was confused about why you came to personally install our new gutter guards. Sure it made sense that back in December 2020, that you installed the rain […]
After months of waiting I am sad to report Dad’s Mother’s Day gift for our Mom is a washout. He wanted to make a big splash by giving her what all women want as a gift, namely a pressure washer! And not just any pressure washer. One that came with special attachments to clean the […]
If you’re at the Scarborough State Beach this summer, you may see their newest lifeguard in training, Beacon the Newfie. Newfies are bred to aid with water rescues, and Beacon’s job will eventually be to help Maine state lifeguards tow in people on floatation devices during rescues. Not to brag, but I will, Beacon isn’t […]
I am pleased to announce the Chipmunk’s crime spree has come to a peaceful conclusion. He has been let off with a warning, and shows no signs of vandalizing my garden again. I might add though the case was wrapped up without any help from Patrolbird Owl. Although I am not allowed to discuss the […]
When it came to water, no one loved it more than our brother Lemmy. From the vast ocean, to the tiniest puddle if there was water around, Lemmy was in it. But whether it is the ocean, pond or puddle, each comes with their own unique safety issues for dogs. Therefore today I’m going to […]
The ticks have been particularly prevalent this summer. I know I say that every year, but we seem to be finding a lot more lately. Therefore, we’ve all been on high alert with the creepy crawly feeling that one could be on us. This unnerving feeling inspired Asa to write yet another heavy metal parody, […]
Yesterday while searching our archives for a Throwback Thursday photo to share, I came upon this troubling picture from 2016. At first glance it appears to be Asa and I running on the beach. But take a closer look, and you’ll see we are running away from the ball! Why would we abandon a ball […]
