Asa here. After being home for a year, we thought it would be best to ease Mom and Dad back into society, by first visiting with relatives. Chuck Billy and I were pleasantly surprised that they remembered most of their socialization training. However, there were a few things we felt could use some fine tuning […]
Attention Weekend Warriors! You are NOT Superdogs! You are not able to scale tall mountains in a single hike, nor are you a faster swimmer than a rip current, and you’re especially not more powerful than the summer heat. Sorry to be so harsh with my reminder, but lately I’ve been seeing a lot of […]
Asa, sit. We need to have another chat about the rules. First off, I want to thank you for no longer inviting your mice and insect friends inside to live. I really appreciate your efforts to keep them outside, even if you do forget once in awhile. However, I must ask you to stop helping […]
I accidentally got into a fight with my Imaginary Friend, and now he’s disappeared! I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings. If anything it was his fault for starting the fight. Let me explain and you decide. We were taking a walk one evening when our neighbor stopped in his truck to talk with Mom […]
Asa here, writing to you from our UFO bunker in an undisclosed location. Chuck Billy is insisting that we stay in his secret bunker all day today due to the partial solar eclipse over Maine this morning. As a Dog Ufologist, Chuck Billy is convinced that while the sunrise over Maine was shrouded in darkness, […]
Yesterday we had our first visitor inside our house in what seems like a bazillion dog years! In fact, we can’t remember the last time we invited someone inside our home. Oh sure, Asa has had mice, ants, and various other bugs inside to play over the past year. But they weren’t invited and quickly […]
We’ve been framed! Actually we’ve been preparing frames. My Honey Bees are doing a great job filling their hive, so it is time to add a second brood box. Up until now our Honey Bees have been living in a single brood box. This is the box at the bottom of the hive, where they […]
Our kitty cousins, Vegas and Kaz, are typical teenagers. Despite not visiting for over a year, at ages 16 and 13, they thought they were too cool to hang out with their younger cousins, namely Asa and myself. But that didn’t stop us from trying to find out where they were hiding during our visit […]
Neighborhood Patrol is a lot more than simply monitoring for mischievous chipmunks and trespassing deer. It also involves helping my neighbors. Case in point recently while out on a walk I found a Baby Robin sitting in the middle of the street. The little bird was a mix of fluffy down and adult feathers, and […]
It has been awhile since I’ve conducted any science experiments as part of Asa’s homeschooling. However, thanks to a conversation between Mom and Dad, I have the perfect hypothesis to explore! In a rare state of optimism, over the rainy weekend Dad decided to spread some grass seeds in the backyard, in an attempt to […]
