Apparently today is National Tell a Joke Day. Who makes up these national days anyways? Well whether this is a real holiday or not, Asa wanted to celebrate by sharing a few of his favorite jokes. Again, don’t blame me for this post. Blame whoever came up with National Tell a Joke Day, and then […]
After enjoying a relatively mild summer, Mother Nature has turned up the heat here. Problem is, with the air conditioner and fans on full blast inside our home, my brother Chuck Billy is confused and thinks it is cool outside too. This has lead to a heated discussion between him and Mom as Chuck Billy […]
Over the years I’ve made my life as a watch dog seem very exciting. From barking at jaywalking squirrels on neighborhood patrol, to protecting my yard from trespassing deer, to solving the occasional bear crimes, I’ve done some really interesting things while protecting my family and neighbors. Yet my job also has a lot of […]
Well it happened again. We recently awoke to find our hives were ransacked. Except unlike last year when all of our hives were empty, my Chuck BEEly hive is full and active with bees. My tail drooped at the thought of my poor Honey Bees fleeing for safety into the night. At first we assumed […]
Well apparently Asa isn’t the only one in our neighborhood who dreams of becoming a rock star. When returning from a walk one day, I thought I heard screaming trees. However, Asa was quick to point out it was a singing Groundhog with dreams of making it big in grunge, who recently had taken up […]
Earlier this week I shared the secret as to why Asa enjoys mornings so much. Today I thought I’d share my new appreciation for bedtime. I’ve never been much of an early riser. Nor have I ever been a late night party animal. I tend to keep the same schedule as Mom and Dad, that […]
It finally all makes sense! Mom thought she named Asa after her ancestor, who was a fisherman with a dry wit. Whereas Asa misunderstood and assumed Mom named him after the Japanese word asa which translates to “morning!” No wonder Asa lives by the motto of rise and shine, and insists that we all wake […]
When you’re a celebrity such as Asa and myself, we’re often noticed when we go places. Take for example our recent visit to Bug Light Park, when members of a bike tour shouted compliments as they pedaled past us relaxing at the park. They said everything from a cheery, “aren’t they cute!” to the leader […]
The story of Fawnzie began with a misheard conversation over a loud air conditioner. Dad and I had just returned from a walk and wanted to tell Mom and Asa about our new neighbor. However, it was difficult to hear over the drone of the AC, and Mom had the classic TV show “Happy Days” […]
In celebration of National Dog Photography Day, we are saluting the unsung people behind the lens who capture everything from the mundane to the extraordinary in the lives of dogs. Some of these images have become iconic and are burned into minds around the word. Other photos are captured by folks risking life and limb […]
