Today I am sharing the complete story of Chuck Billy’s awkward missteps with Santa. Over the years Angel Chuck Billy shared bits and pieces of this tale from his perspective, but for the first time here is the full story about how Chuck Billy ended up on the Naughty List! It all began with a […]
Today I present to you from our archives a cautionary tale for dogs loosely based on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. May the lesson I first endeavored to relate five years ago, ring true in your hearts today!* A Squeaky Toy Christmas Carol (December 23, 2020) Chuck Billy killed stuffed animals to begin with. There […]
Does anyone recognize this Llama? He arrived in a Kong box last week, but he’s rather shy and not forthcoming as to his name or who sent him. I searched his box, but my only clue is the packing slip says he was purchased on December 1, 2025. I also did the polite greeting of […]
The holidays are all about cherished family traditions. One of our traditions is me playing the role of shepherd with my family’s Nativity set. It’s a role I’ve taken very serious for a few years now, ever since Mom brought home a new manger. Normally I leave our Christmas decorations alone. However, I was instantly […]

Yesterday I referred to Angel Chuck Billy’s strange obsession with elves spying on him for Santa. Well it wasn’t just elves that had him concerned.

Throughout his life, Angel Chuck Billy always kept me safe, and made sure I followed the rules. Such was the case, just days before he crossed Rainbow Bridge last December. We never got a chance to share that selfless act, that I took for granted at the time. Ok, I was a little annoyed by […]
Today I dedicate my song parody to all those caught up in the shopping frenzy of the holidays. Set to the tune of REM’s “Losing My Religion,” I first penned it back in 2021, after a particularly overwhelming Cyber Monday. I reshare it today because I didn’t have time to write a new blog post. […]
Friends, I saw my eye doctor yesterday and the news isn’t good. There is scarring behind my iris causing adhesions, which restricts the movement of my pupil. I am in the early stages of Iris Bombe, which is how I lost my other eye. The ophthalmologist cannot predict when this sudden spike in uncontrolled pressure […]
So ummm, hi Santa’s Elves. I suppose you heard that commotion in the living room yesterday? Oh who am I fooling? How could you not hear it! But I can explain! You see, although there is Dad’s Four Paws on the Floor Rule, Mom and I have this unspoken agreement that it is alright for […]
