We interrupt today’s regularly scheduled post with a weather report from our rover reporter, Asa. The much anticipated snowstorm of 2021 has arrived! We’re taking a snow day to celebrate!!! Thank you Punxsutawney Phil for delivering our snow from Mother Nature!
I, Chuck Billy, may have misjudged my Coyote neighbors. For years now I have been critical of their carousing at all hours in the night. When in reality, they are working the overnight neighborhood patrol shift. In fact, thanks to their vigilance, they may have protected us from mice with nefarious intentions! This change in […]
Apparently Mom and Asa are having a bit of a disagreement over whether it is too cold to go out and play during the polar vortex. I have to admit I’m on Mom’s side. Even I’d rather snuggle by the pellet stove than play fetch in this subfreezing weather. At least on the bright side, […]
Mother Nature, I’m not one to tell someone how to do their job, but you’ve really been slacking off this winter. It’s January in Maine, and yet we can still see the grass here in southern Maine, and north of us isn’t fairing much better. Perhaps you’ve forgotten what winter in Maine should look like? […]
As a celebrity, I’ve come to accept that adoring fans can pop up in the most unexpected of places. Yet even I still find myself being taken by surprised sometimes by the lengths they will go through to see me. Case in point, as you may recall earlier this month, while on a hike Asa […]
When Asa was a puppy, he decided that one day he would grow up to be a Dire Wolf.

Fourteen years ago on this day Mom and Dad became first time dog parents. This was a responsibility they did not take lightly. Before Lemmy set paw into our home, they read every book recommended to them and sought advice from respected dog sources regarding everything from medical care, diet, exercise, and training. They thought […]
Recently someone asked me what was the first song parody Asa wrote. That distinction goes to “I Want a Rock,” originally shared on February 26, 2016. Technically this was more of a situation of Asa mishearing the lyrics to Twisted Sister’s iconic rock anthem, “I Wanna Rock,” than an actual song parody. Like all adolescent […]
Last week I shared that as a puppy I showed great promise as a Shoe Efficiency Expert. Therefore, I’m sure it will come as no surprise that I also spent time working as a Branch Management Engineer. As you know I take my responsibilities on neighborhood patrol very serious. However, back when I was young […]
As Champ and Major prepare to move into the White House, we wanted to help them prepare for their roles as First Dogs of the United States by sharing the tales of the pups who have come before them. These patriotic pooches have stood by their owners’ side greeting foreign dignitaries, presiding over meetings in […]
