I’d like to begin by stating I’m fine. However, yesterday I had surgery to remove a lump from underneath my eyelid. Dr. Heidi assured Mom and Dad that is was a benign cyst. Clearly Dr. Heidi is not familiar with my research as a renown Dog Ufologist, because that was no cyst. She removed an […]
I bet you’re wondering why I’m in my crate right now and not out patrolling my neighborhood. Well today I’m demonstrating the importance of duck and cover drills. There is a new threat in my neighborhood, and to be honest I’m not quite sure how to respond other than by seeking shelter! It all started […]
Asa here. Recently while watching the Halloween classic, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” I made a startling realization. Maybe the reason the Great Pumpkin is so elusive is because he’s shy and not blessed with a lot of confidence like those other holiday heavy hitters, namely Santa and the Easter Bunny. Clearly they have […]
I have to give Asa credit. He can be quite determined if he wants something. Too bad this time around he’s obsessing about us wearing matching Halloween costumes, which I have absolutely no interest in doing. This all started when Asa saw Ernie and Bert costumes at the pet supplies store. Luckily for me, they […]

This tale, inspired by true events, is a homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart.” True! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? Listen, and observe how calmly I can tell you the whole story, of how my tail betrayed me. It […]
The Salem witch trials have captured the attention of historians for centuries. However, despite all the research and retellings, one fact often gets glossed over. Namely dogs were included among the innocent victims executed for being witches during the hysteria that gripped Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693. Spoiler alert: the Salem witch trials had nothing […]
Three years ago today we said goodbye to our best friend, Grandpa. However, Grandpa, who was Mom’s Dad, wouldn’t want us to have droopy tails today. In fact, I bet he’s spending the day playing with his best friend, our brother, angel Lemmy. So to make us smile, I’m going to share with Asa some […]
