Digging Up the Truth
Patrol log: Wednesday, March 6, 2024, approximately 6:00 AM. While on routine patrol, I received a vandalism report from the Vole family.

After examining the area, I agreed that the disturbed soil in multiple areas within the fenced perimeter was unusual. […]

Ticks Are Out and Hungry
Contrary to what some may believe, long cold winters do not kill off ticks. Ticks can survive the winter by going dormant. Leaf debris not cleared away from the previous fall and brush areas provide insulation under the snow, which helps the ticks to survive.

Out of This World Cat Video
For years now, as a renowned Dog Ufologist, I have been sharing updates on my Martian Cats Theory. During that time I have confirmed with the Polish Academy of Sciences that cats should be classified as an “invasive alien species.” I’ve also drawn the connection between the world famous Nazca Lines found in Peru, with […]

My Weird Little Brother
My little brother is weird. At first glance, one would assume the photo is of a dog begging for bacon. However, looks can be deceiving. Instead this is a photo of Asa waiting patiently for some of that spinach. In fact, he has no interest at all in the bacon. Yes, you read that right. […]

Unexcused Absence
Yesterday Mom and Dad took an unexcused absence. I certainly did not give them permission to take the day off, and Asa is not authorized to sign-off on such things. Yet there we were home alone, while they were off gallivanting. Mom and Dad insisted that it was an “important” errand. However, I cannot imagine […]

However, it is important to keep dogs entertained both […]
