Lovable Lemmy
Today would have been my big brother Lemmy’s 11th birthday. I’ve told Asa about the devoted bond Lemmy had with his Momma Butter emailing her for every holiday, how he was a bit of a curmudgeon when I first arrived home, and then there are the stories of how he played with Grandpa. However, today […]
Helping Paws
Today is Giving Tuesday, a worldwide initiative dedicated to giving back. With so many animal shelters, rescues, and other pet related nonprofits vying for your support, it can be a bit overwhelming. We’d love to donate to all of them, but we can’t. However, Giving Tuesday is more than just about financial support, it is […]
Asa’s Big Birthday Surprise
Chuck Billy: As you may recall last week I went on a shopping spree for Asa’s birthday. But that’s NOT his big birthday surprise. Oh, in case you’re wondering I gave him two balls, a squeaky toy, and treats. Anyways, his BIG surprise is something Asa has wanted for a long time. For those of […]
And So It Begins Again
And so it begins again. It is that time of year when Mom loses her mind and insists on turning the entire house into what can best be described as an explosion at Santa’s Village.

Chuck Billy’s Shopping Spree
‘Tis the season of giving, and I’m taking that message to heart. Last January my grandparents gave me a gift card for my birthday. However, I already have everything I need, a bacon scented squeaky ball and treats. What more could a dog want? Well apparently Asa needs stuff, especially since I may have accidentally […]
Farewell Ms. Chicken
I’ve come to the realization that because of Chuck Billy I can’t have squeaky toy friends. While helping Dad organize the basement I discovered a squeaky toy hiding amongst the boxes. Immediately I brought this new friend upstairs to show Chuck Billy. While Chuck Billy examined my new friend, I pondered what to name her. […]
