In Memory of Cousin Misty
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you our kitty cousin Misty has crossed Rainbow Bridge. For 17 years Misty silently watched over our antics, passing judgment with a mix of annoyance and amusement. I never did figure out what she did for fun when we weren’t visiting. But when we were together, […]

Trial By Fairy
As a big brother, I laugh when Asa gets into predicaments. Well I couldn’t believe my good fortune on a recent hike at Mackworth Island, thanks to some irate Fairies and an innocent mistake. Asa often carries a walking stick in his mouth during our hikes, so I didn’t think twice when he helped himself to […]

Exeter UFO Festival
Pssst. Chuck Billy here. Normally Mom will recommend a dog friendly event on Thursdays. But I deleted her post for today because I want to tell you about a UFO lecture series that dogs are NOT allowed to attend. Conspiracy? You bet! But if you’re a human…or even an Alien…I recommend the Exeter UFO Festival […]

I can’t help but notice that my summer flew by much too quickly. Perhaps yours did too? Well after careful research of photographic evidence I can definitively say: Aliens Abducted Summer! It is the only logical explanation of why there simply wasn’t enough time to do all of my well thought out plans that […]
