Team Dog Game Day Food Strategy
Coach Chuck Billy here. Dogs, gather around. We need to discuss our game plan for Sunday’s Super Bowl. Soon humans will be gathering in front of the television to gorge themselves on food while watching football. This day dedicated to eating is even better than Thanksgiving, because humans will be distracted and not necessarily focused […]

Hungry Like the Coyote
The coyotes are back, and looking for trouble again. I heard them howling in the night, but it wasn’t until my morning walk that I realized just how close they were. In the dusting of snow we got overnight, I saw their fresh paw prints in my driveway, headed towards my neighbor’s yard. Not only […]

Always Check Your Pockets
Humans are creatures of habit. Humans are also easily distracted. Combine the two, and things can get embarrassingly messy. Such was the case on a recent walk with Dad. Dad begins our daily morning walk by stuffing his pockets with poop bags. As we walk along, he tends to lose concentration on the task at […]

The Year Without a Summer
Over the weekend, parts of the country experienced a “once in a generation cold snap.” The subfreezing temperatures tested even the hardiest of Mainers, weather records were broken, and scientists at the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire recorded it as the coldest place in the world. Thankfully temperatures have since warmed up and are […]

Good Boy to a Fault
Imagine this scenario. A dog is playing with a squeaky toy in the living room. Dad walks in, sits on the couch, and places a plate with a cookie on the cushion beside him. Dad begins to scroll through endless TV options, ignoring said cookie. Suddenly he is broken from his scrolling trance, not by […]

How Did I End Up Here?
It is 6:45 PM and cold out. Yet here I stand in my backyard staring up at the night sky hoping for a glimpse of yet another out of this world phenomenon. I may be a renowned Dog Ufologist, but I never said it was easy. It all started back in December 2012 when I […]

Out of This World Gift Thousands of Years to Deliver
My birthday celebration continues with an out of this world gift that took 50,000 years to deliver! A comet known as C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will be zipping past earth for the first time since the ice age, and was last viewed by the naked eye by Neanderthals, Woolly Mammoths and Mastodons! This is the BEST […]

A Walk with Chuck Billy
Thank you for all of the birthday well wishes yesterday! As we continue my weeklong celebration of turning 11, please join me for a stroll at one of my favorite parks, Fort Foster. Asa didn’t join us that day, because I wanted a little alone time with Mom and Dad. Don’t get me wrong, I […]

Ignoring the Call of the Wild
My order for snow has finally arrived! While I go out to play in it, I hope you don’t mind if I take you for another stroll down memory lane to Asa’s first winter with us. 2015 was one of the snowiest on record for Maine, and each day following his arrival it continued to […]
