I Got Locked Out
Well it happened again. We got locked out of the house. This isn’t the first time this happened. Nor will it be the last. So of course while we waited for the door to open, Asa wrote a song parody about it. This time it is to Chumbawamba’s earworm, “Tubthumping.” Except for us the song […]

Dear Future Self
Dear Future Chuck Billy, It’s me, 2023 Chuck Billy. I know it is customary for a future self to write words of encouragement to their younger self. But as you know, I’ve got everything under control here. Besides, you’ve been very busy, and probably don’t have time to dwell on the past. That is why […]

Video Diary of a Perfect Puppy
Last week on National Puppy Day I shared a video of Asa as an annoying pup. Not to brag, but I will. In contrast I was a perfect puppy! I just didn’t want Asa to feel bad last week by revealing how high I set the bar for my family. Even my older brother Lemmy […]

How It Started in 2012 vs. How It Is Going in 2023

Bird’s Eye View
Ever get that feeling at the back of your head that someone is following you too close? That’s what happened to Dad and me on a recent walk. If Chuck Billy was with us, I’m sure he would have assumed it was a UFO. I wondered if my squirrel friends were flying a kite on […]

The Truth about Puppies
Today is National Puppy Day. So while all the humans are cooing over the cute puppy pictures being shared, I’m going to remind everyone about the truth. Puppies are annoying! Yes, you heard me correct. Underneath all that fluff is a self-centered, annoying little creature, who doesn’t share and is always on the lookout to […]

No Second Thoughts
Yesterday we got up really early and set out for a long car ride. Our mission? To get a second opinion on how to protect the vision in my right eye on my journey with Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis (GRPU). Don’t get me wrong, we love my ophthalmologist! But with something this serious, we wanted […]
