Fowl Play Followed by a Wake
Things are getting really ominous here. It all began last week when Asa and I witnessed Fowl Play in our backyard. We probably shouldn’t have made light of the fact that a flock of black birds is called a “murder.” Because that murder has been followed by a wake! While out on a walk Monday […]

Rail Trails for National Walking Day
Tomorrow is National Walking Day, so let’s take a stroll down a few of our favorite rail trails. Asa and I love rail trails because they tend to be flat and easy on the paws; straight so you can see everything ahead and behind you, with no surprises; and wide so that even on a […]

The Night My Plan Went Wrong
I had a plan. I did everything right. Yet everything went wrong. In November when we changed the clocks to end Daylight Saving Time, Dad put new batteries in each of the smoke detectors, and Mom dusted and cleaned them. All in an effort to avoid that chirping noise they make when the batteries run […]

Fowl Play in the Backyard
It was an average evening. The type of evening not worth remembering more than any other evening. Or so I thought. I was in my usual spot, waiting for my dinner to be served. Asa was trying out his bad jokes on a defenseless stuffie, too polite to squeak, while some old familiar song played […]

However, back when I was a puppy there weren’t as many houses in my neighborhood to protect. Therefore while walking the long stretches […]

Squeakin’ in the Meetin’
I dedicate this song to all the work from home office dogs, tired of being ignored! It’s time we rise up and have a little fun! Thanks to the boys from Motley Crue, here’s my parody of “Smokin’ in the Boys Room,” to get you through the day! Do you ever seem to have one […]

Return to Fort Foster, Kittery, Maine
Recently I shared a “then and now” photo of me at Fort Foster in Kittery Maine. This park is special because it is the first place Mom and Dad took each of us as puppies, and we have had many adventures there since then. However, in recent years we stopped going there. Although there is […]

Born Older: Golden Reflections
Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of me joining my family. I’ve always been struck by that line in It’s a Wonderful Life when Pa Bailey tells his son George, “you were born older.” In many ways I think that describes my role in this family. As the middle dog, I’ve experienced life as both the […]

The Day Chuck Billy Took Control
Sunday, March 27th, is the 10th anniversary of my Gotcha Day! It’s hard to believe it has been a decade since I left my my brothers and sisters in the whelping box, and headed out on my grand adventure with my forever family. Those certainly were carefree days filled with eating, sleeping and playing. However […]
