Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Watch Dog Duty
Over the years I’ve made my life as a watch dog seem very exciting. From barking at jaywalking squirrels on neighborhood patrol, to protecting my yard from trespassing deer, to solving the occasional bear crimes, I’ve done some really interesting things while protecting my family and neighbors.

Unbearable Stinging Situation
Well it happened again. We recently awoke to find our hives were ransacked. Except unlike last year when all of our hives were empty, my Chuck BEEly hive is full and active with bees. My tail drooped at the thought of my poor Honey Bees fleeing for safety into the night. At first we assumed […]

Good Morning Asa
It finally all makes sense! Mom thought she named Asa after her ancestor, who was a fisherman with a dry wit. Whereas Asa misunderstood and assumed Mom named him after the Japanese word asa which translates to “morning!” No wonder Asa lives by the motto of rise and shine, and insists that we all wake […]

Human! Human! Human!
When you’re a celebrity such as Asa and myself, we’re often noticed when we go places. Take for example our recent visit to Bug Light Park, when members of a bike tour shouted compliments as they pedaled past us relaxing at the park. They said everything from a cheery, “aren’t they cute!” to the leader […]
