Fungi, Just Go Away
Good news! I had my recheck with my internal medicine doctor, and she is very optimistic that the anti-fungal pills are working! Although I’m still honking like a goose, it isn’t as often. And the nose cannon is also firing less. More importantly the ooze from my nose is more often clear than a mucus […]
Have You Seen My Reindeer
Well this is awkward. Has anyone seen my reindeer? He answers to the name of Rudolph, and may or may not be the actual reindeer who helps Santa. That is one of a few theories as to why he has gone missing from my home. Oh deer, oops I mean oh dear, let me explain… […]
Woogling while Wassailing
Yesterday was Twelfth Night, the eve before the end of the 12 Days of Christmas. Years ago on this date Angel Chuck Billy began a family tradition, based on Anglo-Saxon folklore, of wassailing our apple trees with cider, song, and toast, in the hopes of a bountiful harvest. According to his research, the purpose of […]
Worth Every Penny
Many folks have been asking, so without further ado, it is time for Dad’s Christmas gift reveal! For those who are new to this tradition, Dad has a history of giving Mom practical gifts. In the past he has given Mom toilet seats (he’d want me to emphasize they weren’t just any toilet seats, but […]
Step Away from the Tree
Whoa! Slow down there! Step away from the tree! Before you take down the decorations remember that we are still within the 12 Days of Christmas, which began on December 26th and runs through Epiphany on January 6th. In fact, based on my calculations we are eligible for an additional 364 gifts! All the more […]
Paw Prints on Our Hearts 2025
As 2025 draws to a close, we’d like to remember the dear friends and members of our extended family who crossed Rainbow Bridge this year. Some dogs and cats we have known all of our lives, while others we were just beginning to know. Many we never met in person, but yet by welcoming us […]
It’s the Christmas Countdown
Today I am sharing a previously unreleased song from the archives. Originally written in 2023, it wasn’t posted because Angel Chuck Billy at the time came up with a more pressing topic that couldn’t wait. Then last year, well I wasn’t in a singing mood. But Christmas is a time all about second chances! So […]
Spaced on UFO Auction
Contrary to popular belief, the massive auction of “The Ultimate UFO TV Library,” that took place last weekend was not from Angel Chuck Billy’s personal collection. Nor was I the top bidder. In fact, I was so distracted honoring Angel Chuck Billy’s anniversary at Rainbow Bridge last week, that I entirely missed the auction! Oh dear, […]
It All Started with a Pom Pom Hat
Today I am sharing the complete story of Chuck Billy’s awkward missteps with Santa. Over the years Angel Chuck Billy shared bits and pieces of this tale from his perspective, but for the first time here is the full story about how Chuck Billy ended up on the Naughty List! It all began with a […]
A Squeaky Toy Christmas Carol Refrain
Today I present to you from our archives a cautionary tale for dogs loosely based on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. May the lesson I first endeavored to relate five years ago, ring true in your hearts today!* A Squeaky Toy Christmas Carol (December 23, 2020) Chuck Billy killed stuffed animals to begin with. There […]
