Does Anyone Recognize This Llama?
Does anyone recognize this Llama? He arrived in a Kong box last week, but he’s rather shy and not forthcoming as to his name or who sent him. I searched his box, but my only clue is the packing slip says he was purchased on December 1, 2025. I also did the polite greeting of […]
Don’t be Sheepish about Joy
The holidays are all about cherished family traditions. One of our traditions is me playing the role of shepherd with my family’s Nativity set. It’s a role I’ve taken very serious for a few years now, ever since Mom brought home a new manger. Normally I leave our Christmas decorations alone. However, I was instantly […]
The Adventures Continue One Year Later
Hi Chuck Billy! Well here we are on the one year anniversary of you going over Rainbow Bridge to be with Angel Lemmy. You know how my year has been based on these monthly check-ins, and you’re always watching over us for the stuff I may have not mentioned. But what about you! What have […]
Unnerving Elves and Spying Cats Theory
Yesterday I referred to Angel Chuck Billy’s strange obsession with elves spying on him for Santa. Well it wasn’t just elves that had him concerned. He also expanded his theory to include cats being on Santa’s payroll to trap dogs on the naughty list. I realize that since he first presented his findings, I have […]
Chuck Billy Unwavering at His Guard Post
Throughout his life, Angel Chuck Billy always kept me safe, and made sure I followed the rules. Such was the case, just days before he crossed Rainbow Bridge last December. We never got a chance to share that selfless act, that I took for granted at the time. Ok, I was a little annoyed by […]
Keep Moving Forward: Wreaths Across America 2025
Earlier this week a convoy left a small rural town in Maine headed to Arlington National Cemetery on an important mission, to deliver thousands of handmade wreaths to remember our fallen Veterans, honor those who serve, and teach children the value of freedom. Along the way, they will be stopping at schools, veterans memorials and parks for special events to honor […]
Caught Up in the Frenzy
Today I dedicate my song parody to all those caught up in the shopping frenzy of the holidays. Set to the tune of REM’s “Losing My Religion,” I first penned it back in 2021, after a particularly overwhelming Cyber Monday. I reshare it today because I didn’t have time to write a new blog post. […]
Asa’s Eye and Nose Aftermath
Friends, I saw my eye doctor yesterday and the news isn’t good. There is scarring behind my iris causing adhesions, which restricts the movement of my pupil. I am in the early stages of Iris Bombe, which is how I lost my other eye. The ophthalmologist cannot predict when this sudden spike in uncontrolled pressure […]
Elves, We’re Good Here, Right?
So ummm, hi Santa’s Elves. I suppose you heard that commotion in the living room yesterday? Oh who am I fooling? How could you not hear it! But I can explain! You see, although there is Dad’s Four Paws on the Floor Rule, Mom and I have this unspoken agreement that it is alright for […]
Asa’s Snow Celebration
It may be a week past my birthday, but Angel Chuck Billy’s gift for me arrived right on time! So please join me as I celebrate the first snow of the season, continued healing from my surgery, and my 11th Birthday! Let’s get this party started!
