Unexpected Visit from LeBron Puppy
Last week I was assigned light duty, because my patrol partner, Asa, also known as Bowling Ball, crashed into me. While I recovered from a slight limp, I had no choice but to allow him to carry on neighborhood patrol without me. Rarely anything happens on our daily patrols, so I thought what’s the worst […]

From the Archives: The Invisible Dog
In recent months, some of my friends have welcomed puppies into their homes, and with that comes what I like to call “Invisible Dog Syndrome.” Suddenly, older dogs find themselves going from being the center of attention, to feeling like they are invisible. Dogs, this is by no means your fault! Therefore today I am […]

Love in the Shire: A Movie by Asa
Asa here. I have to admit I wasn’t always paying attention on Chuck Billy’s quest for the Berkshires’ Bigfoot. Blame it on his incessant rambling about paranormal theories. Or perhaps it was because it was “Merry Movie Week” on the Hallmark Channel? Regardless my mind started wandering and I found myself writing my own Hallmark […]

Mount Greylock in Lanesborough, Massachusetts
As the highest mountain in Massachusetts, Mount Greylock has been attracting visitors to the Berkshires since the early 1800s. By midcentury, authors and artists were all trying to capture its beauty in words and art.

Our Quest for the Berkshires’ Bigfoot Continues
Pups, we have reached the place that inspired our quest to find the Berkshires’ Bigfoot, October Mountain! As I shared 4 days ago, I’ve been planning this adventure for years ever since I watched a documentary regarding paranormal activity in western Massachusetts’ the Berkshires. In New England Legends, season 1, episode 1 (2013 available on […]

Getting Closer to the Berkshires’ Bigfoot
The big rats that I introduced you to yesterday on our quest to find the Berkshires’ Bigfoot, told us we should visit the Natural Bridge State Park. Not being experts, such as myself, the big rats suggested that perhaps the natural marble bridge may hold the secret to where Bigfoot is hiding. Sure it was […]

New Friends on Our Quest for the Berkshires’ Bigfoot
As our quest for the Berkshires’ Bigfoot continued, Asa reminded me that we were also in western Massachusetts to celebrate Mom and Dad’s anniversary. Therefore, after the success of our first day, I reluctantly agreed to a side trip to visit The Mount, home of Edith Wharton, author of The Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome, and The House […]

Our Quest for the Berkshires’ Bigfoot Begins
Last month we headed to the Berkshires in western Massachusetts to pursue my interest in the paranormal. Why the Berkshires? Because way back in 2017 I watched a documentary discussing sightings of UFOs, ghosts, and Bigfoot at October Mountain in this mountainous and forested region of Massachusetts, and ever since I have been determined to […]
