It is a little known fact that writing a dog blog can be inherently difficult work. Case in point, a spider has appeared on my computer this morning. Is he a visitor from the dark web, upset that with each of my dog ufologist posts I am getting closer to the truth about UFOs? Or […]
On Tuesday afternoon, at approximately 4:45 PM, I received a report of stolen property. The homeowners had gone out to pick wild blueberries in their yard when they discovered a large quantity was missing. They cannot estimate how many were stolen. But did say when they last checked days earlier their bushes were bursting with […]
It’s rare that I admit I’m wrong. That’s because it never happens. However, for the sake of neighborhood peace, I would like to apologize for a statement made in Friday’s post, “That Time We Got Sprayed.” I hereby rescind my comment that cat spray is the worst smell. Skunks are indeed the worst! I bet […]
Recently my friend Daisy experimented with a new perfume courtesy of a skunk. Oddly enough her Mom didn’t like it, and immediately scrubbed away the offending odor. This reminds me of a time when I wish Mom and Dad scrubbed away the worst smell imaginable before inflicting it on myself and Asa. It was the […]
Dogs gather around. We need to talk. We’ve all been there. You’re enjoying a great day at the beach or on a trail, when all of a sudden that dog shows up and ruins it for everyone. Maybe he’s running with reckless abandon off-leash, or perhaps she’s a bit too friendly when greeting fellow weekend warriors, or […]
Just the mere mention of ticks gives most dogs and people that creepy crawly feeling. But did you also know spiders are afraid of ticks too? No seriously, I saw it with my own eyes! So there we were outside enjoying the beautiful weather, when Mom sounded the tick alarm. “Tick!” Dad, immediately put down […]
Last week at approximately 2:43 PM I overheard Mom report to Dad that a section of our fence was knocked down. This sounds like a case for Detective Chuck Billy! Immediately Dad jumped to conclusions and blamed Mother Nature’s blustery attitude for the breach in our fence. However, I knew it couldn’t be that obvious. […]
Today is NOT my lucky day. There I was on morning patrol, minding my own business while doing my business. The trees were alive with the music of singing birds. There were Robins happily enjoying breakfast on the neighbor’s lawn. There was also a flock of Canadian Geese flying overhead. In short, after a week […]
I’m realizing that Mom and Dad’s obedience trainer hangs out with a bad crowd. You won’t believe who he invited to join us in class today. Two Squirrels who he kept insisting were some make believe creature called Ferrets. HA! Like he could fool me: brown, fuzzy, long tail, runs fast, unpredictable movements, you can’t […]
Over the weekend Dad and I decided to explore the Cottontail Rabbit habitat in our neighbor’s woods. Not sure what I was expecting to see. Probably some sort of cross between the Rankin and Bass Easter special of “Here Comes Peter Cottontail,” and the recent Netflix adaptation of Richard Adams’ Watership Down. Instead we saw […]
