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 […]
This week’s class was for the birds! No, I’m serious! There was a bird at Mom and Dad’s obedience class. And not just any bird, it talked! I don’t mean talking like the wild turkeys’ gobbling, a robin’s tweeting, or even like my annoying owl neighbor who is always asking, “who?” This bird could say […]
The Coyotes are really getting bold this winter. Yesterday I witnessed one stalking a Deer in my yard! Worst yet, Asa was in the fenced in area oblivious to it all! Asa, how many times must I remind you that you need to be alert at all times? We had just got back from a […]
The Coyote Brothers came strolling through our yard again. No doubt they were taking a shortcut after visiting that new Cottontail Rabbit restaurant that opened up in the thicket not too far from our property. Like most ne’er-do-wells, Coyotes don’t like showing their faces in daylight, and instead prefer do their deeds under the cover […]
Asa here. Everyone has that one socially awkward friend that you love dearly, but they’re definitely not the life of the party. Maybe they’re a bit too loud. Or perhaps they are very opinionated. Whatever the reason, when it comes to party invitations, theirs is inevitably “lost in the mail.” Well for me, that friend […]
My kitty cousins, Koloa and DeNiro, sent me this thought provoking article from Higher Perspective on how cats protect homes. Yep, you read that right. The fine folks at Higher Perspective actually wrote an article praising them as guard cats! But it’s not what you think. Whereas dogs work tirelessly protecting our homes from real […]
A Skunk, a Porcupine, and a Bear walked into my yard one day. I wish this was the start of one of Asa’s bad jokes, but sadly it isn’t! We were only gone for a week, but during that time some rather unsavory neighbors moved in too close to home. Thankfully we haven’t been formally […]
