It was the perfect summer afternoon. I was laying in the grass squeaking my ball, and Mom was talking on the phone with Grandma while absentmindedly petting Asa. That’s when Mom felt a tickle on her hand and noticed an ant. “No big deal,” she thought, “after all we’re outside.” After brushing the ant off […]
There’s been a lot of activity in my neighborhood with new homes popping up everywhere, and some actually appearing overnight! I first noticed this uptick in new homes with the arrival of Mr. Hawk. He took up residence in the penthouse nest on top of one of our tallest pine trees with sweeping views of […]
There we were at the end of the driveway, with Mom and Dad leashed to Asa and myself, patiently waiting while Asa searched for the ideal spot to do his business. When all of a sudden something came falling out of the sky, almost hitting Mom! It happened so fast I didn’t get a good […]
The unofficial start of summer is here, and with it marks the return of intergalactic tourists to Maine! It is an unspoken belief that extraterrestrials love vacationing in Maine. This phenomenon was first brought to my attention on the eve of Memorial Day Weekend in 2016 when Sgt. Tim Farris of the Portland Police captured […]

You may be surprised to hear despite being an awesome guard dog, Santa isn’t the only one who breaks into my home one night each year. The Easter Bunny does too! However, whereas Santa at least leaves presents, this mischievous […]
It’s time for everyone’s favorite game show, Woo Hoo Who? Where contestants try to guess what’s that annoying noise we keep hearing in our neighborhood! Our first contestant is Asa! And I’m your host, Chuck Billy! Chuck Billy: Asa, can you please identify the source of this sound: Woo Hoo! Woo Hoo! Woo Hoo! Woo […]
Has anyone else noticed the eerie similarity between Cats and creepy Elves? No, not in appearance! Cats would never be seen in silly outfits like that Elf on a Shelf. However, I couldn’t help but notice that they share many characteristics. So today I would like to remind Dogs of my Christmas Cat Conspiracy Theory […]
I’m all for spreading holiday cheer, but I wish these carolers would do it someplace else! The Coyotes have been out in force wandering our neighborhood, and their proximity to our home makes me nervous. It all started last weekend, when we couldn’t help but notice in the light coating of snow that blanketed the […]
I bet you’re wondering why I’m in my crate right now and not out patrolling my neighborhood. Well today I’m demonstrating the importance of duck and cover drills. There is a new threat in my neighborhood, and to be honest I’m not quite sure how to respond other than by seeking shelter! It all started […]
