Question: does anyone know what ladybugs eat for breakfast? I have a surprise houseguest, and I want her to feel welcome. Oh and safe too! Since last evening when Miss Ladybug arrived, I’ve been hard at work trying to ladybug proof my house. She’s more mischievous than a human toddler! It all began last evening […]
Recently while daydreaming in the office, I heard a flurry of activity outside. No not snow flurries, they are usually quiet. Well that and this was before the most recent round of snow.

It all started with Asa giving a ride to a spider, then shenanigans ensued. There’s a chill to the air lately, so one of Asa’s spider friends wanted to come inside to warm up. He was patiently waiting on the outside door for a ride share, and Asa was happy to oblige giving him a […]
I have a real whodunit on my paws, that has even I, the great Detective Chuck Billy, baffled. I can’t even come up with a motive! Therefore today I am sharing the details of this open investigation with the public, to see if you can help solve the Case of the Severed Shedding Suet in […]
Today is International Wolf Day! A global celebration to honor and raise awareness about the ecological importance of wolves. As we ease ourselves back into our routine after taking medical leave, please join us in this walk down memory lane, with this post from our archives regarding the “elusive” sea wolf. Spoiler alert: they are […]
Alright, some folks may have accused me of overreacting to those ginormous green caterpillars found in our garden yesterday. Oh sure the fact they can turn into moths may sound like no big deal to most, but I know first hand what happens if they team up! Let me remind you of the time our […]
