The pages of rock history are filled with stories about fans sneaking into hotel rooms just to be close to their idol. So I knew it was only a matter of time before one followed me home. Recently we returned from yet another successful stop on my world tour of Maine, and discovered a feathered […]
Asa here. All superheroes have their kryptonite, even my big brave brother, Chuck Billy. Earlier this week he shared his perspective on rescuing us from the chirping smoke detector, and how he may have needed to relieve himself after the fright was over. This isn’t the first time Chuck Billy has felt the need to […]
Asa’s friend was hanging out in the yard taunting me this morning. He’s definitely been coaching her on her acting skills. First she just stood there, pretending she didn’t know I could see her. She even brazenly started eating one of my trees like it was her personal buffet! Followed by a stunned look of […]
I, Chuck Billy, the renowned Dog Ufologist, have just made an out of this world connection that will forever change our perception of squirrels! Recently while watching an episode of Nature, they made an offhanded comment. A comment whose significance was probably missed by most viewers, but it immediately enhanced the focus of my research.

Around here the first real sign of spring is when we hear the Spring Peepers chirping all night. These tiny little frogs live in the woods near ponds, streams and swamps, and emerge each spring from hibernation singing their happy song. Rehearsals for their special nightly concerts began off and on about a week or […]
Dogs, do you enjoy going to the beach? Do you want to continue to be welcomed at Maine beaches? Then we all must do our part to protect the Piping Plovers! Piping Plovers are the small birds seen flitting across the shoreline. They nest above the high water mark, in the dry sandy areas, often […]
Recently Grandma excitedly called to tell me that the winner of Cadbury Bunny tryouts is a cat with one eye! After “an impressive number of votes,” Crash won over the hearts of people across the country to win the coveted spot in the 2023 Cadbury Clucking Bunny commercial. In fact, Crash is the first cat […]
Ever get that feeling at the back of your head that someone is following you too close? That’s what happened to Dad and me on a recent walk. If Chuck Billy was with us, I’m sure he would have assumed it was a UFO. I wondered if my squirrel friends were flying a kite on […]
