We interrupt our regularly scheduled post for today because I need to have a serious conversation with Asa about an incident that occurred on the way to bed last night. Asa: Is it because I was feeling sluggish and headed up to bed early? Chuck Billy: That’s exactly what the problem is! Asa: I didn’t […]
You think that scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds is scary? Imagine being swarmed by moths! Our recent run-in with moths invading my hive reminded me of that time we unwittingly found ourselves starring in our own horror movie – “The Moths!” The Moths (September 2018) It all began one quiet evening with a single […]
Dogs, you are not going to believe this, but there was a time that squirrels were popular pets! Yes, you read that correctly. People welcomed squirrels into their homes as pets! Even more shocking, according to numerous sources, during the 1700s and 1800s squirrels were the most popular pet in the United States! Sure they […]
Asa stop singing that silly song! Sit, we need to have a little talk about personal space, and that not all friends are safe. First off, I want to thank you for not inviting your Toad friend inside to play. Stop giggling! This is a serious conversation. It is alright for your new friend to […]
How do you say goodbye to someone who lived a relatively quiet life away from the spotlight, yet was known by friends around the world? Such is the case for our dear friend and lawyer, Pye, the Guinea Pig, Esq., who crossed Rainbow Bridge on Friday. Council to dogs everywhere, Pye’s quiet and reassuring presence […]
Asa, put down the squeaky ball. We need to have a little chat. As an up-and-coming rock star, you’re going to meet a lot of new “friends” along the way. Some will genuinely have your best interest at heart. Others, not so much. Some may promise you big things to help further your career. Like […]
Finally I have official confirmation for my Martian Cats theory! Last week the Polish Academy of Sciences classified domestic cats as an “invasive alien species.” Yes, you read that correctly. Scientists have labeled cats as an alien species! Now they’re not ready to take the leap and agree with my theory that they are from […]
As we enter the last weekend of July, Asa and I have been busy checking off items on our Summer Dog Challenge. But with one glaring omission. We haven’t gone swimming yet this year! Would you believe my kitty cousins live at a lake, and have never gone swimming – ever! If I lived there […]
Earlier this summer I stopped the Chipmunk Caper, but crime never rests. Although Sarah Owl Jewett continues to hold the Chipmunk at bay, I now have a new formidable foe wreaking havoc in my garden. Something is making our Dinosaur Kale go extinct! I think I’ve mentioned before Asa’s obsession with kale. So to satisfy […]
I am pleased to announce the Chipmunk’s crime spree has come to a peaceful conclusion. He has been let off with a warning, and shows no signs of vandalizing my garden again. I might add though the case was wrapped up without any help from Patrolbird Owl. Although I am not allowed to discuss the […]
