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 […]
The situation with the Chipmunk garden vandal has escalated. Although the Chipmunk appears to be leaving the other plants alone, his obsession with my sunflowers continue. Despite Dad’s best efforts to plant the sunflower seeds inside to let them sprout before replanting them outside in the garden, the Chipmunk’s crime spree continues. The plants are […]
It all began while on a routine backyard patrol shift last week. I noticed a plant in our garden had been flattened. I incorrectly assumed it was due to the previous night’s heavy rain, and did not inspect it closer, nor did I file an official report with headquarters. However, a concerned citizen, Dad, later […]
Oh dear, it makes my tail droop when the neighbors aren’t getting along. Yesterday I took Mom and Dad out for a walk while Chuck Billy stayed home, and we witnessed the most disturbing altercation between Mr. and Mrs. Robin and Jay Bluejay. Dad was the first to notice something was amiss when he spotted […]
Leave it to a Honey Bee to take advantage of Asa’s inquisitive good nature. As I mentioned in a previous post, spring is off to a slow start here in Maine. Whereas we usually have a lush field of dandelions for our Honey Bees to feast on, this year they are just starting to bloom. […]
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 […]
The spring backyard building boom has begun! I’ve been watching the birds and other critters hard at work making nests. I’ve also seen a lot of posts lately of dogs sharing their fur to help their feathered friends. However, I want to caution that NOT all dog fur is safe to leave out for birds! […]
