Yesterday I shared with you my strange encounter with a chicken parking lot attendant. This was not our first random chicken encounter when out on a hike. Please join me for a hike down memory lane when in 2016 Angel Chuck Billy and I came across this cryptic warning in the woods. Beware of Free […]
Move over werewolves, vampires, zombies, demonic cats, and creepy clowns, it’s time that Maine’s monster of the ocean deep gets featured in its own horror movie! I’m talking about none other than the lobster! Now before you go licking your chops dreaming of this Maine delicacy, you may have second thoughts after reading these shell […]
Over the weekend, my family visited Fort McClary State Park for a picnic. I must admit, when I arrived I was in a bad mood. The Deer were in my yard again, and this time they were focusing their attention on eating all of my wild blueberries. Why were we off having fun when my […]
Everyone knows I take great pride in protecting my family. But all work and no play makes Chuck Billy a dull boy. So I also like to let my guard down from time to time and celebrate my accomplishments. However timing is everything, and recently boy did I mess up! I can’t believe I totally […]
They say adversity brings people together. Apparently the same holds true for Dogs and Coyotes. Last night started like any other, but then it happened. An infernal smoke detector began chirping indicating a battery needed to be changed! With my ears perked up I sat motionless in the dark, holding my breath, waiting for the […]
The Coyote brothers are up to their old tricks again. For months they have been trespassing into my territory.

I can’t believe what just happened! So there we were headed outside for a quick restroom break. As usual Mom opened the door and we came bursting out. While running to my favorite spot, I glanced over and noticed a lone Wild Turkey on the other side of the fence. No big deal. There’s always […]
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you our kitty cousin Misty has crossed Rainbow Bridge. For 17 years Misty silently watched over our antics, passing judgment with a mix of annoyance and amusement. I never did figure out what she did for fun when we weren’t visiting. But when we were together, […]
As a big brother, I laugh when Asa gets into predicaments. Well I couldn’t believe my good fortune on a recent hike at Mackworth Island, thanks to some irate Fairies and an innocent mistake. Asa often carries a walking stick in his mouth during our hikes, so I didn’t think twice when he helped himself to […]
On Friday I thought I was so clever to arrange for a substitute guard dog. However after a weekend of tail wagging fun exploring new places, I returned to discover the unfortunate consequences of my reckless behavior. Due to a series of unforeseen events I learned an important lesson – I’m irreplaceable! I never should […]
