Ssshh, I’m hiding from Mom as she gets our ridiculous Halloween costumes ready for a weekend filled with embarassing photos, culminating in being publicly humiliated at the Portsmouth Halloween Parade! So while I hide, please enjoy my frightening version of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, this is […]
I think we all could use a smile this morning. So I’m going to do something uncharacteristic of me. I’m letting Asa pick from the archives his favorite song parody to share with you today. It comes with little surprise that he chose a song he is often heard singing on our daily walks. Ok, […]
Asa here. Chuck Billy put me in charge of today’s post because he’s trapped in the backyard. This may come as a shock, but my supposedly fearless big brother, like all superheroes, does have one tragic flaw that renders him powerless. Chuck Billy’s kryptonite is Snakes. One slithered past him in the tall grass this […]
Asa here. Ok I admit Chuck Billy’s attempt at making a tropical oasis in our backyard wasn’t a complete failure. He did inspire me to write another song! This time I’m parodying Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” with Peanutbutterville. I dedicate this song to my big brother’s romance with a missing bacon scented squeaky ball and his […]
So it happened again. Two fishermen supposedly saw a Great White Shark off the coast of Maine. Luckily, it was a harmless Basking Shark, who often get confused for their more mean spirited relatives. This most recent incident in Scarborough reminds of the time a couple years ago when as a puppy Asa was confused […]
At times Asa may steal my thunder. However together we make a formidable team that the ladies can’t resist. On Saturday we were enjoying a quiet evening in the historic gardens at Hamilton House, when a group of human teenagers stumbled upon us. Instantly the girls surrounded us, cooing with delight as they petted Asa […]
For over two years now I’ve been invisible. Every time I venture out with Asa, people surround him while ignoring me. Initially I thought once Asa grew out of his floppy fluffy puppy stage, people would notice me again. But alas, he’s full-grown and people still don’t instantly acknowledge my presence. This led me to […]
I got barked at…by Humans! No seriously, they barked at me like I was a Squirrel! I was enjoying a relaxing Sunday afternoon on my front lawn, while Mom searched the garden to see if any of the critters left her a strawberry or two. That’s when I heard in the distance someone yell, “Pothole,” […]
I’ve been patrolling this neighborhood every morning for five years now, and I thought for certain that I’ve seen everything. Yet this morning I was reminded the world is still full of surprises! Our walk started out natural enough. Perhaps a bit too natural for some people’s sensibilities. I pooped. Since we only made it […]
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 […]
