I was heckled by a hen! While trying to do a good deed, no less! Thankfully Asa was at home with Mom, because he would have made light of this serious situation with a series of jokes. Yesterday while on a routine neighborhood patrol, I noticed a chicken by the side of the road. Now […]
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 […]
Alright, now that things are slowly going back to normal here with Asa, I admit I had my doubts that would happen so may have come up with a backup plan. But do you blame me? Routine is very important to me, especially my daily walks. With things veering off schedule, I knew I needed […]
The coyotes are back, and looking for trouble again. I heard them howling in the night, but it wasn’t until my morning walk that I realized just how close they were. In the dusting of snow we got overnight, I saw their fresh paw prints in my driveway, headed towards my neighbor’s yard. Not only […]
Humans are creatures of habit. Humans are also easily distracted. Combine the two, and things can get embarrassingly messy. Such was the case on a recent walk with Dad. Dad begins our daily morning walk by stuffing his pockets with poop bags. As we walk along, he tends to lose concentration on the task at […]
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 […]
While writing my memoir earlier this week, I was reminded of a hobby I once had in my younger years. As you know I take my responsibilities on neighborhood patrol very serious. However, back when I was a puppy there weren’t as many houses in my neighborhood to protect. Therefore while walking the long stretches […]
Winter is a good time to keep track of what’s going on in my neighborhood. Sure I’m out every day patrolling the streets, but I can’t go for walks 24/7, especially at night. Therefore I rely on my trusted home security system of snow, to keep an eye on who is coming and going in […]
Don’t look, but I’m being stalked by a deer! Earlier this summer I introduced you to Fawnzie, my carefree and impulsive, daredevil neighbor. Since that time, periodically throughout the summer Fawnzie could be seen playing with reckless abandon in our yard, walking up the middle of our street in broad daylight without a care in […]
