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 […]
Neighborhood Patrol is a lot more than simply monitoring for mischievous chipmunks and trespassing deer. It also involves helping my neighbors. Case in point recently while out on a walk I found a Baby Robin sitting in the middle of the street. The little bird was a mix of fluffy down and adult feathers, and […]
AC/DC once sang, “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna to rock ‘n roll.” I’m starting to realize just how correct they are as I continue to follow my dream to start a band. At the last headcount I have approximately 80 dogs and a few cats excited to be my backup […]
About a month ago someone new moved into our neighborhood. No big deal, right? We have neighbors come and go all the time. Besides, this one seemed like a quiet fellow. Not like those nosy owls who are always asking “who?” every time I leave the house. Or the coyotes who are up all night […]
As I continue to try to solve the case of the Jolly Ball found in our woods, I was reminded of another strange find from years ago. In February 2016, Asa rescued a Gnome buried in snow in our woods not too far away from the location of our most recent find. At the time […]
I, Chuck Billy the great detective, has foolishly fallen victim to a ruse! On Saturday I was working an overtime shift patrolling our woods, when I spotted a suspicious red item in the snow. Not knowing what the item was, I sent my patrol sergeant, Dad, into the hazardous thicket far off the trail to […]
