You know that time just before dawn when it’s still too dark to see, but you can somewhat make out figures in the shadows? Add to it a thick fog, and that describes our spooky walk yesterday. Before I share the details, I just want to note for the record that I was NOT afraid. […]
You know how every neighborhood has that one creepy house? It may be a bit rundown. Or even completely abandoned. Or perhaps it looks perfectly normal, but there’s just a weird vibe coming from it. Well our neighborhood isn’t any different. However, what makes that house stand out on our street is Mom and Dad’s […]
Leashing up Dad and taking him on neighborhood patrol may seem like an easy task. But in reality it can be quite dangerous with threats both from the ground and sky. During my eight years walking this beat I’ve been dive bombed by a Turkey Vulture, had my precious poop bag stolen by a Hawk, […]
Attention Neighbors! Good news! I am back on patrol duty! My paw is healed! No more worrying about having Asa in charge of neighborhood patrol. And by the looks of things I’ve returned just in time! There appears to be a lot of suspicious activity happening in our neighborhood. Asa, just when were you planning […]
Pssst. It’s me, Asa. Come closer. I need to whisper because I don’t want Chuck Billy to hear. While he continues to recover from surgery, Chuck Billy has trusted me to be in charge of neighborhood patrol. Easy, right? I’ve walked up and down our street countless times spreading cheer. But something happened this weekend […]
There we were at the end of the driveway, with Mom and Dad leashed to Asa and myself, patiently waiting while Asa searched for the ideal spot to do his business. When all of a sudden something came falling out of the sky, almost hitting Mom! It happened so fast I didn’t get a good […]
My Honey Bees are out there, maybe even nearby! As you know my hives are empty this year. Recently on a walk, while I paused to take care of business, I noticed a Honey Bee collecting pollen on a dandelion. At the time, it just made my tail droop thinking about my departed friends. However […]
Staying alert on neighborhood patrol has taken on heightened importance in recent weeks. In the past, Asa and I only had to worry about protecting Mom and Dad from mischievous squirrels, trespassing deer, and the occasional ne’er-do-well coyote. However now there is a whole new creature we must be constantly be vigilant for and avoid […]
I’m happy to report that after being on light duty for the past two weeks, I’m back to work at neighborhood patrol! And just in the nick of time too! Dad has forgotten his training! I first noticed the problem on Thursday afternoon. After patiently sitting through a really long meeting with Dad, I finally […]
I bet you’re wondering why I’m in my crate right now and not out patrolling my neighborhood. Well today I’m demonstrating the importance of duck and cover drills. There is a new threat in my neighborhood, and to be honest I’m not quite sure how to respond other than by seeking shelter! It all started […]
