Recently our friends at Pope Memorial Humane Society invited us to do neighborhood patrol at Howl for the Animals at the DeMeritt Farm’s Haunted Overload. Asa and I are always willing to lend a helping paw, so we immediately accepted this invitation.
For thousands of years dogs and humans have had a good working relationship. We protect them. They feed us. However, after thousands of years of being dedicated to our job, we’re now being replaced. Humans have outsourced a dog’s #1 job to artificial intelligence! Worst yet, I had to find out while watching tv! So […]
I don’t want to scare anyone, but there are some weird things happening at our local Home Depot. In fact, I think it may be haunted! I was working a late evening overtime shift patrolling the aisles while Dad was there to pick up a few things for his latest project. That’s when I observed […]
It’s rare that I admit I’m wrong. That’s because it never happens. However, for the sake of neighborhood peace, I would like to apologize for a statement made in Friday’s post, “That Time We Got Sprayed.” I hereby rescind my comment that cat spray is the worst smell. Skunks are indeed the worst! I bet […]
Neighborhood patrol is inherently dangerous work. During the 7 years that I’ve been fulfilling my duties, I’ve been trailed by coyotes, mocked by squirrels, and recently ambushed by a bird with a fly by pooping. Yet through it all I have managed to stay focused on the task, and complete my duties to the best […]
I was working an overtime shift patrolling the aisles of Home Depot with Dad. Yes, it’s beyond the range of my usual neighborhood patrol duties, but I’m always willing to lend a helping paw. Good thing too, because I noticed a very suspicious character. Based on that surly grin on his face, I knew he […]
Last week at approximately 2:43 PM I overheard Mom report to Dad that a section of our fence was knocked down. This sounds like a case for Detective Chuck Billy! Immediately Dad jumped to conclusions and blamed Mother Nature’s blustery attitude for the breach in our fence. However, I knew it couldn’t be that obvious. […]
Today is NOT my lucky day. There I was on morning patrol, minding my own business while doing my business. The trees were alive with the music of singing birds. There were Robins happily enjoying breakfast on the neighbor’s lawn. There was also a flock of Canadian Geese flying overhead. In short, after a week […]
Over the weekend Dad and I decided to explore the Cottontail Rabbit habitat in our neighbor’s woods. Not sure what I was expecting to see. Probably some sort of cross between the Rankin and Bass Easter special of “Here Comes Peter Cottontail,” and the recent Netflix adaptation of Richard Adams’ Watership Down. Instead we saw […]
I can’t believe Mom and Dad spent the weekend binge watching Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House, when they repeatedly ignore my warnings about the haunted house right in our own neighborhood. In fact, I even wrote about this neighborhood threat last year, long before the popular Netflix series even aired. So without further ado, […]
