Asa: Chuck Billy, check out this mysterious box that appeared in the living room! I wonder what it is? It doesn’t look like the delivery boxes that show up at our door. Oh maybe it is one of those old timey travel trunks I read about in books? Could we be going on an adventure? […]
Now I may have mentioned in the past that Dad considers himself to be like MacGyver. He is a big fan of the ’80s television show, in which using ordinary items MacGyver can solve any problem. But unlike MacGyver, Dad doesn’t often find himself in situations where these skills are needed. That is until while […]
Asa here. For years I’ve been falsely accused, but out of respect to the perpetrator I never defended my good name. However, thanks to Chuck Billy’s carelessness and Mom’s insomnia, the truth has finally come out. It all began a few nights ago, when Chuck Billy and I were invited to sleep in Mom and […]
I, Chuck Billy, stand corrected. Last month I wrote a disparaging post about the Strange Suggestions I was receiving in my social media newsfeed. Now don’t get me wrong, I still stand by my statement that no one needs a Cat Shower Net Bag or dog suspenders to keep their booties on. However, recently a […]
Charles Dickens once wrote, “When happiness shows up, always give it a comfortable seat.” A lovely sentiment, especially when guests are visiting during the Holidays. However, when Mr. Fezziwig gave this advice to a young Scrooge, I’m pretty sure he didn’t intend it to be a recommendation for a gift. Case in point, after watching […]
Chuck Billy killed stuffed animals to begin with. There is no doubt whatsoever about that. The fluff was strewn about the house. Chuck Billy knew he killed it? Of course he did! How could it be otherwise? Chuck Billy knew the squeaky toy was a shell of its former self. And even he was not […]
Can you keep a secret? Last week Dad was away, so that meant we were living by “Mom’s Rules.” Mom’s rules are actually dog rules, but Asa and I like to make her think she is in charge. This way we get what we want and Mom is none the wiser, and can say with […]
Chirp…chirp…chirp… ‘Tis the wind and nothing more… Quoth the Golden, “Nevermore!” Gather round my friends, and I will share with you my cautionary tale of my descent into madness. It all began just like any other day. Mom and Dad headed out, and Asa and I were settling in for our morning nap. That’s when […]
Recently while enjoying a walk in the park, I couldn’t help but notice there were arrows painted on the ground. Asa, having an overactive imagination, immediately assumed the arrows pointed the way to a friendly elderly woman who lives in the woods in a house made of treats for good little dogs, and headed off […]
For years now these rickety old stairs have been a tripping hazard and an eyesore. But let’s face it, Dad has a really long to-do list for projects around the house, and wasn’t going to rise to the challenge of fixing them anytime soon. Therefore, as his little helpers I decided that Chuck Billy and […]
