Cabin fever has definitely been setting in here this winter. However, Mother Nature is delivering to us fresh snow to play in today. This winter we actually have a snow deficit here in our neck of the woods in Maine by approximately 10 inches. Compare that to the winter when Asa first joined our family, […]
Dogs, has this ever happened to you? Your human throws a snowball, only to have it disappear despite your best efforts to find it. Well rest assured it has nothing to do with your search and rescue skills. Dogs, don’t be alarmed, but your yard could be a snow portal to anther dimension! As a […]
Last week Chuck Billy wrote a rather mean-spirited post making fun of my need to remind myself left paw, right paw, while walking on ice. Thankfully the ice on the road has melted, but we are facing another bitter blast of arctic cold this weekend. Now that I no longer have to worry about slipping, […]
Mother Nature, why didn’t you tell me yesterday’s storm was a lottery? I only learned about it when I turned on the local news and heard the meteorologist announce that north of us in Maine won the “Snow Jackpot!” Had you told me, I would have played that lottery. Although not being much of a […]
Asa here. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Can’t talk now. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Must concentrate. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Road icy. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Might slip. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Oh hello leaf! *slips* […]
Mother Nature, I know we’re all nostalgic for the “good old days,” before the pandemic. However, bringing back below freezing temperatures not felt here in Maine since 2018, is not helping. No one wants to relive these bone chilling temperatures, with this morning’s subzero windchill making it “feel like” between -20 to -35ºF in Maine. […]
Last year you may recall Asa and I learned about the Anglo-Saxon tradition of wassailing apple trees. After 8 years of not having a bountiful harvest, or really any harvest to speak of, we headed out on Twelfth Night, January 6th, to participate in this ancient tradition of scaring away the evil spirits by blessing […]
Earlier this week I shared with you the groundbreaking revelation that Cats are tracking our every move to put us on Santa’s Naughty List. Well as a Cat Conspiracy Theorist, I am obligated to share with you an even bigger threat this Christmas. The Yule Cat may eat you! But here’s how you can sock […]
Mother Nature made quite a mess of our yard with her recent storm. Therefore I gave Mom the morning off so she could attend to cleaning it up. After all on the off-chance I miss catching it, fetch is much easier without the leaves hiding the ball. While Mom rakes, join me for a stroll […]
If serving my meals exactly one hour late isn’t insult enough, last night Mom gave me the wrong bowl for dinner! Now to be honest, I was very excited to see that it wasn’t my usual slow feeder bowl, that I wolfed down Asa’s meal before Mom realized her mistake. However, after the mere seconds […]
