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 […]
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.

When it comes to making friends on Halloween, Asa’s motto of a “a […]
Today Asa and I will be tackling the age old debate of which season is better, winter or summer. Being older and wiser, I will begin with my support of the best season ever, winter. Mother Nature, pull up a chair. I think you’re going to want to listen to this debate, and take notes. […]
Asa may come across as a happy-go-lucky fellow. But just like everyone else he has an off day every once in a great while. Ok, so the first and only day I can think of it happening was one day in 2017 when I tried to surprise Asa with a Hawaiian themed staycation. So on […]
After enjoying a relatively mild summer, Mother Nature has turned up the heat here. Problem is, with the air conditioner and fans on full blast inside our home, my brother Chuck Billy is confused and thinks it is cool outside too. This has lead to a heated discussion between him and Mom as Chuck Billy […]
Lately we’ve had two types of weather here in Maine: hot and humid, or cold and rainy. Although there are some who enjoy the heat and hate the rain, Asa has the opposite perspective.
