Hi! I'm Basil



Yep, it's me, Basil.....the old boy of the lot. Iris thinks she rules, but I'm the boss. My main duties here are to patrol the ten acres of woods and flowers, help my Daddy fend off the black bear, deer, turkey and wild cats. I can do it, too!
Just last summer while Philip was picking blueberries, a black bear stepped out of the woods to get a paw full. Well, not on my watch!!! I ran his black butt out of the orchard, down the bank into the creek and out of site. Yep, I rule.
On my softer side, I love all the new puppies. When the Mommies have their backs turned to take a rest break outside, I love to go and roll them over, lick them good just in case the mommy missed something. But I'm no dummy. I skeedaddly fast when I hear them coming back!
I'd love to hear from all the grandpa's and what they are doing in their retirement days.
I could use a laugh or two!
