Brrr… it is cold outside. Detective Jack reporting from Maine, USA. It’s all snow and icicles over here at the moment. Good thing I have a nice thick coat of fur. Poor Poco Loco has a thin wiry coat and he has the shivers. He can’t wait until we get south to Florida. Well, we will be in the big apple, New York City, in a couple days. I am… Read More »Happy Holidays from the Dog Detectives!

Hi everyone, Fred here – it’s been snowing all over the country and I got out my bobble hat.  You may remember I wore it last year in the snow…well actually this year.  I forget that it was January that it snowed.  We’ve had such a busy year with lots of fun hat filled activities.  I’ve been all over the country and taken part in so many events.  Then locally… Read More »Get Ahead Fred in the Snow

Well my parents are secret agents and they get called away on missions over the weekend (baddie work on the weekend). Of course I am not supposed to tell you that. I am supposed to tell you the cover story that they are both boring old police officers who sometimes have to work night… Read More »My Parents

I decided to do a treasure hunt for Netty, Harry and their friends.  I placed 10 clues written on bits of paper around the beach, hoping that the children would have fun finding them.  Once they began, I could see that my clues were not where I had placed them with Scampi!  They had gone missing! All the children were running around the beach puzzled shouting “Where’s the next clue?”… Read More »Treasure Hunt!

Netty and Harry were bored because their pocket money had been cut, so I suggested that we all search for treasure using a metal detector.  “Yay!!”  Cheered Netty “If we find lots of money we can buy all the ice cream in all the world!” Harry held the detector with the headphones on his head while the rest of us followed.  Nothing for a while and then it beeped, in… Read More »Netty and the silver spoon!

Hello hat fans!  I spent two days last week at the Spirit of Christmas Fair in London, getting into the Christmas spirit.  Everywhere was decorated beautifully and I could smell all the yummy food that was cooking upstairs.  It made me want it to be Christmas already!  I added some festive bits and pieces to my hat (some fairy lights, candy canes and a bit of greenery) – I had… Read More »Get Ahead Fred at Spirit of Christmas
