Tomorrow is National Work Like a Dog Day. This day was created to honor hard working dogs, for our strong work ethic and sense of duty. So to celebrate, I thought I’d remind everyone of my hard work as Chief Executive Dog (CED), keeping my office running smoothly. Oh sure it may look like being […]
Yesterday was municipal elections day here in Maine. Across the state there were many important issues being voted on, but one town’s question to rescind a ban on pinball really caught my attention. Apparently back in 1981 a town in Maine passed a law in which children had to be 16 years or older, and […]
Ordinarily I’m a good boy, who follows the rules. However every once in awhile I need to break the rules to stand up for the underdog, or in this case llama. Last month while updating our blog post on dog beach rules, I came across one I’ve never seen before: “Horses, ponies, llamas, vicunas, alpacas […]
It has been a few months since my emergency surgery in February to remove my left eye, due to Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis. Since then Chuck Billy has been really good at keeping everyone up to date medically on my condition. Today I thought I’d share my perspective on how I’m adapting to all these […]
I’m feeling nostalgic this morning. Six years ago Asa and I attended our first New England Golden Jubilee. The event itself at Dog Mountain wasn’t our only first that weekend. It was also the first time that we stayed in a hotel. This weekend Goldens from across New England and beyond will be attending the […]
I admit for previous Mother’s Days, Asa and I took the lazy dog route and let Dad pick her gift. Those gifts tended to be on the practical side. Although Mom never said anything, she sure didn’t react like they do on those Mother’s Day commercials. This year I decided to let the most impractical […]
My little brother has a lot on his mind these days. Therefore I thought I’d give him a morale boost with our favorite game. Normally I like to show off my athletic prowess, by outrunning Asa to retrieve the ball, over and over and over again. In the past, Mom would occasionally have to hold […]
Yesterday my friend Clover reminded me how magical the world in spring can sound to a winter puppy. I was just 5 months old when I experienced my first sounds of spring with Chuck Billy. Now that I’m older, although I’ve grown to take these sounds for granted, there’s still something special about hearing them […]
Thought we’d share a little Monday Motivation with you today, inspired by a card we received wishing us, “Hope, Wonder and Celebration this Easter.” Well why should it just be one day? Asa and I experience Hope, Wonder and Celebration each and every day! All dogs do! We start each morning filled with Hope […]
Dear Future Chuck Billy, It’s me, 2023 Chuck Billy. I know it is customary for a future self to write words of encouragement to their younger self. But as you know, I’ve got everything under control here. Besides, you’ve been very busy, and probably don’t have time to dwell on the past. That is why […]
