This is an outrage! I can’t believe Naruto lost his lawsuit! Please excuse my outburst. For those not familiar with Naruto’s legal battle, let me explain. While taking photos of endangered monkeys in Indonesia, wildlife photographer David J. Slater left his camera unattended. Feeling that Slater was not truly capturing his good side, one of the […]

Dear Customer Service, I recently purchased your dictation software to use with my blog, Living with a Golden. Although I’m grateful for my Mom’s efforts to type my thoughts, I do not appreciate her editorial comments. But I digress. The reason for this letter is that I am dissatisfied with your lack of Dog as […]
One of our favorite dog friendly places to visit year round is Fort Foster in Kittery, Maine. A great summer destination, this park becomes a must go to destination in the winter to cure cabin fever with open spaces to romp, trails to explore, and fellow dogs to meet and greet.

Asa is experiencing another rite of passage. He received his first big boy bed for his crate! That is an important milestone for a dog. One that he’ll never forget. It means that Mom and Dad trust him not to have accidents and that he is mature enough to not play with it, or worse […]

I overheard Mom talking with a friend about their New Year’s Resolutions. They talked about changes to their diet, getting more exercise, and being more positive in the year ahead.
