In honor of Presidents’ Day I would like to pay tribute to George Washington’s dogs. As well as Gerald Ford’s dog who was the first Golden Retriever to live in the White House. It is estimated that during his lifetime President George Washington had approximately 50 dogs, representing almost every group of dog recognized by […]
I couldn’t help but notice that there’s been a lot on TV about how to celebrate Valentine’s Day. There are cooking shows on preparing the perfect meal, segments on the ideal location to spend the day, and ads for ways to show love ranging from jewelry to a new car. These are all nice, and […]

My little brother is a hero! There we were enjoying our daily romp in the woods when Asa spied a bit of red peeking up through the snow. I didn’t think it was anything, and kept right on walking. After all Asa is always showing me sticks and leaves he finds in the woods. But […]

Yet with approximately 334 acres, Kingman Farm Trail does not feel crowded and offers open fields and extensive […]
A conversation between Chuck Billy and Asa as they drifted off to sleep last night: Wow brother, that was one amazing party. Best Super Bowl party ever, really.

The Coyote Brothers are back. They came strolling into town sometime last week. No doubt looking for trouble and to have a good time. I heard them barking and howling last night. This morning I walked my property line with Dad and discovered they have been lurking in the woods just out of plain sight. […]

Asa here. By now I’m sure you’ve all read about my uncharacteristic behavior this past weekend. But before you pass judgement please let me tell my side of the story! After all this is America where all dogs are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Where to begin? Well I really have no excuse for eating […]
