And so it begins, dogs’ least favorite holiday, the 4th of July. It’s not even July yet, and the fireworks have already started! Seriously, fireworks on July 4th are bad enough. Why extend my torture by randomly shooting them off days ahead of schedule? As far as I can tell no other holiday is celebrated […]
More dogs go missing on the 4th of July than on any other day of the year. Dogs do not enjoy fireworks, nor do they understand it is a celebration. While most dog owners are vigilant at home protecting their dogs from getting lost, it is easy for even the most dedicated helicopter dog parents […]
In Greek mythology the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast.

I have to be honest with you. If Mom had a tail, lately it would be droopy. Oh sure she’s happy going on adventures with us. But I can tell she’s been missing our Grandpa (her Dad) and Lemmy. None of us guessed a year ago when we played with Grandpa on Father’s Day that […]
Mitchell Field in Harpswell, Maine is scenic spot with a dog friendly beach. To be honest we stumbled on Mitchell Field by accident while looking for a place to picnic after enjoying some of the trails in the area. We were pleasantly surprised by this approximately 120 acre park that offers trails, open fields and […]
I got barked at…by Humans! No seriously, they barked at me like I was a Squirrel! I was enjoying a relaxing Sunday afternoon on my front lawn, while Mom searched the garden to see if any of the critters left her a strawberry or two. That’s when I heard in the distance someone yell, “Pothole,” […]
