This week Mom and Dad’s trainer invited us to join him for a special class at the beach. The students were specially selected because we each had unique skills that we needed to work on with our humans. One dog, nicknamed “Cujo” by the trainer, is aggressive towards little dogs. Another dog, nicknamed “Dopey,” is […]
Today is Patriots’ Day. A state holiday observed in Massachusetts and Maine commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War, which took place on April 19, 1775.

As you can see from the attached picture I am not happy. Why am I not happy, you ask? Everyone knows this is not my side of the travel crate. However, either Asa was not paying attention when he jumped into the car, or this is one of his bad jokes, because currently he is […]
Every so often Asa surprises me with his profound thoughts. It doesn’t happen often. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to re-share Asa’s rather astute observations on spring.
