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. Throughout the day today in Lexington and Concord there will be reenactments of this epic battle. But for those of […]

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. This was originally posted back in April of 2015 when he was just a five month old puppy. Without further ado, here is Asa with his […]

Rumor has it that today is Local History Day! It makes Mom smile whenever we can combine her two interests of history and hiking. Therefore, I was planning to write a post where I list our favorite hikes through history with some fun facts. But as you can see, this is not that post. Instead […]
