For six years now Asa and I have been sharing our Dog Friendly Places reviews on our blog Living with a Golden. Curious, I decided to take a look back at my first trail review, and I must say I impressed even myself. As an up and coming film maker, I decided rather than hire […]
Well our Monday is off to a great start. Please note the sarcasm. On a good day, Dad bags up our poop, and puts them in a bigger bag to proudly carry with us on our walk. Unfortunately this morning there was a hole in the big bag, and being still half-asleep and coffee deprived, […]
Although technically yesterday was National Dog Day, approximately 63.4 million households in the United States have at least one pup, thus making every day Dog Day!

Tuthill, located approximately 15 minutes outside of Augusta, is a 55-acre complex with 25 buildings, and open spaces to run and play. Created by Kenneth […]
America’s longest war has ended. Yet for those who served in Afghanistan and elsewhere, the battle may still continue. Every day 22 Veterans take their own lives in the United States. These Veterans served our country and then came home to face the even greater challenges of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), […]
