Everyone knows I’m a rocker. But I’m also a little bit country too. So today put on your cowboy hat and boots, and join me in singing my parody of the great Willie Nelson classic, “On the Road Again!” Except my version is dedicated to the best game around – Playing Fetch Again! Playing fetch […]
My little brother has a lot on his mind these days. Therefore I thought I’d give him a morale boost with our favorite game. Normally I like to show off my athletic prowess, by outrunning Asa to retrieve the ball, over and over and over again. In the past, Mom would occasionally have to hold […]
We’ve had a setback with Asa’s eye. At his followup with the ophthalmologist on Thursday, he detected small hemorrhages unrelated to the Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis (GRPU). As the eye specialist explained to us, they are located in the back part of Asa’s eye in the retina, whereas GRPU usually involves the iris in front. […]
Asa likes to be helpful around house. Case in point he’s always picking up socks when he finds them. So after watching Mom slowly chipping away at her spring cleaning to-do list, Asa decided he’d help her tidy up. Or at least he thought he was helping. When emptying the bathroom wastebasket, Mom noticed one […]
It has come to our attention that humans remember things better when set to a familiar tune. Therefore rather than repeat our obvious message of when out on an adventure pick up the poop, in honor of Earth Day Asa wrote a parody to sing on hikes to help remind everyone of this important task. […]
It is with a droopy tail that I announce that after 7 years of beekeeping this summer my hives will remain empty. We made this difficult decision after the series of unfortunate events these past few years. It began in 2020 when we experienced a colony collapse, which is basically a fancy way of saying […]
During the day on Saturday, April 8, 2023, at 11:55 AM, an out of this world extraordinary event happened over the state of Maine. A fireball was seen by multiple witnesses penetrating Earth’s atmosphere, and rocketing over Washington County in Maine and into New Brunswick, Canada! There were also multiple sonic booms heard in Calais, […]
Nine years ago on this date, April 18, 2014, at approximately 9:00 PM, our brother Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge. That night I promised Lemmy that I would keep his memory alive by sharing his stories. Over the years I’ve told Asa about Lemmy’s grand adventures, and his many quirks. Today I’d like to talk about […]
After a one week delay, our annual kibble hunt took place yesterday. As you may recall, there were cheating accusations in 2022 that have yet to be addressed. Therefore this year I made a few changes in the judging. First the treat total would be kept in a written tally, and not as just a […]
Around here the first real sign of spring is when we hear the Spring Peepers chirping all night. These tiny little frogs live in the woods near ponds, streams and swamps, and emerge each spring from hibernation singing their happy song. Rehearsals for their special nightly concerts began off and on about a week or […]
