On this Valentine’s Day we are recommending a true love story that left paw prints on our hearts, The Life and Adventures of Bert, by Anderson Graham. It is the tale of our friend, Bert, a Labrador Retriever from Scotland, whose journey began under humble circumstances. However, by the time he crossed Rainbow Bridge he […]
Well as of this morning, the snowstorm that we’ve been so anxiously tracking, starting from predicted amounts of 10 inches of snow, has diminished to at most a dusting. So as I warned Mother Nature yesterday, if she didn’t send us the snow we so nicely requested, I would be unleashing Asa’s latest song parody, […]
Mother Nature, can you make up your mind? First the meteorologist said we’d be getting a big snowstorm on Tuesday. Then it said it will miss us. Now we are on the edge of a storm that is headed south of us that may or may not reach Maine. Mother Nature, it is February. We […]
One year ago, on February 10, 2023, Asa had emergency surgery to remove his left eye due to Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis. The memories and emotions of that day are still fresh in our minds. However, today we are not going to dwell on the events of that day. Instead we are celebrating how Asa […]
Many dogs have their own special Super Bowl memory. Whether it is their favorite team winning, an ad that made them bark out loud, or scoring that delicious snack when the humans were distracted by the game. For me, my favorite memory is the time I won the Supper Bowl during Super Bowl LV 2021. […]
According to the Farmer’s Almanac and the Groundhog, last weekend we reached the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. So although winter is technically half over, I thought I’d take this opportunity to remind dogs about the importance of taking care of their humans, especially during the long winter months when they […]
Contrary to how this appears, we are not getting paw-printed by the police for our wild partying last week. Instead these paw prints are yet another art project we did as part of my birthday celebration. As previously mentioned in my Red, Golden, and Green, Dog Art post, my name in the whelping box was […]
For a while now we’ve been sharing Asa’s journey with Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis. Today we’re sharing my recent excellent annual eye exam. Spoiler alert: my ophthalmologist called me “perfect!” But of course I’m perfect, I’m Chuck Billy! I have to admit my appointment got off to an awkward start. Asa’s friend, Dan the vet […]
Love is in the air this February! We all know that Chuck Billy loves playing fetch. We also know that for years he has insisted on only playing with his one true love, a bacon scented squeaky ball. However, what we didn’t know is when did this love affair with this specific ball begin? Well […]
A birthday isn’t complete without a game that also acts as a party favor to remind you of that special celebration. And that’s exactly what we did for Chuck Billy’s birthday! We started this tradition last year, and it was so much fun that we repeated it again. Here’s how we did it, if you’d […]
