Not to brag, but I will. Who is a “lean, mean, hiking machine”? ME! That’s who! And unlike Asa, I didn’t need to do a grand entrance during my recent annual physical at the animal hospital. I walked in there like the mature dog that I am. Alright, I did notice the treat containers next […]
Asa, you do realize why I called you into my office today? We need to have a little chat about your job performance this weekend. As you know, we experienced a rare geomagnetic storm Friday night. Not just any geomagnetic storm, a G4 (Kp8), making the Aurora Borealis visible over most of the country. As […]
Well this is awkward. On Friday Asa and I agreed to disagree as to what is the perfect Mother’s Day gift. After reviewing Asa’s not so great ideas, we decided it would be best if we each picked out a gift for Mom. So you can’t begin to imagine our embarrassment when we realized we […]
Once again I put Asa in charge of picking out a Mother’s Day gift. However, based on the recommendations popping up in our social media timeline, I’m a little worried about what Asa has in mind. Take for example this vintage dress from the 1860s… Asa: Whoa! Don’t be so quick to judge! I found […]
In light of Asa’s surprise bath, he somehow talked me into sharing one of his B-list songs. As his manager, I tried to convince him that there was a reason why we never released this parody sooner. The chorus of this little ditty has been around for years. In fact, Asa sings it after every […]
Yesterday while on neighborhood patrol, a bird decided to relieve herself on Asa. Yep, splat right on his shoulder and part of his harness. Good aim for hitting a moving target, from such a distance sitting high above our heads on the electric lines. But that’s not the point of this story. Mom immediately proclaimed, […]
Nine years ago, while running a cat shelter in Maine, Nadine Molloy recognized there was a bigger issue that needed addressing in her community. Families were surrendering their beloved pets not because they wanted to, but because they were faced with a difficult financial decision between feeding their pets and feeding their families. That’s when […]
Last November I thought what better place to take Asa, an up and coming rock star, than Singing Beach in Manchester by the Sea, Massachusetts. Dogs are allowed during the off-season of October 15 – April 15. Although I probably should have done my research before taking Asa there to perform. The name Singing Beach […]
The state of Maine is filled with paranormal stories. From lonely lighthouses where ghostly inhabitants continue to keep watch centuries later, to mysterious creatures spotted deep in our woods. Therefore in celebration of National Paranormal Day, May 3rd, I am sharing my own fur raising walk that combined both a shadow figure and a strange […]
I tend to stick to my hobbies. However, when Asa joined our family, I felt the need to branch out, and pursue new interests. As I leaf through these old puppy photos, I wish I didn’t log off on one of my old habits, namely my obsession with sticks! When I was a puppy, I […]
