Now that spring has officially arrived, it is time for me to start planning the next leg of my Asa’s World Tour of Maine! This being my third year exploring places in Maine named after countries or world famous cities, I thought I should change things up a bit to add excitement. Maybe even draw […]
Today, March 20, 2025, is the official first day of spring! To say goodbye to what has been the snowiest winters we’ve had in a long time, I’d like to share this video made by Angel Chuck Billy in 2015. Back in the early days of Living with a Golden, he insisted on being our […]
As all Golden Retrievers know, with great cuteness comes great responsibility. And letting people pet and admire us is one of those responsibilities. But it also gets daunting, especially if I just want to relax and enjoy family time. Don’t get me wrong, I love making new friends! But all that petting can really slow me […]
To celebrate the state of Maine’s 205th Birthday, on Saturday we headed to an institution that has become synonymous with the state – L.L. Bean! Today L.L. Bean is known for its outdoor clothing and sporting equipment. Its catalogs are mailed around the world, there are stores across the country, and its flagship store in […]

Hi Chuck Billy! It’s me, Asa! But of course you probably already knew that. Thanks for getting that day pass from Rainbow Bridge so you could stay with me when they scanned my belly. I know you were really there to see Dr. Doug. You always did love visits with him. But it sure made […]
It happened again. I was happily conversing with my stuffed animal friends, when Mom surprised me by announcing my dinner was served. Just when I thought I was somewhat getting a grasp on when to alert it was time for dinner, they changed the rules, or at least the clocks on me! Angel Chuck Billy […]
I’m back! I decided to extend Global Day of Unplugging to all weekend. Although I missed chatting with all of you, it was nice being offline with my family. In the past when we’ve unplugged it was usually for a vacation, when there are plenty of tech-free distractions. This time it was an ordinary weekend […]
Dogs, put down the phones, turn off the tablets, and step away from the keyboards! Tomorrow is Global Day of Unplugging! Starting at sundown tonight, March 7, and going through to sundown tomorrow, March 8, dogs and their humans around the globe are encouraged to unplug from their screens and pursue tech-free activities offline. Just […]
