Once again I’m realizing I underestimated Mom and Dad’s trainer. I just hope I didn’t accidentally ruin his surprise for me. It was one year ago that Asa and I enrolled Mom and Dad for some training classes. Back then I simply wanted to fine tune their leash walking so that Asa and I didn’t […]
On this Memorial Day weekend as we honor the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice, please pause to also remember our smallest soldiers who selflessly served our country. Dogs have served alongside US soldiers during every major conflict since the American Revolution to the present day. Yet more often than not their names […]
It’s not every day that one can surround themselves with joy, love, hope, healing, mischief, fun and 159 Golden Retrievers. However, that is exactly what happened at the 5th Annual New England Golden Jubilee! On Saturday, May 18, 2019, Golden Retrievers from across New England and as far away Florida, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, […]
Dog Mountain, Home of Stephen Huneck Gallery, in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, graciously hosts the New England Golden Jubilee every May. But did you know that you can visit this dog paradise any day of the year? While I continue to organize my thoughts and photos from this year’s jubilee, please take a moment to read […]
This weekend we attended the 5th Annual New England Golden Jubilee! This was our third year partying with over 100 Golden Retrievers at Dog Mountain in Saint Johnsbury, Vermont. I can’t wait to tell you all about it, but I need to sort through Mom’s photos first and collect my thoughts. So in the meantime, […]

These photos were taken back in 2015 along the Babson Boulder Trail at Dog Town Woods in Gloucester, […]
Mud? What mud? Oh that mud. Mom, I can explain! You see I was out walking Dad when all of a sudden he stepped in quicksand. So I had no choice but to jump in and save him! Oh you noticed too that there’s no mud on Dad. Well that’s because I saved him before […]
Well it only took a few days before Asa realized I was getting treats for my extraordinary heel work and he isn’t. So once again he added his own spin on Mom and Dad’s training. Literally, he added his own spin. Now when they stop walking, he spins around in front of them to remind […]
I’m beginning to understand why dire wolves are extinct. Asa, our self-proclaimed dire wolf, has added a new quirk to his repertoire. As you may recall, last week Dr. Doug told me I needed to lose a few pounds. Asa, on the other paw, is an “ideal weight,” and does not need to watch what […]
For Mother’s Day Asa and I would like to tell you about our beautiful Momma Sage and Grandma Rue. They’re celebrities! Momma Sage and Grandma Rue each had the honor of being models for L.L. Bean! Grandma Rue’s modeling career began when she was asked to pose for the 2010 catalog. Rue was very familiar […]
