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 […]
For anyone concerned that we would miss the opportunity to share one of Asa’s parodies in honor of Bon Jovi’s 40th anniversary and the release of their documentary, “Thank You, Goodnight,” fear not! Just like Jon, we also went into our archives to revisit timeless classics. And what better parody to look back on than […]
In the spring humans go through great lengths trying to have the “perfect” lawn. However, have you stopped to consider how imperfect perfection is, and what harm it is doing to the environment? By covering lawns and gardens in pesticides and other chemicals there are longterm consequences on honey bees and dogs! There are multiple […]
Last autumn we shared with you our adventure when we accidentally stumbled upon a film crew making a movie on one of our hikes. We just realized though that we never actually wrote a review of the park. So without further delay, here is our visit to Halibut Point State Park, in Rockport, Massachusetts. This […]
Yesterday I told you about my embarassing situation on the scale at the animal hospital. After things calmed down and the treats I scattered were picked up, I eventually was weighed. Thankfully, I didn’t hear the dreaded “D” word, Diet. In fact, the vet told me I lost weight since my last appointment, and could […]
Asa here. Well that was awkward. As a rock star, I like to give my adoring fans a memorable performance wherever I go. Such was the case on a recent visit to the vet’s for my annual physical. On that day I was greeted by my vet tech friend, and a new soon to be […]
