Today at exactly 11:06 PM EDT the 2024 spring equinox will occur. Mother Nature, that means you still have almost an entire day left to fill our order for snow. Just imagine the smiles on everyone’s faces, including our big goofy Golden grins, if you send us a surprise snowstorm today! You’d be the hero […]
Unfortunately over the weekend the tipping of our toy basket, while Mom was trying to do a little spring cleaning, resulted in our stuffie friends gaining undue attention. This led to a spa day in the laundry room for some, a trip to the stuffie ER to await surgery for others, and sadly for a […]
Today marks the state of Maine’s 204th birthday! Now if there’s one thing Mainers enjoy is a celebration, and we have some rather unique ones in our state. Here are just a few of the festivals taking place in Maine this year. Please note NOT all of these events are dog friendly! Check out the […]
That’s odd. There is a cryptic appointment on our calendar for today at 9:00 AM labeled with just 3 exclamation points, and no additional information. I don’t recall adding anything to the calendar, and surely I’d put more detail than that. It must be something Mom or Dad added? Well this is getting even stranger. […]

So today we are defending our actions, so that our coworkers will think twice before rushing to judgement again! Here we are demonstrating the classic, “this meeting […]
Have I mentioned how much I love Daylight Saving Time? Not only do I get fed an hour early, having Mom sleep deprived can lead to delicious treats! Well almost, if in my excitement I didn’t ruin it. Let me explain. Mom was making her breakfast a little while ago, when she reached into the […]
Good News! I’m not hearing voices! Well I am hearing a voice, but it is not in my head or coming from an invisible intruder. It is coming from the radio! No not a regular radio. A squeaky toy boom box that I received as a gift in January for my 12th birthday. Grandma gave […]
Mother Nature, come over here and sit with me for a moment as I take you for a March down memory lane. I know you’re very busy, especially since you were up all last night making it rain here, so I condensed the photos from the past 9 winters in March into this collage. Notice […]
Patrol log: Wednesday, March 6, 2024, approximately 6:00 AM. While on routine patrol, I received a vandalism report from the Vole family. They found traces of digging in the backyard, unrelated to their usual dirt mounds.
