On Friday night the snow began to quietly fall, while the housemates slumbered. When morning awoke, we were greeted on that late March day with a winter wonderland. “Outside Boys!” Dad happily called, as he and Mom donned their snow gear recently tucked away in anticipation of spring. No further prompting needed, our snow day […]
Chuck Billy’s Editor’s Note: I would like to state for the record, that the following post in recognition of World Chipmunk Day is all Asa’s idea. Opinions expressed are all Asa’s, and do not reflect those of Living with a Golden. I’ll be off doing more important things while Asa shares his “fun” facts about […]
In honor of World Poetry Day, we would like to share with you our favorite poet, Celia Laighton Thaxter (1835 – 1894). Born on June 29, 1835 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Celia spent that majority of her life at the Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. As a young girl, […]
Backyard Cold Case Final Report: On Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at approximately 6:00 AM, while on routine patrol, I received a vandalism report from the Vole family.

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. […]
Dogs, have ever been falsely accused of sleeping on the job? Believe it or not, despite working very hard supervising Mom and Dad, they routinely make this accusation. 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 […]
