The Coyote Brothers are back. They came strolling into town sometime last week. No doubt looking for trouble and to have a good time. I heard them barking and howling last night. This morning I walked my property line with Dad and discovered they have been lurking in the woods just out of plain sight. […]
Asa here. By now I’m sure you’ve all read about my uncharacteristic behavior this past weekend. But before you pass judgement please let me tell my side of the story! After all this is America where all dogs are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Where to begin? Well I really have no excuse for eating […]
Wow, not sure what happened this weekend. My once obedient little brother is now a rebellious teenager. It all started innocently enough with him deciding to make a midnight snack out of his bed. Yep, the bed he was so proud of and waited so long to get now has a big hole in it. […]
Happy birthday to me! Tomorrow I’ll be 4 years old. Wow, 4 years old! Where did the time go? There’s a touch of white fur on my face these days, but it seems like just yesterday I was a little puppy following my big brother Lemmy everywhere. I’m feeling rather nostalgic today, so I hope […]
In addition to this week marking Asa’s arrival into our family, it is also the anniversary of Lemmy coming home. On January 25, 2007 Mom and Dad welcomed their first puppy into our family, and boy were they unprepared for this little guy! Don’t get me wrong, they didn’t get Lemmy on a whim. In […]
For our friends still digging out from this weekend’s storm, and as a reminder to us to appreciate this mild winter we are enjoying in New England, we’d like to share a video we made last winter, “Losing Asa.” It is about Chuck Billy’s harrowing adventure puppy sitting Asa during the Blizzard of 2015. Luckily […]
This week is the one year anniversary of Asa coming to live with us. Time for another performance review! I’ll be asking my little brother the same questions as I did for his First 100 Days Review and Six Month follow up: How do you see your role in this family? Excellent question! I see […]
Today is national “Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day!” So to celebrate Asa and myself will each answer a question from our kitty cousins, Koloa and DeNiro. For those of you wondering why we didn’t also ask Misty, well to be honest she scares us. And since we spend a lot of time at her house, […]
Recently I realized that my inner wolf is getting a bit soft, and that I had completely abandoned my duty of homeschooling Asa on tapping into his innate hunting instincts. So we rounded up Dad and headed off into our woods for a hike. It didn’t take long for me to catch scent that there […]
January is a good time to remind dogs of their important role in caring for their humans. It is good to have a consistent plan to meet their needs, and this holds especially true during the winter months. Exercise: Humans need plenty of exercise to burn off extra energy otherwise it could lead to unwanted […]
