Since Asa’s arrival home I have considered our relationship as I am the teacher and he is the student. But it dawned on me that I could learn a thing or two from Asa. Case in point, stealing socks. I LOVE socks! Who can resist the way they smell, how tasty they are to chew […]
Recently I was talking to an elderly Beagle, Jake, who spent his whole life living on the seacoast. You know how old timers are, always telling stories about the good old days. But as I listened to him tell me about all the beaches and parks where dogs were allowed during his youth and are […]
There comes a time in every dog’s life where he must answer the call of adventure, and search for pirate treasure! With Asa as my first mate and my parents as my hearty crew, we set off to Wells Beach, Maine on our quest…
“…I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.” ~ John Masefield, Sea-Fever (1913) […]
Farewell Winter! Although you overstayed your welcome, I did have a lot of fun, and will hold onto these frosty memories during the dog days of summer. PS: I bet you’re surprised to see that I’m a multilinguist. All dogs naturally speak many languages. How else do you think we know what you’re telling us?!

Despite the surprise snowstorm last week, Spring is slowly but surely making an appearance here in Maine. But with it comes a whole new set of problems for my little brother. Namely, where to go to the bathroom?! From the day Asa came home we thought we were doing an excellent job housebreaking him. Little […]
Have you ever noticed how similar teething puppies are to zombies? Let’s start with the obvious, they each have a desire to sink their teeth into human flesh. Luckily Asa doesn’t want to eat Mom, but one look at her hands and you can see he’s tasted his fair share of flesh. Next the awkward […]
First off I’d like to thank Chuck Billy for doing a great job as a big brother explaining to me the curious ways of humans. But advance warning on holidays would have been appreciated. I’m still getting use to our regular routine, and have to admit I’m a little confused on the concept of weekdays […]
Yesterday we were victims of a crime, and my parents could care less! Sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning a rabbit broke into our home and hid my kibble in various locations around the living room. This is an outrage! It’s bad enough that a rabbit was playing with my food, but it is […]
