Yesterday Mom wrote about the upcoming Green Mountain Iron Dog Competition. But what she didn’t mention is that my brother Lemmy was an Iron Dog Champion! In 2008 he participated in the Working Dog Foundation’s Iron Dog. To this day we are still proud of what my goofy big brother accomplished that day. The following […]
A couple weeks ago we attended Dog Daze II Dock Diving competition in Kittery. What an amazing sport! It combines everything that we love! There’s running, jumping, fetching, and swimming! It is the ultimate sport for Golden Retrievers! But as usual, Mom and Dad crushed our dreams. Would you believe they forced us to sit […]
My silly little brother would like to share with you today his major “discovery.” So without further ado, here’s Asa: Recently on my evening walk I made a huge discovery – tennis balls grow on trees! We were visiting a neighbor when my eyes locked on this awesome tree growing in the far corner of […]
The following is a public service announcement from Chuck Billy and Asa: We’d like to talk with you today about a serious topic – Retrieving. Many people inaccurately assume that just because we are Golden Retrievers we can retrieve. However, that cannot be further from the truth! Eye / mouth coordination is a skill not […]
I found a way to scare my little brother, Asa! Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh. Despite being well past the teething stage, Zombie Puppy still can’t resist chomping down on me. What if I totally scare the little guy into thinking he really did turn me into a Zombie Dog?! I stumbled upon this unattended basket […]
Back in the Spring Dad planted a box garden. Well as predicted by me, it didn’t grow any boxes. But shockingly he did grow magic beans! I had joked about that, but who knew it would actually happen? The green beans he planted turned into huge flowers that tower over my head. Mom says that […]
Recently we attended the the UFO Festival in Exeter, New Hampshire. Finally I had the opportunity to hang out with like-minded individuals, while spreading the word on the dangers of dog abductions by Aliens. But as usual, Asa ruined everything! As soon as we arrived he was the center of attention. He was even interviewed […]
School buses are awesome! It is the ultimate car ride for dogs: They are filled with kids who want to play. Kids who are easily distracted and may lose track of their delicious lunches and snacks. And unlike Mom and Dad’s cars, school buses have a runway straight down the middle for dogs to stretch […]
In honor of Labor Day, I’d like to give a shout out to the hardest working dogs I know – the K9s of the Working Dog Foundation! These highly trained dogs are accomplished professionals who are on duty day and night helping to protect our police officers and assist them locate and rescue missing persons; detect […]
Recently I read an amusing article by the AKC listing Golden Retrievers as the fourth smartest dog, behind Border Collies, Poodles and German Shepherds. With all due respect, clearly their research is flawed. We are brilliant and should be ranked at the top of that list. So while I enjoy a little rest and relaxation […]
