The world is a dangerous place, especially for curious puppies. Don’t believe me? Then check out this mind boggling list of poisons put together by the Pet Poison Helpline. Now I have to be honest, when I first saw this list I wanted to put my little brother in a bubble. But then I started […]
I’m not sure how it happened, but somehow I’m now invisible when out in public. I started noticing it around the time Asa joined our family. We’d be out and about and people would be cooing over him, but somehow no one seemed to notice me. I used to be the center of attention everywhere […]
It’s time to circle the wagons, our homestead is in danger! I knew as soon as Mom let us out that something was different. I immediately recognized the scent in the air, and one quick survey of the wood line confirmed my suspicions – there was a coyote in my territory! Now I’ve seen coyotes […]
With the temperature finally rising above freezing, and the snow packed down from snowmobiles, it was time to hit the trails for Asa’s first walk in the woods! We were all excited to show him our favorite places along the trail: Dad, the open field; Mom, the frozen brook; and I couldn’t wait to start […]
Hello, Asa here. I’ve been living here for a little over a month now, and would like to take a moment to clear up a few misconceptions. First off, don’t be fooled by my fuzzy cute appearance. Just because I currently weigh in at just under 30 lbs., including the fluff factor, in these veins […]
I have to give Mom and Dad credit. They’ve been doing a great job teaching Asa the fundamentals of sit, stay, come, and down. But they aren’t teaching him the most important skill of all – hunting! Clearly they just take for granted my hard work day in and day out protecting them from squeaky […]
Ok, I admit it, I’m awesome! Who could resist wanting to follow my every move? So for this reason I’m trying to be patient with Asa. But I believe we are long overdue for a conversation on personal space. Heck, I can’t even chew my toys without Asa nuzzling in for a closer look at […]
Yesterday hit 32 degrees! So what do Mainers do to celebrate? We head to the beach of course! Mom and Dad grabbed their Yaktrax ice cleats, I slapped on my GoPro Hero, and we headed off to Fort Foster in Kittery, Maine! Thanks to dedicated cross country skiers and snowshoers, there were miles of packed snow […]
As this winter wears on I continue to suffer from an extreme case of cabin fever. Well you can’t even begin to imagine my excitement after the most recent snowstorm when I discovered the fence was almost completely covered. Freedom beckoned! Up until now Asa’s world has been very limited. Here was my chance to […]
