We’ve all heard the phrase the “Dog Days of Summer.” But have you stopped to think about where this phrase to describe the hot weather began? Well as your trusted Dog Ufologist, I can assure you the answer is in the stars. Second only to the Sun, Sirius is the brightest star visible from Earth, […]
Today is National Spoil Your Dog Day. Asa and I are very fortunate that we have everything we could ever want. Our bowls are full, we have more toys than we know what to do with, and we have a family that adores us, who can be with us as much as we want. Sadly, […]
The Miller Park Papermill Trail in Lisbon, Maine is an easy, dog friendly walk along the Sabattus River. The trail is a little over 2 miles one way, paved, and handicapped accessible. It is a multi-use path with a short section used for atvs, and very popular for fishing, especially in the area of the […]
We let inspiration flow when Asa’s World Tour of Maine rolled into Lisbon. Located along the Androscoggin and Sabattus Rivers, the Abenaki called the falls Anmecangin, meaning “much fish.” The colonists later named the settlement Little River.

The sixth stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine is Paris! Paris, Maine is believed to have been named after the city in France, but no one seems to be able to explain why. I find it interesting though that this land granted in 1771 to 60 people for their service in the French and […]
The pages of rock history are filled with stories about fans sneaking into hotel rooms just to be close to their idol. So I knew it was only a matter of time before one followed me home. Recently we returned from yet another successful stop on my world tour of Maine, and discovered a feathered […]
