This week Golden Retrievers from across the UK and beyond will be headed to Guisachan in the highlands of Scotland to celebrate the 155th Anniversary of the breed! In 1868, in his quest for the prefect gun dog and retriever for sportsmen, Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, later known as Lord Tweedmouth, bred a Yellow Wavy-coated Retriever […]
It has been brought to my attention that some of our friends would like to know the story behind our names. Lemmy, Asa and I are named after Mom’s ancestors who lived in the 1800s at the Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. Consisting of 9 islands, our focus today […]
For the second stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine, we visited Gully Oven Natural Area in Lebanon, Maine. Millions of years in the making, this unique geological feature is named for the oven shaped cavern formed amongst the rocks. With its dramatic sheer bedrock cliff that soars overhead, a waterfall rushing down the rock […]
Alright, I admit the first stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine was a bit of a washout by being overly ambitious. Hence why for the second stop we are visiting a smaller venue that is perfect for an up and coming rock star. We are rocking and rolling from Lebanon, the westernmost town in […]
As Americans prepare to celebrate Independence Day on July 4th, I’d like to pause to acknowledge the patriotic dogs that helped shape our country. After all, as every dog knows, next to every great human is an even more awesome pup! Or at least that is my theory concerning the signers of the Declaration of […]

The first stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine was to Peabody-Fitch Woods and Narramissic Farm in Bridgton, Maine. Consisting of 252 acres, this dog friendly historic site includes trails that range from easy to moderate, and even remnants of an historic road that once led to Denmark. On a clear day there are views […]
Welcome to the first stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine – Denmark! Located in Oxford County, Denmark, Maine boasts a population of just under 2,000, according to the 2020 census, and based on the town website, no one really knows why this community was named Denmark. Asa: Wow, are all those cars in the […]

We are proud to announce Asa’s World Tour…of Maine! Alright, so although Dad’s new car is a Passport, apparently that is […]
