There is some debate as to whether it was the eye specialist, the emergency surgeon, or the discharge vet tech, but somewhere along the way we were told to keep Asa’s routine as close to normal as possible, and he’ll adjust well to his new life with one eye. So while Mom and Dad worry […]
Hi Friends! It’s me, Asa! Thank you for the positive vibes, healing thoughts and prayers. I can feel your love surrounding me. Mom and Dad have been reading to me your special messages too, and the outpouring of love and kindness truly means a lot to us. Thank you! Slowly but surely each day finds […]
Dear friends, on Friday Asa had to have emergency surgery to remove his left eye. Events escalated quickly, and it was our only option to relieve Asa’s excruciating pain. This journey began 4 weeks ago when Asa developed blood in his pupil. Since 2018 Asa has been monitored by an ophthalmologist for Golden Retriever Pigmentary […]
Coach Chuck Billy here. Dogs, gather around. We need to discuss our game plan for Sunday’s Super Bowl. Soon humans will be gathering in front of the television to gorge themselves on food while watching football. This day dedicated to eating is even better than Thanksgiving, because humans will be distracted and not necessarily focused […]
The coyotes are back, and looking for trouble again. I heard them howling in the night, but it wasn’t until my morning walk that I realized just how close they were. In the dusting of snow we got overnight, I saw their fresh paw prints in my driveway, headed towards my neighbor’s yard. Not only […]
Humans are creatures of habit. Humans are also easily distracted. Combine the two, and things can get embarrassingly messy. Such was the case on a recent walk with Dad. Dad begins our daily morning walk by stuffing his pockets with poop bags. As we walk along, he tends to lose concentration on the task at […]
Over the weekend, parts of the country experienced a “once in a generation cold snap.” The subfreezing temperatures tested even the hardiest of Mainers, weather records were broken, and scientists at the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire recorded it as the coldest place in the world. Thankfully temperatures have since warmed up and are […]
Imagine this scenario. A dog is playing with a squeaky toy in the living room. Dad walks in, sits on the couch, and places a plate with a cookie on the cushion beside him. Dad begins to scroll through endless TV options, ignoring said cookie. Suddenly he is broken from his scrolling trance, not by […]
A birthday isn’t complete without a game that also acts as a party favor to remind you of that special celebration. And that’s exactly what we did for my birthday! A special thank you to our friends Tori, Grant and Andy for telling us about this art project. Please note: we did this last weekend […]
It is 6:45 PM and cold out. Yet here I stand in my backyard staring up at the night sky hoping for a glimpse of yet another out of this world phenomenon. I may be a renowned Dog Ufologist, but I never said it was easy. It all started back in December 2012 when I […]
