Mom and Asa have been very busy festooning every inch of this house with some sort of Christmas decoration. It is funny how each of us react to decorating differently. Take my brother angel Lemmy for example. He detested change, and was always upset this time of year. Lemmy would pace around the house growling, […]
Dogs, put on your favorite ugly Christmas sweater, tie on a festive bandana, or dust off your Santa suit, because the annual Christmas Prelude Pooch Parade in Kennebunkport, Maine is happening this Sunday, December 11, 2022! Pups will gather at 10:45 AM at the Consolidated School (25 School Street, Kennebunkport, ME), and will step off […]
Asa here. I’ve always felt bad for the Abominable Snowman in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Did anyone ever take the time to talk to him? Maybe he didn’t mean to be big and scary? Perhaps like some dogs, he was just unsocialized and wanted a hug? Regardless, that holiday special has given Yetis a […]
If you’re looking for that jaw dropping gift, this is NOT the post for you. Instead this is about small acts of kindness that may not seem like much, but can truly make the Holidays special. Last week I shared ideas on giving of your time and talents to help nonprofits. Today I’m sharing ideas […]
Asa here. I’m working on writing my letter to Santa. This year rather than write a traditional note, I thought I’d put my thoughts to musical notes by writing him a song. Santa must get bored reading the same type of letters each year. But what tune to parody? There’s the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe.” If […]
We have good news and bad news with Asa’s journey with Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis (GRPU). The good news is the steroid eyedrops are doing their job to keep the disease from progressing in his eyes. The bad news is the steroid eyedrops are not intended for longterm use, and Asa is now starting to […]
Get into the Holiday spirit this weekend at the Adopt A Tree Festival to support Lucky Pup Rescue! This is one of our favorite events, and each year it gets bigger and better than ever. In fact, this year it has moved to a NEW location, the Dunlap Masonic Lodge in Biddeford, Maine (264 Pool […]
Yesterday would have been our brother Angel Lemmy’s 16th birthday. Isla Paschal Richardson, once wrote, “Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you.” So today we are sharing an email Lemmy sent at just 9 months old to his Momma Butter filled with […]
Let’s face it, with the cost of everything going up from dog food to kitty litter, animal shelters and pet food pantries need help more than ever. Yet with personal budgets stretched thin, it can be overwhelming with so many nonprofits vying for your support. But there is a way to help! Giving can be […]
Asa isn’t the only one celebrating a birthday this month. Mom is too. Now it is no secret that Dad likes to give Mom practical gifts. Last year he gave her rain gutters for the house. There was also the year he gave her snow tires. And who can forget the year he accidentally cracked […]
