Earlier this week I shared the secret as to why Asa enjoys mornings so much. Today I thought I’d share my new appreciation for bedtime. I’ve never been much of an early riser. Nor have I ever been a late night party animal. I tend to keep the same schedule as Mom and Dad, that […]
Learn about Maine’s early history at dog friendly Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site. Located in New Harbor, Maine, Pemaquid Point has been used for thousands of years by Native Americans, and became an English outpost and fishing station in the 1600s. It was also the site of the early conflicts in the 17th and 18th […]
It finally all makes sense! Mom thought she named Asa after her ancestor, who was a fisherman with a dry wit. Whereas Asa misunderstood and assumed Mom named him after the Japanese word asa which translates to “morning!” No wonder Asa lives by the motto of rise and shine, and insists that we all wake […]
When you’re a celebrity such as Asa and myself, we’re often noticed when we go places. Take for example our recent visit to Bug Light Park, when members of a bike tour shouted compliments as they pedaled past us relaxing at the park. They said everything from a cheery, “aren’t they cute!” to the leader […]

The story of Fawnzie began with a misheard conversation over a loud air conditioner. Dad and I had just returned from a walk and wanted to tell Mom and Asa about our new neighbor. However, it was difficult to hear over the drone of the AC, and Mom had the classic TV show “Happy Days” […]
We bugged Mom and Dad to take us for a scenic dog walk at Bug Light Park in South Portland, Maine. This dog friendly park offers a picturesque lighthouse, and views of Casco Bay and Portland’s skyline. It is also part of the Greenbelt Walkway. Although modeled on an ancient Greek monument, beautiful Portland Breakwater […]
In celebration of National Dog Photography Day, we are saluting the unsung people behind the lens who capture everything from the mundane to the extraordinary in the lives of dogs. Some of these images have become iconic and are burned into minds around the word. Other photos are captured by folks risking life and limb […]
The other day while on the way back from a hike, Dad stopped at the pharmacy to pick up more of Asa’s eyedrops. Normally we get our medications from our veterinarian’s office, but these eyedrops are prescribed by a specialist in another state. Therefore it is easier to get refills at our local human pharmacy.
