This evening yet another town council is having a meeting to discuss tighter restrictions on dogs at their beach. In the past few years, we have seen places we once enjoyed ban dogs entirely, or enact highly restrictive rules, and yet we understand why towns feel they have no other choice but to do it. […]
My Honey Bees are back! After taking last summer off due to colony collapse, I am happy to announce I am once again a beekeeper! In anticipation for their grand arrival, Dad cleaned out my Chuck BEEly Hive to welcome them to Maine. As with my previous colonies, these Honey Bees are from an apiary […]
AC/DC once sang, “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna to rock ‘n roll.” I’m starting to realize just how correct they are as I continue to follow my dream to start a band. At the last headcount I have approximately 80 dogs and a few cats excited to be my backup […]
The traditional New England Golden Jubilee celebration is still on pause. However, there will be an informal Golden Retriever gathering this Saturday, May 15, 2021 at Dog Mountain. Although there will be no planned program, no fundraising auction or cookout, there will be tail wags as you greet old friends and make new ones at […]
Dear Readers, because Mom took a personal day off yesterday without asking my permission first, I do not have a post to share with you today.

Is your lawn looking a bit ruff this spring? Before you attempt the backbreaking work of rototilling, let us tear up, oops I mean, aerate your yard! No expensive equipment needed. No arduous work required. In fact, we’ll make it a pleasant afternoon. You just throw our ball repeatedly, and Asa and I will happily […]
Dad tries, he really does, but when it comes to Mother’s Day gifts, let’s just say he errs on the side of caution. In the past he has put our names on rather practical gifts for Mom. Don’t get me wrong. She appreciated them all, but they certainly lacked the wow factor. Take for example […]
The out of this world truth about UFOs is about to be revealed! Or at least some of the truth…maybe. In December 2020, the United States government enacted the Intelligence Authorization Act, which called for the release of an unclassified and all-sources report on unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP), the official military term used for unidentified […]
As you know I take my responsibility as guard dog very serious. However, despite my efforts, I can’t be in two places at once. So when away on neighborhood patrol I like to use my Number Two Security System. No, not Asa. He’s useless when it comes to guarding our home. In fact I’m sure […]
