In our quest to understand the history of dogs, we’ve already established that dogs became domesticated from wolves approximately 40,000 years ago, and that the special bond between humans and dogs could be seen in prehistoric rock drawings depicting individualized dogs hunting alongside humans. However, how did we go from wolves to the variety of […]
Welcome to the 4th Annual Golden Tail Wags Awards! Normally we celebrate the weird and wonderful things we’ve seen on our Dog Friendly Places adventures the previous year.

However, we must also keep an eye to the sky here at home! While we’re all focused on exploring other planets, there are UFOs that are just […]

Not knowing what the item was, I sent my patrol sergeant, Dad, into the hazardous thicket far off the trail to […]
This weekend marks the one year anniversary of when we last visited with Grandma under the same roof. Little did we realize that those news reports of an illness on the other side of the world, would soon be at our neck of the woods, forcing us to keep our distance. But on that seemingly […]
Dogs, are your humans getting on your nerves? Do you need something to distract them so you can have a little peace if only for a couple hours? We recommend registering them for Virtual Wine Tasting and Paint Night to benefit the animals at the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals! […]
On Monday we shared with you some tips on hiking with dogs in winter. Followed by our post on Tuesday on the domestication of wolves into dogs.
