I can’t help but wonder what happened to me on Wednesday? It had all the telltale signs of an UFO abduction, including missing period of time and an unexplained medical procedure performed on me. We know these classic signs, thanks to Betty and Barney Hill, who were the first to publicly report being abducted by […]
Thank you to everyone for your well wishes! Typing with one paw makes it difficult to respond to each of you individually. Please know though that I am completely awestruck by all your love, prayers, and kind words of support. Having Asa as my nurse is also motivating me to heal as quickly as possible! […]
At approximately 6:30 AM on the morning of September 2, 2020 after returning from neighborhood patrol, I received a report by concerned citizen Mom that bloody paw prints were found in the living room. This sounds like a case for Detective Chuck Billy! I immediately secured the area so that myself and my assistant, Asa, […]
As we continue to celebrate Maine’s 200th anniversary, today I’m sharing fun facts about our official soft drink, Moxie! Created by Mainer, Dr. Augustin Thompson in 1876, this bitter drink was originally marketed as patent medicine called “Moxie Nerve Food.” Thompson wasn’t too far from the truth there. The main ingredient of Moxie, gentian root […]
To those of you who suggested that Asa make friends with critters bigger than bugs, he listened. After months of not being able to do laundry, Mom headed down to the basement and was greeted by a mouse. Now clearly this mouse was just as surprised to see Mom, as she was to see her, […]
Recently I was chatting with my friends Finn and Seamus about our humans’ embarrassing habit of singing while we take them for walks. Additional dogs also joined our conversation and revealed that they too suffer from this embarrassing problem. This made me realize that I am not alone! This crime against dogmanity must end! So […]
Asa here. I performed at my first concert! I don’t actually remember what I sang, or how big the audience was, but I have it on good authority from my Dentist that I did a lot of singing! Oh sure I always imagined my first concert would take place at a sold out stadium, or […]
Dogs, there’s nothing more comforting than gazing lovingly at our humans. Yet sadly Golden Retrievers are predisposed to a disease that could rob us of our vision! Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis is a serious condition because it is chronic and can result in total vision loss. Yet early signs of the disease are subtle, and […]
Social distancing can be difficult, especially when you’re an overly friendly Golden Retriever like Asa. However, I never realized what extremes Asa would go through to make new friends, while missing his old ones. It all began earlier this summer when Asa rolled on an anthill in an attempt to invite his little friends inside […]
As I shared earlier, sadly my Honey Bees did not survive the winter and my hives sat empty this spring, when I was unable to order more due to the pandemic. However, hope springs eternal! Therefore I made my hives as welcoming as could be to hopefully attract new bees. I left the frames laden […]
