Have I mentioned Grandma isn’t a dog person? Please don’t get me wrong. Grandma absolutely adores Asa and me, and loves spending time with us. However, she doesn’t quite understand what it means to be a dog. Take my birthday present for example. Grandma gave me a stuffed animal dog that she said reminded her […]
During the long winter months it’s important to keep dogs entertained both mentally and physically, but that doesn’t always require a trip outside to play. To keep Asa and myself from coming down with cabin fever during cold and icy days, we like to play Nose Work games! Nose work is a sport based on […]
February 3rd is National Golden Retriever Day! To celebrate I’d like to share some fun facts about our favorite breed. The first Golden Retrievers were bred in 1868 by Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, also known as Lord Tweedmouth, at his Scottish Highlands estate of Guisachan. In his quest for the prefect gun dog and retriever for […]
You may have seen on the news yesterday that unexplained lights were seen shooting across the night sky over Southern California on Wednesday. However, despite dozens of eye witnesses, the “experts” would like you to believe that it was anything from a meteor to “space trash” from a manmade object entering the atmosphere, and NOT a […]
Hey, thanks for coming to my birthday party! I’m 8 years old today! Asa really went above and beyond planning this surprise party for me. So while I go mingle with the other guests, I’ll let him show you around all the stuff we’ve got going on today. Enjoy my party! I’ll chat more with […]
Asa, sit. We need to have a little talk. No! don’t sit there! That’s exactly why we’re having this conversation! It has become increasingly difficult for me to ignore your lack of spatial awareness. Now I take some of the blame here. I admit I’ve been remiss in my responsibilities homeschooling you in recent years. […]
The New England Patriots are not in the Super Bowl this year, but I know of one dog with a Maine connection who worked really hard this season for them. No, I’m not talking about me. Tom Brady ignored my offer to be his Retriever Receiver this season. I’m talking about Boyd, who works at […]
On Friday morning sometime between my morning walk and my afternoon one, my leash mysteriously disappeared. This sounds like a case for Detective Chuck Billy! I began my investigation by searching both the usual and unusual places my leash could be hidden. However, I found no trace of it. I then interrogated Dad, who was […]
Today is National Peanut Butter Day, not to be confused with National Peanut Butter Lovers Day which takes place in March or National Peanut Butter Month which everyone knows is November. Anyways, Asa would like to dedicate his “Ode to Peanut Butter” to our big brother, Lemmy, who absolutely loved this treat. So much so […]
Awards season is here, and we are excited to announce the return of the Golden Tail Wags Awards! Our sincere apologies for not presenting any awards last year. There was a bit of controversy over who should host it. But enough about us, it is time to announce the winners of the most weird and […]
