Today is Patriots’ Day. A state holiday observed in Massachusetts and Maine commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War, which took place on April 19, 1775. Throughout the day today in Lexington and Concord there will be reenactments of this epic battle. But for those of […]
Today is NOT my lucky day. There I was on morning patrol, minding my own business while doing my business. The trees were alive with the music of singing birds. There were Robins happily enjoying breakfast on the neighbor’s lawn. There was also a flock of Canadian Geese flying overhead. In short, after a week […]
Marc Brown once wrote, “Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.” Although I’m quick to point out my superiority, when it comes down to it, Lemmy and Asa are rather awesome too in their own unique ways. So to celebrate National Siblings Day, I’m going to compliment my brothers. Lemmy is […]
Now that we’re finally getting a hint of spring in Maine, it’s time to take Mom and Dad’s training outside. Let’s face it, we’ve been working really hard all winter, but we’ve been cooped up practicing at the same old dog friendly stores and in our neighborhood. Mom and Dad know what we expect of […]
As you can see from the attached picture I am not happy. Why am I not happy, you ask? Everyone knows this is not my side of the travel crate. However, either Asa was not paying attention when he jumped into the car, or this is one of his bad jokes, because currently he is […]
Every so often Asa surprises me with his profound thoughts. It doesn’t happen often. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to re-share Asa’s rather astute observations on spring. This was originally posted back in April of 2015 when he was just a five month old puppy. Without further ado, here is Asa with his […]
Rumor has it that today is Local History Day! It makes Mom smile whenever we can combine her two interests of history and hiking. Therefore, I was planning to write a post where I list our favorite hikes through history with some fun facts. But as you can see, this is not that post. Instead […]
Exciting News! Mom and Dad have reached the point where we can begin their off-leash training! Bad News! Once again their trainer is messing with our time honored commands that we’ve used to train them. He is replacing our recall command of “come” with “heel!” Now I somewhat understand Mom and Dad’s trainer’s philosophy. He’s […]
Asa here. I can’t keep my out of this world secret any longer. Chuck Billy, the renowned Dog Ufologist, is actually an alien! His UFO crash landed in our living room years ago. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, his bumpy landing gave him a case of amnesia, so he doesn’t remember that he’s from a galaxy […]
I’d just like to begin this post by stating, Dad, I never doubted your intentions for a moment, unlike another dog in this family who did! Dad’s epic quest began on Tuesday evening. I admit I was preoccupied watching Mom prepare my dinner, and I wasn’t really paying attention to Dad. I do vaguely recall […]
