Dogs, did you know food has flavor and texture? Seriously, it does! I can’t believe I’ve been gulping it down all these years, and never noticed that until I got this new bowl. It all started a few months ago when I started vomiting every so often. Dr. Doug thought I may have developed a […]
Thus far in Mom and Dad’s obedience training we have focused on their polite leash walking and how to deal with mine and Asa’s celebrity status when human fans approach. Now we’re going to focus on training Mom and Dad on the polite greeting of dogs. However, it seems that Mom and Dad’s trainer and […]
With temperatures continuing to hover well below freezing, and no substantial snow in sight in the forecast for southern Maine, it appears Mother Nature has ignored my recent request. Therefore, Asa is taking a different approach by writing a catchy song to the tune of “Winter Wonderland,” that will perhaps get Mother Nature to realize […]
The Coyote Brothers came strolling through our yard again. No doubt they were taking a shortcut after visiting that new Cottontail Rabbit restaurant that opened up in the thicket not too far from our property. Like most ne’er-do-wells, Coyotes don’t like showing their faces in daylight, and instead prefer do their deeds under the cover […]
Dear Mother Nature, your weather lately has made our tails droop, not cool. In fact that’s precisely the problem. The weather has not been cool enough for snow one day, and then bitterly cold the next.

Now that things are quieting down again, it’s time to resume Mom and Dad’s obedience training!

As everyone knows, my motto is “Fetch is Life!” Now most may assume I learned how to play the best game ever from my big brother, Lemmy. However that is far from the truth. You see Lemmy took a different approach and enjoyed playing “Har, Har, I have the Ball and You Don’t.” Those rules […]
I found this old video of me wrestling with my inner puppy. Well actually, I was wrestling with my frozen bag of poop. But it symbolized so much more! This video was made in 2015, just a few weeks before Asa’s homecoming when I was just shy of my third birthday. That wasn’t just a […]
I can’t believe it came and went without us even noticing. We’ve written over 1,000 blog posts! January 2019 marks the 4th anniversary of our blog, Living with a Golden. Four years ago I started this blog with three goals in mind. First, to share with you my hopes and dreams of raising my younger […]
Although the countdown is over, the sentiments from Hillary DePiano’s one act play, New Year’s Thieve, continue to hold true. May we all enjoy the magic of this moment as we begin this New Year together. “MOTHER TIME: Life goes by so very fast, my dears, and taking the time to reflect, even once a […]
