Can you keep a secret? Last night I had the best sleep ever, but don’t tell Mom or Dad! Dad forgot to shut the downstairs gate before heading up to bed. It’s been months since the gate has been left open all night! Now normally I jump at the chance to explore the house and […]
Do you want a dog, but without all the hassle? Or are you searching for the prefect gift for your cat friend who has everything? Or how about a fun craft project to do with the kids this weekend? Well we at Living with a Golden have you covered with our unique Build a Golden […]
Recently a few people on social media commented about the doll in the St. Patrick’s Day photo that we shared. I really can’t tell you more about her. In fact, I’m forbidden to speak of the doll. You see, that doll is Dad’s kryptonite. Our brave pack leader is afraid of “creepy dolls.” It’s his […]
I’m realizing that Mom and Dad’s obedience trainer hangs out with a bad crowd. You won’t believe who he invited to join us in class today. Two Squirrels who he kept insisting were some make believe creature called Ferrets. HA! Like he could fool me: brown, fuzzy, long tail, runs fast, unpredictable movements, you can’t […]
I gave Asa one job to do with our Honey Bees, one job! And despite the fact it was critical to do it in a small window of time, he hired someone else to do it for him! It was the Queen Bee he was suppose to trick, not me! Ok, I’m getting ahead of […]
Happy 199th Birthday to the State of Maine! On March 15, 1820, Maine officially became the 23rd state in the Union. Now in the song, “Portland, Maine,” Tim McGraw may have sung, “Portland, Maine, I don’t know where that is, And I don’t want to know,” but he’s missing out on a lot of fun […]
Yesterday while Chuck Billy was complimenting my unique approach to training Mom and Dad, he neglected to mention another major milestone I’ve reached. It is clear in this photo that I’ve had another growth spurt. Slowly but surely my Dire Wolf prophecy is coming true! For those of you who may not have been following […]
Once again Asa is putting his own spin, or in this case bounce, on Mom and Dad’s training. So far in their lessons he commando crawled his way through down/stays to greet adoring fans, rolled on his back with floppy paws waving in the air during an informal sit/stay competition, and ran zoomies around the […]
Sometime between Saturday night and early Sunday morning someone or something stole an hour of our time. This senseless crime has disrupted the schedules of dogs across the country. Yes, we need to save daylight time. But not for the reasons that they want you to think! This isn’t about sunlight! This is about a […]
Wow, who would have guessed one errand could trigger such a roller coaster ride of emotions! Oh, it’s me Asa. Recently Dad took me to the Subaru dealership, but never told me the purpose for our errand. Instead, Dad just sat me down in the waiting room and put a Barkley “Driving Lesson” brochure in […]
