I’m beginning to question if Mom and Dad are taking their training serious. Asa and I are rocking their sit and stay training. I admit at first it was difficult to watch Mom and Dad wander farther and farther away from us, while we just sat there. I may have even panicked a few times […]
After taking 113,476 photos, Mom’s camera broke! This camera was practically an appendage. If it wasn’t in Mom’s hand, it was nearby, usually in her right front pocket. Mom by no means considers herself a photographer. Instead, she fancies herself our family’s historian, documenting good times and sad, ordinary and extraordinary days, and of course […]
This week we’ve seen tweets about blistering hot temperatures across Europe and the United States. We’ve also read posts reminding us that there are only 5 shopping months until Christmas. This inspired Asa to combine the two and write a duet with Mom dedicated to summer and set to the tune of the Holiday classic, “Baby, […]
In honor of the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, I thought I’d share with you the time Asa got mistaken for a Great White Shark. As you know from our Dog Friendly Places reviews, we love visiting Maine beaches. Well back in June 2015, we were very amused when following our visit to Wells Beach a […]
I’m beginning to think Mom and Dad’s trainer is a cat person. Asa and I arrived at their second class full of exuberance to see their trainer. Would you believe he ignored us? No petting, no happily greeting us, not even a treat! And I know he had treats because I could smell them in […]
Our Grandma is from “away,” which loosely translates to anyplace other than Maine. Therefore, Asa and I wanted to give her a true Maine experience for her recent visit. Our original plan was to begin the day with a beach romp. However, Grandma’s insistence on sleeping past 6 AM and eating breakfast first made it […]
Today I’m giving Mom a rare day off, because Grandma is visiting for the weekend! However, I’m taking this opportunity to re-share my post on how I got my name. Lemmy, Asa and I are named after Grandpa’s ancestors who lived in the nineteenth century at the Isles of Shoals on a tiny island off […]
There’s a suspicious character lurking around our backyard. It is a mysterious stranger with an obvious fake mustache! But who is this winged intruder? Theory 1: He is a spy working with the Squirrels on some diabolical plot to steal the wild blueberries growing in our yard. Theory 2: He is in the witness protection […]
Mom and Dad’s first training class didn’t go quite as expected. However, I believe we are on the right track to retraining them to be more responsive to our demands, oops I mean commands. Anyways, as soon as we arrived to class, the trainer immediately separated us! He tied Asa to one corner, me to […]
It was a quiet Saturday morning. Asa and I were enjoying our post-breakfast nap, and Mom had just settled in to watch a little TV. Then suddenly our tranquil bliss was ruined with the ear piercing chirp of a smoke alarm! Instantly I ran to the door! After all, everyone knows you’re suppose to get […]
