These are the times that try dogs’ souls. After a month of being unable to play fetch because the backyard is covered in ice, it is finally almost melted. So what does Mother Nature do? She’s sending us more snow! Now don’t get me wrong, I love winter. However, I also love spring. And Mother […]
Mother Nature put on quite a show for us this past weekend. Although Friday’s nor’easter was not a direct hit on Maine, it did coincide with astronomical high tides. Thus setting the stage for an awe inspiring performance along the coast. For the past three years we have shared on our Dog Friendly Places page […]
It’s time to play everyone’s favorite game – Dog Bed Tetris! Why take a boring nap, when you can turn it into a game? The rules are simple. How many different ways can two Golden Retrievers fit onto one oversized dog bed? It may sound easy, but it’s not. Anything can happen during this game […]
Apparently yesterday was National Peanut Butter Lovers Day. Not to be confused with National Peanut Butter Day which takes place in January or National Peanut Butter Month which everyone knows is November.

Asa here. Mom and I both have our annual physicals this week! However, whereas I look forward to seeing my veterinarian, Mom is a bit reluctant to see her doctor. What’s not to love? To show her there is nothing to fear, I decided to invite Mom to tag along on my yearly wellness checkup […]

This week Asa and I competed in the ice dancing competition at the Dog Winter Olympics. Ice dancing is more than just gliding on the ice, it is as ethereal as ballet, with two bodies moving as one. There are no lifts above the head, no heroic jumps, just pure self-expression as we glide across […]
Today is one of those rare days in winter where Mother Nature gives us hope that spring is on the way. After a bone chilling January, Mother Nature is giving us beach weather in February! Ok, so there’s still snow on the beach, and Mom is wearing boots instead of flip flops. But by Maine […]
Many dogs have called the White House home and have proudly served our country as top dog. However today I’d like to pay tribute to two devoted presidential dog owners, whose best friends never set a paw in the White House.
