It’s no secret that dogs love car rides. Every year countless dogs head out on the open road to drive across the country with their owners. However, do you know who is the first dog to go on a cross country road trip in America? That honor goes to Bud, an American Pit Bull Terrier! […]
As many of our friends with both four legs and two, young and old, go back to school this week, I would like to share with you the sage advice I gave Asa when he was just a pup. These words of inspiration can be found carved in stone along the Babson Boulder Trail in […]
Perhaps it isn’t just Mom, Dad, Asa, and their trainer, that could benefit from making a few changes. Perhaps I could use a little help too. It has come to my attention that I may have some separation issues. Ok, I admit it. I sometimes get jealous of Asa when he’s the center of attention. […]
Recently I was asked how I became a renown Dog Ufologist. It all happened at that incident in Exeter. No, I’m not talking about the infamous UFO sighting that occurred in Exeter, New Hampshire in 1965. I’m referring to my attendance at the Exeter UFO Festival in 2015. The Exeter UFO Festival is an annual […]
I think I may have accidentally created a monster. Don’t get me wrong. I take great pride in seeing my goofy little brother transform from a floppy puppy embarrassed being the center of attention, to a dog who proudly sits and accepts his celebrity status.

While out and about accompanying Mom and Dad on errands we drove past Mayor Baxter Woods in Portland, Maine.

You’re not going to believe this, but Mom’s old camera is working again! Yes, the camera that broke in July. The very same camera that the guy at the repair store said couldn’t be fixed. It suddenly decided to work again! Mom was reluctant to get rid of her faithful companion, so it has been […]
This has been a sad week for us. The woman we all hoped would live forever passed away at the age of 98. Mom’s Great Aunt Dottie was a quiet reassuring presence in our lives. Always supportive, but also asking the important questions, Great Aunt Dottie’s gentle, witty guidance will be deeply missed. Today I would […]
Dogs are keen observers of humans. We also are astute at reading a situation and responding appropriately. Thanks to many hours dedicated to watching Mom and Dad, I now have a good grasp on what words, phrases or sounds they commonly use that mean fun is about to happen. Now every dog knows the obvious […]
I take back everything negative I’ve said about Mom and Dad’s trainer. The man is a genius! This week he finally gave me the recognition I deserve. He put me on a pedestal! Clearly Mom and Dad weren’t worshipping me like they should. To clear up any confusion, this week in class their trainer put […]
