As Mother Nature blankets New England in a spring snow, I can’t help but reflect upon words of wisdom from Mom’s Great Aunt Dottie. Her gentle guidance was a reassuring presence in our lives, but who also made us ponder important life lessons. In March of 2017, we overheard a conversation in which after living […]
Asa here. Not to brag, but for the third year in a row I have won our annual kibble hunt! Now for those keeping track, other than Chuck Billy, there have been accusations of unsportsdoglike behavior in the past, and an asterisk unfairly placed next to my name. In 2022 Chuck Billy claimed my friendship […]
Asa here. Ssshhh, come closer. I have something to tell you. Last week Chuck Billy mentioned that our posts would be sporadic lately due to out of town “relatives” who are visiting. What he neglected to mention was just how out of town they traveled in order to see the total eclipse that is now […]
Today Asa is hopping down memory lane with this post from 2018 when he thought he and the Easter Bunny were best friends. Thankfully, the Easter Bunny never did come over for a playdate. However, that ginormous rabbit does insist on sneaking in each year to hide my kibble around the living room! So while […]
Twelve years ago on this date, I spent my last day in the whelping box with my siblings, before setting out on my grand adventure! I’m feeling rather nostalgic, so please join me as I reminisce about my gotcha day. I was one of 9 siblings, 5 boys and 4 girls in the Ice Litter. […]
On Friday night the snow began to quietly fall, while the housemates slumbered. When morning awoke, we were greeted on that late March day with a winter wonderland. “Outside Boys!” Dad happily called, as he and Mom donned their snow gear recently tucked away in anticipation of spring. No further prompting needed, our snow day […]
Chuck Billy’s Editor’s Note: I would like to state for the record, that the following post in recognition of World Chipmunk Day is all Asa’s idea. Opinions expressed are all Asa’s, and do not reflect those of Living with a Golden. I’ll be off doing more important things while Asa shares his “fun” facts about […]
In honor of World Poetry Day, we would like to share with you our favorite poet, Celia Laighton Thaxter (1835 – 1894). Born on June 29, 1835 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Celia spent that majority of her life at the Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. As a young girl, […]
Backyard Cold Case Final Report: On Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at approximately 6:00 AM, while on routine patrol, I received a vandalism report from the Vole family. They found traces of digging in the backyard, unrelated to their usual dirt mounds. At the time of that report, I examined the area, and agreed that the […]
Today at exactly 11:06 PM EDT the 2024 spring equinox will occur. Mother Nature, that means you still have almost an entire day left to fill our order for snow. Just imagine the smiles on everyone’s faces, including our big goofy Golden grins, if you send us a surprise snowstorm today! You’d be the hero […]
