Sorry cats, after centuries of debate the verdict has finally been reached. Dogs are indeed smarter than cats! According to an international team of scientists from six universities, dogs’ brains have more than twice as many cortical neurons than cats’ brains. These neurons are linked to thinking, planning and complex behavior. Thus making dogs smarter […]
During December we are going to take a brief break from posting trail reviews and will resume in January. However, to wrap up this year’s adventures, we’d like to present our 2nd Annual Golden Tail Wags Awards. Oh sure you’d expect this to be about the best of the best. It’s not. Our awards are […]
While looking through old photos I made a startling discovery. Asa’s personality traits can be traced to one toy he played with as a puppy. That one item singlehandedly inspired his belief that he’s a wolf, with a passion for music, and a lifelong friendship with stuffed animals! Like all great superheroes, this is Asa’s […]
Today would have been my big brother Lemmy’s 11th birthday. I’ve told Asa about the devoted bond Lemmy had with his Momma Butter emailing her for every holiday, how he was a bit of a curmudgeon when I first arrived home, and then there are the stories of how he played with Grandpa. However, today […]

And so it begins again. It is that time of year when Mom loses her mind and insists on turning the entire house into what can best be described as an explosion at Santa’s Village. Seriously, soon every room in this house will be festooned in Christmas decorations. Nothing is safe, not even the bathroom! […]

In honor of Thanksgiving, I would like to share with you the adventures of the dogs who accompanied the Pilgrims to Plymouth Plantation. Among the 100 passengers and 30 crew members on the Mayflower there were at least two dogs. Unfortunately William Bradford is silent on the contributions of dogs to the new colony in his […]
‘Tis the season of giving, and I’m taking that message to heart. Last January my grandparents gave me a gift card for my birthday. However, I already have everything I need, a bacon scented squeaky ball and treats. What more could a dog want? Well apparently Asa needs stuff, especially since I may have accidentally […]
