So it happened again. Two fishermen supposedly saw a Great White Shark off the coast of Maine. Luckily, it was a harmless Basking Shark, who often get confused for their more mean spirited relatives. This most recent incident in Scarborough reminds of the time a couple years ago when as a puppy Asa was confused […]
As you know, I take my job as guard dog very serious. Not to brag, but I have protected my family from Squirrels, Deer, and the occasional UPS delivery guy. However, never before has anyone brazenly broke into my home like the winged intruder who tormented my family yesterday! Oh sure people from away think […]
At times Asa may steal my thunder. However together we make a formidable team that the ladies can’t resist. On Saturday we were enjoying a quiet evening in the historic gardens at Hamilton House, when a group of human teenagers stumbled upon us. Instantly the girls surrounded us, cooing with delight as they petted Asa […]

And so it begins, dogs’ least favorite holiday, the 4th of July. It’s not even July yet, and the fireworks have already started! Seriously, fireworks on July 4th are bad enough. Why extend my torture by randomly shooting them off days ahead of schedule? As far as I can tell no other holiday is celebrated […]
More dogs go missing on the 4th of July than on any other day of the year. Dogs do not enjoy fireworks, nor do they understand it is a celebration. While most dog owners are vigilant at home protecting their dogs from getting lost, it is easy for even the most dedicated helicopter dog parents […]
In Greek mythology the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast. However, did you know Maine has it’s own version of the Sirens, leading innocent Dogs to fall off rocky cliffs? Recently during our hike at the Devil’s Back Trail in Harpswell, my […]
Someday my Queen Bee will come…just not today. My Honey Bees have let me down again. The last time we checked the Chuck BEEly Hive things looked hopeful. The Queen cells were empty, there was plenty of Worker Bee brood comb, and honey production had increased. All signs that a new Queen had assumed the […]
