I’m beginning to think Mom and Dad’s trainer is a cat person. Asa and I arrived at their second class full of exuberance to see their trainer. Would you believe he ignored us? No petting, no happily greeting us, not even a treat! And I know he had treats because I could smell them in […]
Our Grandma is from “away,” which loosely translates to anyplace other than Maine. Therefore, Asa and I wanted to give her a true Maine experience for her recent visit. Our original plan was to begin the day with a beach romp. However, Grandma’s insistence on sleeping past 6 AM and eating breakfast first made it […]
Today I’m giving Mom a rare day off, because Grandma is visiting for the weekend! However, I’m taking this opportunity to re-share my post on how I got my name. Lemmy, Asa and I are named after Grandpa’s ancestors who lived in the nineteenth century at the Isles of Shoals on a tiny island off […]
There’s a suspicious character lurking around our backyard. It is a mysterious stranger with an obvious fake mustache! But who is this winged intruder? Theory 1: He is a spy working with the Squirrels on some diabolical plot to steal the wild blueberries growing in our yard. Theory 2: He is in the witness protection […]
Mom and Dad’s first training class didn’t go quite as expected. However, I believe we are on the right track to retraining them to be more responsive to our demands, oops I mean commands. Anyways, as soon as we arrived to class, the trainer immediately separated us! He tied Asa to one corner, me to […]
It was a quiet Saturday morning. Asa and I were enjoying our post-breakfast nap, and Mom had just settled in to watch a little TV. Then suddenly our tranquil bliss was ruined with the ear piercing chirp of a smoke alarm! Instantly I ran to the door! After all, everyone knows you’re suppose to get […]
Did you know earlier this week was Cow Appreciation Day? I’m way overdue in letting the Cows, who lived on our street, know how much I appreciated them. So late, in fact, they’ve left the neighborhood months ago! I truly do miss them. They were a huge part of our routine, and yet like most […]
This year marks the 150th Anniversary of Golden Retrievers! In 1868, in his quest for the prefect gun dog and retriever for sportsmen, Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, also more easily remembered as Lord Tweedmouth, bred a Yellow Wavy-coated Retriever with a Tweed Water Spaniel, a now extinct breed, at his estate in the Scottish Highlands. Thus […]
Asa and I have decided to sign Mom and Dad up for summer school! Oh sure for the most part they respond well to our commands. However, after the long winter of being stuck inside, we noticed they could use a bit of a tune up. This especially holds true when walking them on a […]
Not only are the Ants attacking my Honey Bees again, they’ve made my Chuck BEEly Hive into their evil lair! Come on ladies! You were once part of Azzza Hive, my strongest and fiercest hive of Honey Bees! In your old hive you wouldn’t let itty bitty Sugar Ants invade your territory and steal your […]
