For years I have been haunted by an innocent mistake I made as a puppy. I stole Santa’s hat. When I was a mere pup of 11 months old, Mom and Dad took me to get my picture taken with Santa, and let’s just say I got a bit overly excited. Come on, who hasn’t […]
For the entire month of December Dogs will be faced with all sorts of temptations that we must resist if we want to be on Santa’s, and more importantly Mom’s, Nice List. I have to admit Asa did a really good job with the Christmas Obstacle Course of Temptation that Mom set up last year. […]
There we were all snug in our beds enjoying a peaceful night’s sleep. When all of a sudden Asa made that one sound that can wake Mom from a deep slumber. He was about to vomit. Down the stairs, two at a time, Mom came with a bound, determined to save the living room rug! […]
Dear Mother Nature, we need to have a little talk. We couldn’t help but notice that it is December here in Maine, and all we’re suppose to receive today is a dusting to a couple inches of snow. Yet our friends all around the country and beyond are already enjoying lots and lots of snow. […]

People, please relax! I know you’re all excited that today is my birthday, and you all want to get me a present. But there’s no reason to line up before dawn at stores across the country and push and shove your way to finding me the perfect gift! Yes, it’s flattering that to celebrate my […]
Henry David Thoreau clearly understood what it means to be a dog. Thoreau once wrote: “I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite – only a sense of existence… O how I laugh when I think of my vague […]
For those of you hitting the road this Thanksgiving, here is Asa’s updated version of Over the River and Through the Woods for you to sing on your journey. From our family to yours, safe travels and Happy Thanksgiving! Over the river and through the woods, To Grandmother’s house we go; The GPS knows back […]
