In honor of National K9 Veterans Day, we thank the retired Military Working Dogs and Police K9s for your bravery and loyalty in protecting our country and the men and women who served beside you. National K9 Veterans Day was created thanks to the efforts of retired military working dog trainer, Joseph Wright, who chose March […]
I make it a point to always read the fine print when looking for a dog friendly vacation rental. Although a place may claim to be a pet friendly summer cottage, some rental properties are very specific about what they will allow. Most have rather routine rules. However, while recently researching where we’ll stay this […]
All that snow yesterday got me nostalgic about Asa’s first winter. In 2015 we received a record amount of snow, in fact it literally snowed every day for the first 16 days he lived with us! I was convinced that Mom and Dad accidentally brought home a polar bear instead of a puppy. But I […]
These are the times that try dogs’ souls. After a month of being unable to play fetch because the backyard is covered in ice, it is finally almost melted. So what does Mother Nature do? She’s sending us more snow! Now don’t get me wrong, I love winter. However, I also love spring. And Mother […]
Mother Nature put on quite a show for us this past weekend. Although Friday’s nor’easter was not a direct hit on Maine, it did coincide with astronomical high tides. Thus setting the stage for an awe inspiring performance along the coast. For the past three years we have shared on our Dog Friendly Places page […]
It’s time to play everyone’s favorite game – Dog Bed Tetris! Why take a boring nap, when you can turn it into a game? The rules are simple. How many different ways can two Golden Retrievers fit onto one oversized dog bed? It may sound easy, but it’s not. Anything can happen during this game […]
Apparently yesterday was National Peanut Butter Lovers Day. Not to be confused with National Peanut Butter Day which takes place in January or National Peanut Butter Month which everyone knows is November. Anyways, I would like to dedicate My Ode to Peanut Butter to our big brother, Lemmy, who absolutely loved this treat. So much […]
Asa here. Mom and I both have our annual physicals this week! However, whereas I look forward to seeing my veterinarian, Mom is a bit reluctant to see her doctor. What’s not to love? To show her there is nothing to fear, I decided to invite Mom to tag along on my yearly wellness checkup […]
Well apparently the case of the missing dog nail clippers continues! Guess what arrived on our doorstep on Saturday? The “undeliverable” replacement clippers Mom ordered a month ago! Dad thought he canceled that order when we received notice they couldn’t be delivered for unexplained reasons. Yet, surprise there it was almost a month to the […]
This week Asa and I competed in the ice dancing competition at the Dog Winter Olympics. Ice dancing is more than just gliding on the ice, it is as ethereal as ballet, with two bodies moving as one. There are no lifts above the head, no heroic jumps, just pure self-expression as we glide across […]
