Grandpa, Mom’s Dad, has gone on ahead of us and has been greeted by Lemmy at the end of the trail. His long battle with Alzheimer’s is over. I take great comfort though knowing that he and Lemmy are together again. They were the best of friends from the moment they met. Ok, I know […]
Dear Friends, Our Grandpa, Mom’s dad, isn’t doing well, and he and grandma need us. We’ll be taking a little break. Tail wags, Chuck Billy & Asa
To Boldly Go Where No Goldens Have Gone Before! Ok, so other Golden Retrievers have probably been there before us, but this was our first trip to the Bold Coast of Maine! The Bold Coast is the area north of Acadia, more commonly known as Down East Maine. But because “flatlanders” from “away” frequently refer […]
It is no secret that Mom and Dad are Helicopter Dog Parents, always hovering and keeping close watch over our every move. But what may come as a shock to you is we have never taken a family vacation together! Sure we have gone away for the weekend, but never on a long road trip. […]
The Goldens Are Coming! The Goldens Are Coming! Listen my children and you shall hear of the midday walk of Chuck Billy! I decided that our recent trip to Battle Road Trail in Concord, Massachusetts was the perfect opportunity to teach Asa about the American Revolution. However, it didn’t take long for me to realize […]
I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today. So I’d like to share with your this email my big brother Lemmy sent his Momma Butter on Columbus Day, October 10, 2009. Dear Momma Butter, Happy Columbus Day! I hope you have a fun day rolling in a big pile of leaves. I went on vacation to my Grandparents’ […]
As Dogs it is our responsibility to make sure our Humans get outside and enjoy their weekend. Well as luck would have it, this weekend many of our Humans will have three days off! But what makes this weekend extra special when compared to previous long weekends in recent months – our opportunities for fun […]
Asa, we need to have a little chat. Yes it is impressive that you out ran me and caught that frisbee…multiple times…in a row. But don’t you even think for a minute it is because you’re more athletic than me. It was just pure luck. After all, as your older brother anything you can do […]
Dear Mom and Dad, Asa and I can’t help but notice that you seem to follow the “do as I say, not as I do” philosophy when it comes to certain games. Case in point, this past weekend you had delivered a big dump truck full of dirt and a second truck full of rocks. […]
Yesterday Mom once again managed to slip into a post a reference to Lemmy’s triumphant day competing the New Hampshire Working Dogs Foundation’s Iron Dog way back in 2008. Sure we are proud of him. But how about a shout out to my short-lived career in Nose Work competitions? What, you didn’t know I’m certified […]
