Today is one of those rare days in winter where Mother Nature gives us hope that spring is on the way. After a bone chilling January, Mother Nature is giving us beach weather in February! Ok, so there’s still snow on the beach, and Mom is wearing boots instead of flip flops. But by Maine […]
Many dogs have called the White House home and have proudly served our country as top dog. However today I’d like to pay tribute to two devoted presidential dog owners, whose best friends never set a paw in the White House. Yet their devotion to their dogs was undeniable, namely George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. […]
Today marks the start of Chinese New Year! Better yet, according to the Chinese zodiac calendar, it is the Year of the Dog! So I decided to do a little research to see what this all means. The Dog occupies the eleventh position in the Chinese zodiac, after the Rooster, and before the Pig. Which […]
I couldn’t help but notice that there’s been a lot on TV about how to celebrate Valentine’s Day. There are cooking shows on preparing the perfect meal, segments on the ideal location to spend the day, and ads for ways to show love ranging from jewelry to a new car. These are all nice, and […]
Sometimes, in rising up to meet a challenge, you can run into adversity. This is my story. During the subfreezing temperatures in January, Dad got the ridiculous idea that Asa and I should wear booties to protect our paws.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Asa is getting a bit nostalgic thinking of all his old squeaky toys that are no longer with us. Ok, I admit I may have killed a toy or two. But that is no reason to get all wishy washy and dedicate a song to them! Sure he […]
Lately I’ve been reading a lot about alternative forms of currency ranging from cryptocurrency like Bitcoin to e-commerce like Apple Pay. Well once again Dogs are leading the pack in this new world order. Since the invention of the poop bag, Dogs have been making purchases without any cash or credit. Therefore humans, it’s time […]
Asa and I love hiking, and sharing Dog Friendly Places with our friends. However, I have to admit sometimes our artistic vision for the photos taken during these hikes differ greatly from Mom’s goal. Since we weren’t able to go on a winter hike this past weekend, Asa and I thought we’d share with you […]
Super Bowl Sunday didn’t go quite as I imagined. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious; just a flesh wound, and a bruised ego. I realized while watching all the pregame hype that fetch isn’t all that much different than football. In fact I could even argue that fetch is a simplified version of football. Mom is […]
