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 […]
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.

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. As you can probably guess, Asa and I had completely different reactions. However, being a good […]
The Dog Winter Olympics are finally here! Today Asa and Chuck Billy will be competing in the dog-cathlon! Yes, the decathlon is normally considered to be a Summer Olympics sport. However at the Dog Olympics, we like to make these track and field sports more difficult by showing off the athletes’ running and jumping skills […]
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 […]
