A couple weeks ago we attended Dog Daze II Dock Diving competition in Kittery. What an amazing sport! It combines everything that we love! There’s running, jumping, fetching, and swimming! It is the ultimate sport for Golden Retrievers! But as usual, Mom and Dad crushed our dreams. Would you believe they forced us to sit […]
Stratham Hill Park in Stratham, New Hampshire is very deceiving. From the parking lot it looks like your average recreational area with designated sports fields and playground. But follow the trail to the woods, and you’ll find a variety of dog friendly hiking trails to explore. The trails range from wide smooth paths for easy […]
My silly little brother would like to share with you today his major “discovery.” So without further ado, here’s Asa: Recently on my evening walk I made a huge discovery – tennis balls grow on trees! We were visiting a neighbor when my eyes locked on this awesome tree growing in the far corner of […]
The following is a public service announcement from Chuck Billy and Asa: We’d like to talk with you today about a serious topic – Retrieving. Many people inaccurately assume that just because we are Golden Retrievers we can retrieve. However, that cannot be further from the truth! Eye / mouth coordination is a skill not […]
I found a way to scare my little brother, Asa! Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh. Despite being well past the teething stage, Zombie Puppy still can’t resist chomping down on me. What if I totally scare the little guy into thinking he really did turn me into a Zombie Dog?! I stumbled upon this unattended basket […]

Recently we attended the the UFO Festival in Exeter, New Hampshire. Finally I had the opportunity to hang out with like-minded individuals, while spreading the word on the dangers of dog abductions by Aliens. But as usual, Asa ruined everything! As soon as we arrived he was the center of attention. He was even interviewed […]
School buses are awesome! It is the ultimate car ride for dogs: They are filled with kids who want to play. Kids who are easily distracted and may lose track of their delicious lunches and snacks. And unlike Mom and Dad’s cars, school buses have a runway straight down the middle for dogs to stretch […]
In honor of Labor Day, I’d like to give a shout out to the hardest working dogs I know – the K9s of the Working Dog Foundation! These highly trained dogs are accomplished professionals who are on duty day and night helping to protect our police officers and assist them locate and rescue missing persons; detect […]
Recently I read an amusing article by the AKC listing Golden Retrievers as the fourth smartest dog, behind Border Collies, Poodles and German Shepherds.
