Asa is experiencing another rite of passage. He received his first big boy bed for his crate! That is an important milestone for a dog. One that he’ll never forget. It means that Mom and Dad trust him not to have accidents and that he is mature enough to not play with it, or worse […]
I overheard Mom talking with a friend about their New Year’s Resolutions. They talked about changes to their diet, getting more exercise, and being more positive in the year ahead. Well those are all admirable goals, but their approach to it is all wrong. They don’t need to follow new diet trends, buy a gym […]

Actually, I must admit one of the movies Mom watched got me thinking. It was about a couple who each sold their prized possessions in order to buy the other a special gift […]
It’s December and in the state of Maine that means all law abiding dogs must be registered with their towns before the end of the year. The tax to register dogs started in the early 1800s. I’m not sure when it exactly began in Maine, but I do know that hanging on our town clerk’s […]
Dear Mother Nature, I’m filling with anticipation. For Christmas? No! For snow! The month of December is half over, and yet there has been no measurable snowfall here in southern Maine.
