I’m beginning to realize that Asa is a literal little fellow, and that I need to be careful what I tell him. Case in point, this morning I was happily telling him that our family reunion will be happening soon. I LOVE this annual event! I get to see Momma Sage, Grandma Rue, Aunt Brie, […]
I watched a TV show today about the trend in environmentally friendly Tiny Houses. Who knew I was a trend setter?! I’ve been helping to build Tiny Houses for years! Whenever the weather permits, Mom likes to groom Asa and I outside. It’s part of her silly battle against fur tumbleweeds inside, but I digress. […]
UPDATE 2021: Dogs will continued to be allowed. However, dogs need to be leashed and under control of their owners from April 1st to September 30th on beaches in Saco where piping plovers or least terns are present or have traditionally nested. Previously, dogs only had to be on leash on the beach from 9 […]
Puppies these days have it too easy! Yesterday was a hot one here with temperatures nearing 90 degrees. Apparently Asa decided it was too inconvenient to stand in front of the AC to cool off, so he pawed at the fan until Mom turned it on for him. Seriously?! Why can’t he just content himself […]
Ok, I get it. Puppies explore the world by putting everything into their mouths. But Asa is certainly pushing the limits by treating our morning walks like a puppy smorgasbord! Must he stop and sample every maple tree seed, pinecone and twig that he sees? Worst yet, why does he insist on licking worms and […]
For months now I’ve been foolishly deluded into thinking I was invisible. Every time I ventured out with Asa, people would surround him while ignoring me. I thought for sure I was inadvertently doing something wrong and making people ignore me. But then it occurred to me the problem is not what I’m doing, but […]
Asa here. I don’t know why Chuck Billy wrote such a negative blog about Independence Day. Quite frankly I think it was the best holiday yet! We began our celebration by attending a friend’s delicious cookout. Unlike our parents who don’t like to share their table food with us, the children at this party were […]
Independence Day is the worst holiday! It defies all reason. Why would anyone take an awesome holiday celebrated with cookouts and going to the beach, and ruin it with explosions and the sky raining fire?! What are humans celebrating their independence from – their sanity? Making this holiday even more confusing is the ironic fact […]
Summer is officially here as evident in the tourists seen around our neighborhood. It all started with a porcupine taking up residence in our brush pile. Ok, I admit I’m a little upset that Dad said I’m no longer allowed to add sticks to the pile, so as not to disturb Mr. Porcupine’s summer sojourn. […]
My parents clearly don’t enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Each week they grumble about Garbage Day. But for me that’s the best day of the week! The festivities begin with Mom making a trash bag piñata using the kitchen garbage. Asa and I fill with anticipation as she lifts that wonderful smelling bag out […]
