Dad’s trees are under attack! As you know from Lead Us Not into Temptation, Dad takes his trees seriously…even if some of them look more like sticks than trees. Well you can’t even begin to imagine how bad I feel that I let Dad down. Everyone knows that a farmer depends on his dog to scare […]
Asa has been living with us for six months now. Time for another performance review! I’ll be using the same questions from his First 100 Days interview: How do you see your role in this family? Now that I’ve been here for six months, I feel that my role has been clearly defined as Entertainment […]
To get a full appreciation for what I’m about to tell you, please hum the theme song from Baywatch while you read this. In my last post I praised my little brother’s innate ability to swim. As our vacation continued, Asa proved to me that he was ready to put his skills to good use. So […]
Our vacation continues! This is Asa’s first time at the lake, and as a good big brother I was prepared to teach him how to swim. When I was a little scamp Lemmy wasn’t exactly a good teacher. Ok, he was awful! Lemmy was a bit of curmudgeon and wasn’t good at explaining things, so […]
Mom and Dad have a few days off from work. Time to head to my Grandparents’ lake house for a vacation! But before we head out, we need to pack. Asa and I have become accustomed to certain creature comforts. Therefore when we go on vacation it is like packing for a small army. Amongst […]
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 […]
