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. With all due respect, clearly their research is flawed. We are brilliant and should be ranked at the top of that list. So while I enjoy a little rest and relaxation […]
As you know scientists have recently declared me a Golden Wolf, and Asa will eventually grow up to be a Dire Wolf. Well you can’t even begin to imagine our excitement when on a recent trip to Ipswich, MA we drove past a school for Wolves! According to the Wolf Hollow website their goal is […]
Dognabit! I can’t take it anymore!!! I’m sorry, that outburst was very unbecoming of a Golden. But once again Asa ruined a perfectly good nap by insisting on laying on my head. Recently though my good friend, Shawn, reminded me that Asa is only doing it because he loves me and wants to be with […]

Hanging out in my yard with Asa is like being with Pac Man. But instead of ghosts, he is tirelessly chasing crickets. You see our yard has exploded with crickets. They are everywhere! And Asa has taken it upon himself to try to eat them all. Problem is Asa doesn’t have the best eye / […]
Asa here. Yet again I feel the need to take over Chuck Billy’s blog to write about something I feel strongly about – Stop the Cruelty to Zombies! Last night Mom and Dad watched yet another offensive Zombie movie. While they scared themselves silly, I found myself getting upset with the unfair treatment of Zombies. […]
Finally we at Living With a Golden are getting the recognition we deserve! In honor of my 100th post, Market Basket’s bakery made frosted sugar cookies in the likeness of Asa and myself. Mom is trying to keep us humble by saying that it is pure coincidence. But just look at those cookies. How could […]
Wow! I can’t believe this is my 100th post! It all began on January 12, 2015 when I decided I wanted to start a blog to talk about my new little brother joining the family. Back then I envisioned “Living with a Golden” would be a fun and informative chat about guiding Asa through the […]
