For years now I have been searching for the portal in my kitchen. I have undeniable proof that it exists, as evident in the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of objects in that room. However, I could not locate the portal itself. That is until this weekend! I have found the portal in my kitchen to […]
As I watched the school bus drive past my house this morning, I was reminded of the kids who use to wait for it near my driveway. Back then I included pausing at the bus stop on my morning walk, so they could pet me. I would happily send them off for the day with […]
Autumn is a good time not just for humans to go back to school, but for dogs too. Asa and I are strong believers that training is not a one and done event, but instead a lifelong process. Even if you walk on a loose leash out of the obedience class, head held high, with […]
Asa, I have exciting news for you about this stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! We are going to play in Woodstock…Maine! Alright, so it isn’t the Woodstock in New York where the famous music festival took place in August 1969. But technically that music festival didn’t take place in Woodstock either. It was […]

Speaking of independence, why is Llily Llama joining […]
Contrary to how it appears, I’m alright! This bandage on my paw is because I nicked my dewclaw. I didn’t react at all, but apparently they bleed a lot, and Mom gets a little squeamish around blood. The bleeding has stopped. But Dad says I need to stay bandaged up while it heals. But to […]
This weekend cryptozoologists, naturalists, monster hunters, Nessie enthusiasts, and skeptics from around the world are gathering in Scotland for what will be the biggest coordinated search for the Loch Ness Monster in 50 years. Organized by the Loch Ness Centre and Loch Ness Exploration, and using the latest state of the art equipment, their goal […]
As promised, Asa’s World Tour of Maine has returned to Paris! And this time we are at the correct library in the Paris Hill Historic District of South Paris, Maine! Today it is the Hamlin Memorial Library and Museum, but back in 1822 this imposing building served as the Oxford County Jail. Asa: Wow, they […]
This is a BIG day for Asa’s World Tour of Maine! Sure stopping in Rumford, Maine is a little detour off our itinerary to visit towns in Maine named after countries and famous international cities. Although we’re not that far off because some say it was named after Rumford in Scotland, but others argue it […]
