Dear Great Pumpkin, On this National Pumpkin Day, I’d like to give you a pep talk. After watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for the umpteenth time, it has come to my realization I don’t know anyone who has actually met you. I can understand being shy, and not wanting to draw attention to […]
It all started a few years ago when Mom purchased a pumpkin Halloween costume for my older brother, Angel Lemmy. It looked harmless enough, a hat and a collar, and Lemmy didn’t mind too badly having to wear it. Little did my family realize though, that small purchase would awaken Mom’s secret obsession with dog […]
It seems like everyone is getting dressed up for Halloween these days. Dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs like to don a costume in the spirit of the season. But would you believe spiders are wearing disguises this year too! Why back in my day, a spider was scary enough just being a spider. But […]
Gather round my friends. There’s a Halloween feel in the air today. So join me as we take a candlelight stroll down memory lane to a story I first shared in 2019. This tale, inspired by true events, is a homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843), and continues to haunt me to […]
Asa’s World Tour of Maine continues with a visit to Calais, Maine! Located along the St. Croix River which separates the United States from Canada, it was named after Calais, France, in recognition of the assistance the French gave us during the American Revolution. However, rather than pronounce it the French way, “Cal-lay,” Mainers have […]
Asa here, and I have some wonderful news to share! I went for my 4 month follow-up with my ophthalmologist for my Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis, and I got good news!!!!! My apologies for all the exclamation points, but I’m super excited. Remember when I last posted about my right eye, we were concerned because […]
Not everything during our visit to Eastport, Maine went according to plan. In fact our hike at Shackford Head State Park quickly turned into a bad situation that could have easily been the plot of a Stephen King novel. Shortly after starting our hike, we were fleeing from the trail! When we arrived we were […]
Asa here. Chuck Billy did a great job yesterday describing the attractions to see in Eastport, Maine. However, he neglected to mention one special exhibit that was there just for one day – us! On the day we visited, there was a cruise ship docked at the historic Port of Eastport… …It was ginormous! And […]
We are back! After taking two weeks off to unplug and take Mom and Dad on a well earned vacation, Asa and I are back! And boy do we have adventures to share! We explored old familiar places, as well as found new ones to hike. We also did something we’ve never done on a […]
Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you can miss it.” So in following his lead, we are taking some time off. Alright, so while we unplug, Asa and I won’t be “borrowing” a Ferrari, and I can guarantee our adventures won’t be […]
