As the unrelenting heatwave continues to blanket parts of the country, we once again have rain in the forecast here in New England. At first I blamed Asa for doing too many rain dances, as the reason why Mother Nature won’t share our rain with the rest of the country. But then I stumbled upon […]
Asa here. All superheroes have their kryptonite, even my big brave brother, Chuck Billy. Earlier this week he shared his perspective on rescuing us from the chirping smoke detector, and how he may have needed to relieve himself after the fright was over. This isn’t the first time Chuck Billy has felt the need to […]
We are going from the Heart of Poland to the Heart of the Lakes Region for the fourth stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! We are rocking in Naples, Maine! Named for Naples, Italy, because according to Maine Memory Network, “the curve of the bay by the village resembled that of the Italian city.” The town […]
It happened again. My peaceful night’s sleep was interrupted by the jarring noise of the smoke alarm in my room chirping a low battery alert. Mom, who I’m not sure has ever enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep, heard it too, and was immediately there to rescue Asa and me. As soon as she flung open […]
As you know, Mom and Dad have that ridiculous “Four Paws on the Floor” rule, which means we’re not allowed on the furniture. Now being a good boy myself, I never break that rule. Asa, on the other paw, prior to his eye surgery was a rebel and would frequently jump up on the couch […]
This has been an unusually rainy summer here in New England. Bubbling brooks are now rushing like rivers. Rivers currents are at spring thaw speeds. Ponds and lakes are also above normal levels, hiding hazards beneath. Also the ocean can be churned up with storms lingering far off the coast. Therefore, before heading out to […]
Asa’s World Tour of Maine continues with Poland as our third intranational location! Poland, Maine is the original source of Poland Spring Water, which has been bottled and sold since 1859. As the story goes, in 1844 after drinking water from the spring for 10 days, Hiram W. Ricker claimed that he was cured of […]
This week Golden Retrievers from across the UK and beyond will be headed to Guisachan in the highlands of Scotland to celebrate the 155th Anniversary of the breed! In 1868, in his quest for the prefect gun dog and retriever for sportsmen, Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, later known as Lord Tweedmouth, bred a Yellow Wavy-coated Retriever […]
It has been brought to my attention that some of our friends would like to know the story behind our names. Lemmy, Asa and I are named after Mom’s ancestors who lived in the 1800s at the Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. Consisting of 9 islands, our focus today […]
Alright, I admit the first stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine was a bit of a washout by being overly ambitious. Hence why for the second stop we are visiting a smaller venue that is perfect for an up and coming rock star. We are rocking and rolling from Lebanon, the westernmost town in […]
