Welcome to the 2nd Annual Take Your Lllama to the Beach Day, with your hosts Asa and Llily Llama! Last year while updating our blog post on Dog Beach Rules, I came across one town ordinance that I found very upsetting. “Horses, ponies, llamas, vicunas, alpacas and other large domesticated animals are not permitted within […]
It has been a month since I was diagnosed with kidney disease, so I thought I’d give you an update. As with any major diagnosis, I wanted to get a second opinion. Now don’t misunderstand me, I completely trust my veterinarian, Dr. Heidi. But when it comes to making a radical change to my diet, […]
WHAT? Sorry I can’t hear you over Asa’s caterwauling. Tomorrow, June 7, 2024, Bon Jovi will be releasing their new album, “Forever.” It’s a tradition in our home that every time Bon Jovi releases a new album, Asa and Mom must celebrate by playing all of their previous albums. In 40 years, according to my […]
Today we are starting Asa’s World Tour of Maine 2024 in Wales! According to Maine: An Encyclopedia, it was settled sometime around 1773 by European colonists from Wales in Great Britain, and incorporated as a town in 1816.

Just like last year’s successful world tour, we will be visiting places in Maine named for countries and famous cities around the globe. Along the way, there will be exploring dog friendly places, hiking, […]
The Rolling Stones brought their world tour to New England last night. Unfortunately, despite practicing his moves like Jagger, Asa did not receive an invitation to join them on stage…or even to be in the same stadium…or state. Not to be deterred though, we are moving forward with the release of Asa’s parody of the […]
It’s been 9 years since Chuck Billy first shared this story about the time I heroically rescued him from ginormous squeaky toys at Paws Walk 2015. Back then, I may have given him the impression that I was charging to his rescue. But in reality, I totally misread the situation and thought we were playing. […]
Dogs, are you tired of putting up with all those rules humans have for beaches? Or perhaps you just want the beach all to yourself? Well look no further! From the dogs who brought you Backyard Fur Oasis, introducing Beach in a Box! Get your sun, surf, sand, seaweed and seagulls – everything you need […]
For many Memorial Day Weekend signifies the start of summer. However, far too often while enjoying the long weekend, we forget the true reason for the holiday on Monday. Memorial Day is a time to honor those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country while serving in the military. In 2000, Congress passed the […]
Studies show that humans remember things better when set to a familiar tune. They also say repetition helps to retain information. Therefore rather than our usual post reminding folks that dogs must obey the leash rules, today I’m resharing Asa’s song on the topic. So grab those leashes and sing along to Asa’s parody of […]
