Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of me joining my family. I’ve always been struck by that line in It’s a Wonderful Life when Pa Bailey tells his son George, “you were born older.” In many ways I think that describes my role in this family. As the middle dog, I’ve experienced life as both the […]
Sunday, March 27th, is the 10th anniversary of my Gotcha Day! It’s hard to believe it has been a decade since I left my my brothers and sisters in the whelping box, and headed out on my grand adventure with my forever family. Those certainly were carefree days filled with eating, sleeping and playing. However […]
As we say goodbye to the last patch of snow in our backyard, I couldn’t help but be reminded of my brother, angel Lemmy. No one loved snow more than Lemmy. From the first flake of the season to the last, he cherished every bit of it. However, it was that last flake that would […]
Today is National Puppy Day! To celebrate, I thought I’d share this video of Asa’s first year. It begins with Asa’s arrival home in January 2015 and goes through to his first birthday in November. Ok, not exactly a full year, but what do you expect with Asa doing the math? Be sure to watch […]
This past Sunday it was a beautiful day in our neighborhood, and Mom and Dad were restless. Therefore Asa and I decided to leash them up and take them for a walk on the beach to burn off some energy. Little did we realize the adventure that awaited us! When we arrived we discovered the […]
In honor of the first full day of Spring, Asa wrote a song celebrating all that springtime in New England has to offer. This parody was inspired while on walk when we saw a wild turkey roosting in a pine tree. What better tune to use than the “Twelve Days of Christmas,” because it is […]
It is that time of the year when we need to keep an eye on our apiary. Although the hives are currently empty, critters coming out of hibernation are hungry and looking for food. We don’t want them damaging our hives like the raccoons and bear have done previous years. However, I can’t do everything […]
Dogs, the weather is finally warming up here in New England, with the first day of spring just a few days away. However, when answering the call of adventure, don’t let your guard down about ticks. Because they are also emerging from their winter hibernation and they are hungry! Contrary to what some may believe, […]
When it comes to food, Asa is weird. Whereas I spend hours anticipating dinner, and reminding Mom to feed us, Asa will not help at all. In fact when dinner is finally served, he will patiently wait for me to finish. And instead of begging for a delicious morsel while Mom and Dad eat, Asa […]
Today, March 15, 2022, marks the 202nd anniversary of Maine becoming the 23rd state in the United States. Although the history of Maine goes back much farther than 200 years, it wasn’t until March 15, 1820 that it seceded from Massachusetts to become its own state. At that time the legislators chose the state motto […]
