Five years ago today, Grandma lost her best friend and husband for 51 years; Mom and our Uncle lost their biggest cheerleader and confidante; and Asa and I lost the BEST Grandpa a dog could ever wish for. Mom still remembers that sad and stormy October night, as they drove home from the hospice for […]
Recently while enjoying a walk in the park, I couldn’t help but notice there were arrows painted on the ground. Asa, having an overactive imagination, immediately assumed the arrows pointed the way to a friendly elderly woman who lives in the woods in a house made of treats for good little dogs, and headed off […]
Don’t look, but I’m being stalked by a deer! Earlier this summer I introduced you to Fawnzie, my carefree and impulsive, daredevil neighbor. Since that time, periodically throughout the summer Fawnzie could be seen playing with reckless abandon in our yard, walking up the middle of our street in broad daylight without a care in […]
This weekend we are going pumpkin picking. Therefore, today we are taking a stroll down memory lane, or rather, through the pumpkin patch, to the time that Asa and I met the Great Pumpkin in 2019. Asa here. Recently while watching the Halloween classic, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” I made a startling realization. […]
For centuries humans have searched for the lost city of Atlantis. Well search no further! I, Chuck Billy the renowned Dog Ufologist, have found it!

Therefore, as his little helpers I decided that Chuck Billy and […]
Dear Owen Wilson, While watching the season premier of Saturday Night Live, I was struck by the review you shared. “Owen Wilson’s on-screen persona has all the ambition of an old Golden Retriever laying next to a fire.” In your monologue, you implied that was a negative comment. On the contrary! Being compared to a […]
You’ve heard of Aesop’s Fables. Well this an Asa’s Fable, but instead of a traditional moral to the story, you get one with a Chuck Billy twist. A Dog one day spied from his window a Fox eating the grapes in his yard. The dog barked, and paced, while the Fox ate. The Fox, once […]
Ever get that uneasy feeling that someone is watching you? I did. The other night while trying to relax and get petted, I couldn’t help but notice something wasn’t right. I assumed that the deer were once again trespassing in my yard, so I jumped up ready to bark at them from my window, but […]
Shout out to all the good dogs! You Rock! Periodically on Living with a Golden we feel the need to share reminders about proper dog etiquette when visiting beaches or trails. But after what we witnessed during our adventures these past couple of weeks, we want to congratulate all the dogs we saw working hard […]
