It finally all makes sense! Mom thought she named Asa after her ancestor, who was a fisherman with a dry wit. Whereas Asa misunderstood and assumed Mom named him after the Japanese word asa which translates to “morning!” No wonder Asa lives by the motto of rise and shine, and insists that we all wake […]
When you’re a celebrity such as Asa and myself, we’re often noticed when we go places. Take for example our recent visit to Bug Light Park, when members of a bike tour shouted compliments as they pedaled past us relaxing at the park. They said everything from a cheery, “aren’t they cute!” to the leader […]
The story of Fawnzie began with a misheard conversation over a loud air conditioner. Dad and I had just returned from a walk and wanted to tell Mom and Asa about our new neighbor. However, it was difficult to hear over the drone of the AC, and Mom had the classic TV show “Happy Days” […]

Some of these images have become iconic and are burned into minds around the word. Other photos are captured by folks risking life and limb […]
The other day while on the way back from a hike, Dad stopped at the pharmacy to pick up more of Asa’s eyedrops. Normally we get our medications from our veterinarian’s office, but these eyedrops are prescribed by a specialist in another state. Therefore it is easier to get refills at our local human pharmacy.

This week I experienced the most terrifying half hour of my life, and Asa slept through it! We lost power on Wednesday thus starting a chain reaction of things beeping and buzzing throughout my home. Everyone knows beeping and buzzing signals danger! But did my family react? No! Mom and Dad just sat there drinking […]
Lately we’ve had two types of weather here in Maine: hot and humid, or cold and rainy. Although there are some who enjoy the heat and hate the rain, Asa has the opposite perspective. He embraces the rain and enjoys every refreshing minute playing in it. So today we debut his tribute to rainy summer […]
I had the best night’s sleep last night, and for once I have Asa to thank for it! It all began when Mom and Dad headed up to bed. Normally Asa and I sleep downstairs, with me choosing one of our four dog beds to sleep on, while Asa crashes on the couch. He knows […]
