In celebration of National Dog Photography Day, we are saluting the unsung people behind the lens who capture everything from the mundane to the extraordinary in the lives of dogs. 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.

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 […]
I had a busy day yesterday with Pepere’s visit, and overslept on this rainy morning. So instead of my regularly planned post which would have been super awesome, please accept this tutorial of me teaching Hedgie the Hedgehog how to do a happy dance. Typical, Asa is showing off again and ignoring his friend, Hedgie. […]
It is interesting how the stories of some dog owners are applauded through history, while other tales are mocked. Take for example George Washington and Charles Lee. Both had the ambitious goal of becoming Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. Both went on to experience highs and lows during the American Revolution. And as […]
