We interrupt our regularly scheduled post with this important reminder about rip tides. With Hurricane Earl spinning off the New England coast, there will be rough waves along the beaches this weekend. Meteorologists are predicting 4 to 8 feet swells that will create a rip current risk, and swimmers are advised to take caution. Therefore […]
How do you say goodbye to someone who lived a relatively quiet life away from the spotlight, yet was known by friends around the world? Such is the case for our dear friend and lawyer, Pye, the Guinea Pig, Esq., who crossed Rainbow Bridge on Friday. Council to dogs everywhere, Pye’s quiet and reassuring presence […]
As many of our friends with both four legs and two, young and old, go back to school, I would like to share with you the solid advice I gave Asa when he was just a puppy. These words of inspiration can be found etched in stone along the Babson Boulder Trail in Dogtown Woods, in […]
Recently I was asked about my first big interview as a renowned Dog Ufologist. It all happened during my incident at Exeter in 2019. No, I’m not talking about the infamous Incident at Exeter, in which a UFO was spotted in Exeter, New Hampshire on September 3, 1965. I’m referring to my experience at the […]

In celebration of National Dog Day, come with me as we go back in time to where it all began. No, not as recent as 7 years ago for the start of our blog, Living with a Golden. Even farther back than 1868, when the first Golden Retriever was bred in Scotland. No, I’m taking […]
Asa here. I did it! I officially recorded my first song! Alright, I admit it is background music, on a corporate gig. But a recording is a recording, and I did it! Dad was recording a short training video for his coworkers. He’s done this before, and to be honest they are really boring that […]
Asa, put down the squeaky ball. We need to have a little chat. As an up-and-coming rock star, you’re going to meet a lot of new “friends” along the way. Some will genuinely have your best interest at heart. Others, not so much. Some may promise you big things to help further your career. Like […]
