I admit while on hikes I sometimes tune my family out. Do you blame me? Between Asa singing one of his parodies, Mom sharing “interesting” historical facts about the location, and Dad pointing out every animal he sees, it gets a bit much. However, I wish I was paying closer attention on our recent walk […]
On June 14, 1777 the Second Continental Congress officially adopted the United States of America’s flag. At the time, they resolved that “the flag of the United States shall be of thirteen stripes of alternate red and white, with a union of thirteen stars of white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” Therefore, […]
It all began while on a routine backyard patrol shift last week. I noticed a plant in our garden had been flattened. I incorrectly assumed it was due to the previous night’s heavy rain, and did not inspect it closer, nor did I file an official report with headquarters. However, a concerned citizen, Dad, later […]
Mom needed to go out yesterday, and she left Dad “in-charge.” Well she should know Dad isn’t ready for such responsibilities. Thankfully though, Asa and I had everything under control. Asa even did a little extra cleaning while she was out. Sometime after she left I had an upset tummy. I know, my fault. I […]
There is a reason why Asa has earned the nickname of Sir Poops A. Lot. When out enjoying adventures he likes to answer nature’s call…a lot! Now considering most of the trails we visit are carry out, and do not have trash receptacles, this could leave us with a stinky predicament for the ride home. […]
This weekend’s cooler temperatures were perfect for us to go for a stroll on the Kennebunk to Biddeford stretch of the Eastern Trail. Well almost perfect. It being a rail trail, Asa was inspired to write a new parody, which is now stuck in all of our heads! We’ve been hiking on the rail trail, […]
Earlier this week I shared my harrowing tale of how I waited forever, or at least over 15 minutes, to eat a piece of kibble that Asa dropped on the floor. Something similar happened to my brother, angel Lemmy, years ago. However, unlike me who was trapped, he had a choice and almost starved due […]
When it comes to food, Asa is very wasteful. This morning while eating breakfast he dropped a piece of kibble. Did he immediately retrieve it? Did he eat it once his bowl was empty? No! He finished his meal, left that one piece of kibble on the floor, and walked away! What a waste! Normally, […]
Last night while this renowned Dog Ufologist slept, a Maine Memorial Day weekend tradition continued. You may recall back in May 2016, a sergeant with the Portland police department captured on dash cam video a UFO rocketing over the city. At the time, experts dismissed it as a meteor. But of course I, a renowned […]
For many Memorial Day Weekend signifies the start of summer. However, far too often we forget the true reason for the holiday. Memorial Day is a time to honor those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War, to remember […]
